East St. Louis 24, Gainesville, Ga. 21, final

[4Afan]

Don't get cute, just move the ball and run the clock.

 

[rink231111]

East Side keeps it on the ground. No first down will have to punt from its own 38 with 1:35 to go.

 

[rink231111]

Not a great punt by Wilkinson. Gainesville will take over at the 22 with 1:28 to go.

 

[rink231111]

Hughley almost connects on a long pass on 3rd and 11. But receiver drops it at the last second.

 

[rink231111]

Diving catch on 4th and 11 as Hughley had forever to throw. First down at the Gainesville 36 with 31 seconds to go.

 

[rink231111]

Pass moves Gainesville up to its own 42. Time out. Maybe 12 seconds left. Clock changed to 18 seconds

 

[rink231111]

Pass completion down to the ESL 31. But flags flew well before ball was thrown. Holding on Gainesville. Ball back to its 32. 13 seconds

 

[rink231111]

Hughley runs it out to the 43. 5 seconds left.

 

[rink231111]

Quick pass gets ball out to midfield. 2 seconds left.

 

[rink231111]

Hughley heaves pass down field. Camera lost track of the ball, but I don't think any one was close to making a catch.

Great job on the updates rink

3 Field Goals and won by 4 points.

I think ESL just became a believer in having a kicker.

He's pretty good when you can execute the snap and hold.

I saw on Facebook that he has the nickname Boots and is in the running for homecoming court.

Token "special teams" nomination for homecoming?

Yeah I accidently typed 4 vs 3 in my post.

I forget who called you out a couple weeks ago, but you really are THAT GUY 1) who got cut from football his soph year 2) locked in his gym locker for a couple days AND 3) is totally pissed off at the world.

Gomiller with an 82 yard TD reception from Shanklin on first down. He was alone in the middle of the secondary and just ran away. ESL goes for 2 from a kicking formation and the run by Chris Jackson fails 11-7 ESL

Oof, catlick edumacation shining through again. You were the one who couldn't decipher a score last week, Morris doesn't have cuts, I hid in my locker to get out of class, and I love my life.

Long ride home for baby Wayne

Awesome play by play. I could have stayed home instead of baking out there for 4 quarters.

These are the types of games Illinois needs to play and win regularly to get national rankings.

Last week was a lost opportunity - a win there and end with a clean sheet puts ESL in the top 10.

Last week now looks like a real kick in the gut. How could ESL not get 10 yards in OT for a score???

I don't disagree. But I'm still pretty happy with a 2-1 start. With those opening 3 games, 0-3 was a realistic possibility q

Raheem Floyd is better than Toriano Pride, who was just drafted despite being 5/10. This kid is verified at 6/1. He is gonna do big things in FLA!

Pride was/still is pretty good. Wasn’t home grown though. Maybe that’s the difference.
