Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Illinois
- Thread starter mshelton33

College offenses that can consistently hit a 10-15 yard out are gonna be hard to stop. Mostly QB play.
Fire Jake now. He has zero game situation play calling. 2 plays to get 2 yds.
Jake keeps Illini in game.
Well, we gotta march back down and score. But man our D is not at its best today…can they turn it around?
Respect to the playcall. I hope NU was coached that Williams can throw the ball.
I think it would’ve been Hollis’ guy who caught the pass.
This is a pretty good college football game. Both teams playing decently, QB play is good, big plays and mistakes on both sides.
Melt down on 3rd and short.. chaos in the clutch followed up by a fumbled punt. Entertaining at least.
Let’s remember back to the first half when Beilema called a timeout just so he could chew out the refs over the intentional grounding non-call for an extra two minutes
Not getting points on the prior series was brutal. Gotta make our fg’s. We got a break with the muffed punt. Let’s get a td to take the lead. Go Cats!
Last year for this game, I was sitting in a movie theater with my son and daughter, periodically checking the phone and surveying the damage from a distance.
I would’ve never expected that NU would enter this game trying for seven wins *and* trying to prevent Bert from eligility.
What a fun game.
(And nobody knows who wears #18. Goooo Garner!)
