Braun has been a miracle worker this year, but we have so little talent on offense.

Guess that might be the play that sealed the game for us. We’re toast the way the game is going now. Those first 14 points were nothing if they will end up winning 45-21.

Worst play if season?? NU gets the ball back to start second half so that compounds the mistake.

Henning was running a wheel out of the slot trying to get a little bit of a pick and got knocked off his route. Still not a ball that should have been thrown.
A dysfunctional play all around. Route combo looked totally broken as you diagrammed and both the decision to throw and the location were nonsense

No harm. Use the timeout and you still have 2 more shots at the endzone

What we are seeing right now, in response to that pick six is a LONG way from the past two years of FITZBALL. These guys have HEART!

Gotta say I absolutely love the decision to put the ball back in Bryant’s hands and be aggressive

Jesus, you guys are really the least knowledgeable and most fickle fans in college football.

This team makes no ******* sense. But Fitz 100000% would’ve just kneeled that half out after the pick.

I know Tyus is not the number one guy but he has really developed into a good back and need to convince him to stay

Sadly true in all likelihood. Love Braun’s attitude. And this team doesn’t give up. A lot of nervous Nellies here today.

I’d be surprised if he is not back. I also think the freshman RB, Chris K, will be a strong contributor next year.

I like we came back for the td in the final minute of the 1st half. We had a strong start but let things slip away. Let’s beat the Illini!
