Rutgers vs Illinois / Game Thread

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

play lewis, forget Bolin for the rest of the year

Apart from other things we don't do well, working the clock is tops. Have to throw controlled passes on 2nd down and worry about moving the chains. Too much time left and they'll be throwing on almost every down and clock will stop. Just make 2 FDs each possession.

 

[RU848789]

Don't like our very conservative playcalling this half after the TD, but at least the defense is playing well and not allowing them to close the gap yet. Also, have no clue why every team doesn't try to block our punts - have had a ton almost blocked this year, including that last one. Not sure if it's the blocking or if Anderson takes too much time.

Gray on the coverage

 

[koleszar]

Gray is sloooowwwww. He'll never make it at safety. This is what conservative offense gets you Ash. Went to it too soon.

 

[soundcrib]

Uh oh

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

WTF???

 

[RU82]

TD Illinois.

We can still blow this game.

Ugh

 

[Caliknight]

Lack of killer instinct on the offensive side is bleeding into D.

Game not over, Ash goes 4 corners.

 

[Abro1975]

Up by 18 how in the world do you like the receivers get so far behind you

 

[DJ Spanky]

Dear god we have no killer instinct.

 

[RUSK97]

Here comes that miraculous comeback.

 

[Plum Street]

We need a few first downs and no turnovers

 

[RU848789]

That was way too easy - can't be giving up long passes up 18 in the 4Q - safeties ought to be deep enough to prevent that.

 

[ScarletSince86]

Ash and kill are way too conservative. It’s very painful to watch them coach.

 

[Block R]

nm

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Our receivers must be so jealous when they see the guy behind the center do that thing where he moves his arm forward and release the ball in the direction of someone running fast.

 

[kapyoche]

That was too easy. Not confident that Rutgers is going to win this game. They may win this close but they are an awful team.

 

[RUsince52]

Can we cover anybody one on one ??? 3rd and long from their red zone and 2 plays later, TD. Just terrible defense period and not close to either WR.

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

was going to say George is awful then he makes two good throws.


why wasn't Gio's non-fumble reviewed?

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Offense will now come out and just try to burn clock and show no sense of urgency to put them away. Basically just hope we hold onto the lead until the clock hits zero.

 

[JonathanAlan]

Wish we had George..kid can play . especially with our pathetic rush

 

[RUScrew85]

We'll win. But I guess not by 20 like we hoped.

 

[newell138]

Remember the last time we played at Illinois? Wasn’t that a game we had won then lost? Leonard leap game?

 

[bitnez]

I think we've thrown the ball like 12 times all game. We've killed them with the run. Now, all of a sudden, were supposed to start throwing the ball? Come on, guys. This is what we are.

 

[mildone_rivals]

No penalties and run them into the ground. No fumbles.

just disgusting approach...a loser's attitude

 

[brookdale-soda]

Offensive strategy needs to change on this possession

 

[RutgersRaRa]

It probably was while Gio was down. It wouldn't have been overturned, anyway.

 

[Abro1975]

DBinjuries starting to show.

 

[RUScrew85]

How big of you. I deleted mine if it makes you happy.

Well then I'll delete my **** *** - Damnit! LOL

 

[RUSK97]

Remember the last time we played at Illinois? Wasn’t that a game we had won then lost? Leonard leap game?

Think so. 2005?

 

[newell138]

Do we have a first down in the 4th quarter?

 

[mildone_rivals]

C’mon OLine.

 

[Abro1975]

Gio gritting it out

 

[koleszar]

This is fvcking ridiculous we're running into an 8 man front coming down hill. Kill sucks and now he goes with Lewis. I give up. This is beyond asinine.

 

[Abro1975]

4 corner offense.

 

[Caliknight]

Gonna be a nail biter at the end.

 

[RUSK97]

'Nois knows we won't pass except 3rd down.

 

[newell138]

They will just stack the box the rest of the game
