Rutgers vs Illinois / Game Thread

[Jim_from_RU]

Our D needs to step up

Balancing our universe. :weary:

 

[mildone_rivals]

Good time for an INT.

 

[rufeelinit]

Wharton needs to do better there. In position.

 

[rurichdog]

Still can't figure out how Wharton didn't get the INT. It may as well have landed on his shoulder pad.

 

[RU848789]

Illinois is figuring out that George Jr. is gonna have all friggin' day to throw the ball. This won't end well.

With George's arm and protection, I have no idea why they'd ever run the ball...

 

[RUChoppin]

Wharton needs to do better there. In position.

Had his right arm held down by the receiver as the ball arrived.

 

[Abro1975]

I'm surprised Ill runs at all when they can complete almost every pass

 

[j10oreo]

Honest question, why did Ash create a qb competition in the offseason rather than commit and help improve Gio?

 

[RUSK97]

Balancing our universe. :weary:

Just don't want to get into a Scoring battle with them. I think that favors them.

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

Is there anyone who can't beat Wharton, and are we ever going to rush more than four? Not sure how good this staff is, but one thing is for sure - they are short on balls.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Why the hell are we calling a timeout?

 

[RU4Real]

With George's arm and protection, I have no idea why they'd ever run the ball...

He has a tendency to sometimes not hit what he's aiming at.

 

[RU-Kidding]

Had his right arm held down by the receiver as the ball arrived.

yeah but he has 2 arms

 

[Plum Street]

Cmon d !

 

[RUSK97]

Honest question, why did Ash create a qb competition in the offseason rather than commit and help improve Gio?

Because Gio is Flood's guy. He brought Bolin in.

 

[LETSGORU91]

Hicks unfortunately has a case of the fumblooskis.

As does Martin today. We might not see him the rest of the game. Hicks, Blackshear, and Edwards are getting good chunks at a time.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Review that call.

 

[BillyC80]

Gotta review.

 

[rurichdog]

Yeahhh that's a TD

 

[rufeelinit]

Would like to see a replay. Looks very close.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Take a second look.

 

[RU848789]

Probably not enough to overturn...

 

[Abro1975]

Too close to over turn

 

[koleszar]

Why the hell are we calling a timeout?

We were confused as usual.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Doesn't look like a TD from the replay

 

[j10oreo]

That was a good attempt at the stop regardless.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Knee was down first.

 

[RU848789]

oooh, looks like knee hit before the ball crossed the line...

 

[RUMcMahon]

BS , the knee is down before the extension

 

[Plum Street]

Tough call. He wasn't in

 

[rufeelinit]

Don't think this gets overturned

 

[BillyC80]

Won't be overturned.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Do the officials suck? Yes.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Also, he lost his helmet in the process, doesn't that make the play dead?

 

[RUMcMahon]

And in typical fashion, the call goes against us

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Refs blow the call and it stands

 

[mildone_rivals]

Am I biased? No!

 

[RUChoppin]

yeah but he has 2 arms

Made the pass breakup much harder. He interfered with the receiver a few steps earlier, too. Letting a lot go between receivers and defenders so far today.

 

[rurichdog]

It was a stop until he extended the ball over the plane. Whatchagonnado?

 

[shields]

Can we ever make a stop?
