Rutgers vs Illinois / Game Thread

[ClassOf02v.2]

I thought the ball crossed the plane before the knee was down.

Run D was stout, issue is not throwing any blitzes at inexperienced line and QB.

 

[rufeelinit]

We were confused as usual.

Looked like 22 was not in the right position

 

[RC85]

And in typical fashion, the call goes against us

 

[Block R]

Knee was down first.

Not the way I saw it. Knee almost touched but then he extended to the line and then the knee hits. Great play by the back.

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

I think he was over before the knee was down. The ball just need to cross the front part of the white line and to me it did even without the extension of the ball. Actually think there was enough evidence to confirm forget about not enough to overrule.

I don't like the defensive scheme. No pass rush , no blitzes , with a makeshift defensive backfield that's having trouble covering. George will end up looking like Johnny Unitas at this rate.

 

[Purple-Ed]

That was a TD.

 

[ScarletSince86]

Is hester playing at all?

 

[rurichdog]

D Line is getting hands up in the passing lanes today. Progress.

 

[RUMcMahon]

Lmao [roll]

I don't get it Nieman complains we can't get pressure with the front four. Well guess what genius do something about it. BLITZ!!

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

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

The same reason Applefield didn't play, Hicks didn't play, and Edwards was handed the RB job.

 

[Plum Street]

These announcers are pretty solid. They did their homework and are actually talking about the game

 

[Abro1975]

Gio needs to learn to slide or he'll get hurt again

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

HE HIT A WIDE RECEIVER IN STRIDE!

For an Illinois guy, J Leman is not biased at all.

 

[Abro1975]

Gio on mark again !

 

[soundcrib]

GIO!!!

 

[BillyC80]

Nice throw!

 

[koleszar]

That's an ******* play by that defender

 

[RUMcMahon]

Agreed, love the toughness but don't extend to long.

 

[RUBand]

Yeah!!! Good run

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

This offense is actually looking like a legitimate offense.

 

[RU848789]

Damnit! Friggin penalty stops the TD, but what a run by Edwards.

 

[RUScrew85]

Yay Refs!

 

[rurichdog]

Uggghhh holding takes 6 off the board

 

[Abro1975]

Friggen flag everyplay @ lol

 

[koleszar]

These refs are unbelievable. That's ticky tac

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Aww man, what a nice run negated.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Not a hold

 

[BillyC80]

What hold?!

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

That was ticky tack at best.

 

[RUMcMahon]

That's a hold , cmon! BS

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

B's holding call

 

[mildone_rivals]

Terrible holding call. Terrible.

 

[Abro1975]

ticky tack on both sides , wow

 

[RC85]

These refs are unbelievable. That's ticky tac

crap call

 

[rurichdog]

We'll take that one though

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

There's the make up call for us.

 

[soundcrib]

******** call then the makeup
