So far this game has the look of the one team off a big road win, favorite on the road in their next game and ends up coming out flat.
The home team coming off a bye after a blow out loss in their last game.
Sets up for a nice situational spot for the home dog.
I have no issue with someone liking the decision but someone saying I would have thought it was a brilliant call if they made the 1st down is stupid.
4&12 up by 6 at that point of the game no need for that call and give Illinois a short field goal.
There was no need to “play to win” at the moment of the game and running a fake punt on 4 & 12.
Followed that up by going with zero pressure and giving up a 3 & 11.
Horrible play calling all around.
Fake punt was a horrible decision.
Make them drive the whole field to take the lead instead of half the field.
Fleck got exactly what he deserved based on that decision.
