***OFFICIAL ILLINOIS AT MINNESOTA HOMECOMING IN-GAME THREAD!!!!***

[Hollinsanity]

Few quick thoughts on the last few drives:

1) Croft should've juked inside against the LB on 3rd down, he probably would've fallen forward for the 1st down even if he was tackled before the marker.

2) Awesome stunt by Carter Coughlin on the 2nd and 1 sack. Not sure about his run defense but he sure can rush the passer.

3) Ball bounced at the 12 on that punt. A fair catch there by Hmielweski would've been nice.

Wow, Croft has to make that first down with his legs. That wasn't a great effort...

He looked really tentative and went down without making a move. Crap! Fumble....

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Oh, bleep. Good play by the defense. Can the Gophs hold them to a field goal?

 

[GringaGopher]

That was too easy....

 

[joshvanklomp]

welp

 

[Section 100]

Run to the right.

Gonna be a close one today, first B1G Gopher game I’ve watched on TV this year.

Just giving away points.

 

[MGGopher]

Yikes. QB change, 2 quick runs for chunk yards. Wonder if our D gameplanned for him at all and has something ready? That was way too easy.

IL is young.

Run to the right.

It's been a disturbing trend.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Smith could go for 200 today if they stay with the run.

Only 9 seniors. Man, what happened to all of them?

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Not a great start to the game by Croft. How much rope does Fleck give him?

Not a good start. PJ has to give him the game tho. IMO.

That was kind of a Frank Burns throw.

Agreed

 

[Hollinsanity]

I'm here for the melt down. Where should I check in? Are there name tags?

 

[Spoofin]

Does Thomas playing at QB tip the talent scales to IL?

Team puts in the back-up and he torches us. Happens every time.

Yep, have to give him the entire game.

 

[joshvanklomp]

That injury didn't look good

 

[Word]

wow we look bad

 

[Section 100]

wow we look bad

But we're young.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

This is going to be tricky for the defensive coaches to get the right personnel on the field depending on which Illinois QB is in the game.

 

[BadassMotherFlecker]

We looked like we’d blow them out the first drive. Crap fest since

The sad part is Mason could come down out of the booth and still win this game by 20.

 

[cncmin]

Wow, that fumble was such a game-changing moment. We had all the momentum prior to that, and now are just sapped on both sides of the ball.

The backup QB comes in and torches us. Different season, same ol' ****.

 

[Hollinsanity]

But we're young.

So is Illinois...

If they sub, we get a chance to sub. Should be easy to react as long as we react quickly.
