***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS BOUNCE-BACK IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[stocker08]

Refs are letting Illinois get away with some clear holding.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Nice hold there

 

[GophersInIowa]

Pass rush is poor

Can’t even get to him when blitzing.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Lot of missed holding today.

 

[GringaGopher]

Pass rush is really a problem.

Devito has all day to throw.

 

[rivergopher]

Just zero pass rush

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Can’t even get to him when blitzing.

The blitzer on that pass didn't even get to the line until 3 seconds after the snap. Pathetic.

 

[scools12]

Sent Nubin on that play but Illinois picked it up.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Nubin was held there

 

[stocker08]

And Joyner was held on that one too. SO MUCH HOLDING.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Devito has all the time in the world.

Yep. Comparing the QB stats is crazy. Tells the story of the game.

 

[howeda7]

Again, decline it....

 

[BTChamp]

That's what she said.

Waiting for that one. Nice play.

 

[howeda7]

Some dumb coaching today.

 

[rivergopher]

We are going to have two holds next drive.

 

[Some guy]

Again, decline it....

Disagree
If you give up less than 10 on the next play it’s a win

 

[From the Parkinglot]

This lack of a pass rush is not exactly a new thing. They rush 4 maybe 5 people and almost never blitz. The whole goal is to give up short plays and make you run 12 plays to score as opposed to giving up a big play and a score in 5 plays. Let the offense try to self implode vs. the defense making amazing plays.

 

[HitMeAgainIAmStillMoving]

cannot stop a nose bleed

 

[rivergopher]

Just gross how bad our d line is getting dominated

 

[Pompous Elitist]

And Joyner was held on that one too. SO MUCH HOLDING.

“Letting them play”

Can they publish the rules before the game, at least.

 

[kg21]

1st and 20 and 2nd and 19

Qb almost at 100%

Good gawd

 

[rivergopher]

Can we stop 1 4th down please

 

[UpAndUnder43]

10 yard cushion 4th and 5

 

[howeda7]

Disagree

Well they did. And it's two chances for you to commit a penalty etc. Take the 3rd and 10.

 

[rowdaboat]

Might as well go for every 4th if we keep playing unpressed man

 

[gopherguy06]

3 for 3 on fourth downs. No pressure and easy throw and catch on the quick plays.

 

[USAF]

pathetic

 

[cncmin]

didn’t figure the D would be the one losing the game for us.

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

This is a long drive. It feels like we should be down by more than 3.

 

[Some guy]

Well they did. And it's two chances for you to commit a penalty etc. Take the 3rd and 10.

I mean if you plan on giving up 14 on second down it doesn’t really matter which one you do
