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



Was any of that stuff about Shady McCoy at all true? He played college ball at Pitt and they were talking about him winning a natty with 2 losses
I thought he said Shady had an epic performance to knock a team out, so LSU got in.
 











So we ran the clock at the end of the half because potentially giving Illinois the ball with 45 seconds was too risky. But, when Illinois is down a touchdown and our defense is stopping them, we decide to chance it on a 4th and 12 fake punt?
 





I'll take it even though the result isn't what we wanted. We've bitched about this team being gutless and predictable for years and today they took a risk in a tight game. Might bite us later but it's exactly what people have claimed to have wanted to see from this coaching staff.
 

I don’t hate it.
Those were two super low probability plays in a row. 1 - Throwing way across the field to the weak side on a slow developing play. 2 - Running a fake punt where your punter needs to run like 20 yards to pick up the first.

It was an incredibly stupid sequence from PJ.
 










On the fake punt, if 25 would have looked back, he could have made a block on the Illinois pursuit guy. Play would have worked.
 


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.
 



This is the most Illinois/Minnesota game of all. It almost feels like Bielema could take his headset off and start the press conference
