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

Donate To GopherHole
Even if we lose, this Illinois team is very unimpressive. Can’t believe they’re ranked in the top 25.
 















Illinois receivers are way too good to give Altmeyer so much time to throw. Might as well bring pressure; we can’t cover their receivers.
 




This is how last year went. Illinois started bring lots of pressure towards the end of the game while we sat back on our heels.

They aren't mutually exclusive. The people who criticize the conservative play calling aren't asking for reckless decisions at weird times.

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.

No QB pressure, subpar defense schemes. They were gonna drive, it just save more time for them to try and do something.
 

Inevitable, you could see it coming. This next possession will tell us everything we need to know about today.

Yet he elected to play it safe and kick on 4th and goal from the one in the first quarter. Very strange “play to win” decision making by the head coach.
 

Right now the better QB is winning. Need max to make some plays

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.
 

Big character test coming up for the Gophs. Gotta go 1-0 in the 4th Q.
 

On the plus side, at least we don’t have to listen to Gus Johnson all game. I find the PSU-OSU game almost unwatchable with him announcing.

they’d given up 10 points all game and sacked altmeyer numerous times today. Instead you gave up a shorter field and momentum.
