Should be an easy win but a close game wouldn't surprise me.

On third and ten Lovie brings in a true freshman running quarterback and he throws a pick. Thanks Lovie.

FFS Don't punt from the 34. Every week he does this.

What a tremendous display of cowardice by Chryst. Solid coach so far, but that was reminiscent of the management before halftime against Penn St. that started the downfall.

Tiny crowd. Illinois football sucks

I just don't get these coaches who love to punt so much and think like 4th down means either punt, field goal, or run up the middle. The other team is glad you didn't go for it.

Would you be inspired by that product? What were Wisconsin's crowds like in the 80's? I'm not really old enough to remember.

Better go for it

Wow, what an awful play from Taylor on that 3rd and goal. Looked like he thought he was going to walk in the end zone. Put your head down and punch that in sir.

Finally

Yeah, with this team at times it seems so easy, it's tough. Not a lot of killer instinct. Once they threw that pitch Taylor had massive open spaces and an easy td but he hesitated.

FB's are automatic with this team on short yardage. It seriously must be about 95%. That should always be the call with 1.5 or less to go, unless we're in position to go for it on next yard, so might want to gamble for the bigger play.

Memorial Stadium used to seat about 72K, they've downsized it to about 60K

So did Jazz Peavy quit the team or what?

Sigh, just when we were building some momentum.

Telegrapher and has a girl arm. I feel bad for a stud like Cephus, but we might as well just run, run, run against teams, namely with Taylor, until they prove they can stop it.

They said he had "personal things" and was out indefinitely. I have no idea what that means.

Just hard to believe that we can't find a better QB than Hornibrook.

dogswithbeesintheirmouths · Post #20 » by **dogswithbeesintheirmouths** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:55 pm

All 3 QBs in this game putting up some Hundleyesque numbers today.
