College Football - Week of 10/6

[snoodmonger]

KU drops an easy TD, kicks the FG. Up by 6 with 2:30.

 

I just don't see any way we win this game.

[Keener98]

TD Wisconsin with 1 30 left they are down 5. Come on just get the onside kick back IL please

[Jon]

3:06 left and Michigan State burns their final timeout before the FG attempt. Stupid.

 

And they can't even get the FG off. Pathetic. Way to blow this.

[Keener98]

Ball State getting killed by Central Mich

[Keener98]

The announcers saying they can kick it deep with 1 30 left? The way IL has manhandled that Dline, I dont see how you can give IL the ball back. If Im Wisc I onside it

[Keener98]

IL recovers the onside kick!

[Jon]

Phew. NU will get the ball back with less than 2 minutes left.

[snoodmonger]

KU INT!!!!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Wow, KU is gonna hang on and win. That's huge.

[Keener98]

3rd and 5 with 1 15 to go. Come on IL

[Jon]

1:42 left, 1 timeout, need a FG to win it. Northwestern starts at the 18.

[jaydee]

go for it illini

[Jon]

OMAR CONTEH INSIDE THE 30!!!

[Keener98]

McGee with the QB keeper but hes short of the 1st down by less than a yard. GO FOR IT! Just give it to Mendenhall.

[Jon]

It looks like they're playing for the FG. MSU's wasteful timeouts for no reason look huge now.

[Keener98]

Why do you sneak it Zook? You have a RB whos averaging almost 9 yards per carry wtf.

[Jon]

NU setting it up for the FG. They had 2 timeouts, so they'll center the ball here and run the clock down on 3rd and short.

[Keener98]

ILLIOIS 1st down!!!! ILLINOIS WINS!!!!!!!!!

[Keener98]

ILL-

[Jon]

They decide to actually run it and pick up the first. They'll run the clock down and set up a potential game-winning FG with 3 seconds left.

[snoodmonger]

Wow, KU is gonna hang on and win. That's huge.

 

I really think this team is pretty good. Some questionable coaching calls made this game closer than it should have.

 

I am worried about the pass D. Chase Daniel is gonna light us up.

[Jon]

I can't even believe it. How the hell do you push it wide left for your first miss of the season....

 

devastating

[Keener98]

Zook getting teary eyed while doing his interview.

[CubColtPacer]

Why do you sneak it Zook? You have a RB whos averaging almost 9 yards per carry wtf.

 

That RB is a lot better in a spread it out speed offense (the usual look for Illinois). He's not a huge bruiser.

 

Besides, when you need less than a yard and you have a good runner at QB, you don't want to have to hand the ball off 5 yards in the backfield. There's simply too much time for possible penetration by the defense.

[Keener98]

Mendenhall with nearly 200 yards of total offense, 19 carries 160 yards for a 8.4 average
