Srysly.

The Commentators were felating Dylan while Altmyer ran circles around him the whole game.

Sad.

Wrong

It’s 39 fucking yards. I won’t co-sign that being a bad decision. This wasn’t some 45+ - a 39 yarder should be confidently take. With a guy we were told was fighting for the lead kicking job

To be fair, fighting for the starting kicking job for us is like a couple paraplegics fighting over who’s going to be the first one to stand.

TOMMI HILL OUT BECAUSE OF PLANTAR FACIITIS?!?
I’m 36 and go on 4 mile runs with, and know that I’m going to, inflame my old ass plantar fascia

His effort from the start was shit. I'm sure that's just coach speak for they benched his ass.

 

[...TrueColors...]

“Chasing 3”

Yeah… Chasing 3 looks like giving up 60 yards on personal fouls and missing field goals in a game like the one we just watched.

Apparently we are still chasing

Where does Raiola transfer to next year?

I know this is mostly tongue in cheek but if they don’t surround him with talent this is a possibility. Coaches have a board of flight risk levels and Dylan is in the highest level for them

We got outplayed and manhandled in the 4th. Illinois was getting 5, 10, 15 yards per carry. For most of the first 3 qtrs our D couldn't stop the pass. D Line got exposed.

Our O Line shit the bed, especially in the 4th and OT. Dylan turned into the freshman that he is under the intense pressure (he's still really, really good).

Terrible special teams, no kicker yet again.

Sure, some bad calls/no calls hurt. But I'm not blaming the loss on that. Their DB made a great play to take away a TD from us. And Dylan missed that wide open pass for a sure TD before the muffed FG try. Rhule fucked up by trying for the FG instead of going for it on 4th and 2.

The curse is still alive. And we perpetuate it mostly. Shotgun is still pointed at our own feet. We shrunk when it mattered most.

Illinois is a better team, and yes, better coached. That's the final verdict at the end of the day.

 

[Ext. Frank]

I'm on board with the WRs. Zero separation on every play. Watched Dylan sit back there all night going through every read with nobody open.

Raiola throws for 24 of 35/ 300 yds/3 TDs

Neyor - 90yds/2 TDs
Banks 8 catches 94 yds

WRs weren’t horrible at all.

Sad.

Altmeyer managed a great game, mainly due to dogshit defense being completely lost out there. He made no where near the big time throws Dylan was making. Everything Altmeyer hit was wide open.

The second play of the game he was limping and I was like what the fuck is going on here. Makes more sense now

 

[David Webb]

Here is what I’m confused about. It wasn’t a catch, that was clear. But how do you then change it to an INT? You can’t see if the ball touched the ground. The ruling on the field was a touchdown, so you have to have indisputable evidence it was an INT and there wasn’t even close to enough.

Because it was obvious who came out with the ball and there was nothing to indicate it hit the ground.

 

[22*43*51]

Our OL is a shitshow. Understandable that they weren't confident in their ability to run in OT

They are what they have been.

The first B1G game is the difference.

Buckle up.

 

[Ext. Frank]

Spare me with the “we need to be better” and “it’s on us” comments in the post game

 

[COYS]

Raiola throws for 24 of 35/ 300 yds/3 TDs

Neyor - 90yds/2 TDs
Banks 8 catches 94 yds

WRs weren’t horrible at all.

They weren’t horrible, but allowing the Illinois DB to rip a TD from you with one hand is atrocious.

 

[BusterScruggs]

Imagine how bad that game would have been if we had to be stubborn by necessity with an unsuccessful run game because we had haarberg back there.

 

[22*43*51]

Wrong

Please quote QB stats.

Banks was great, and aside from Neyor getting bitched in the end zone on the int he was good too.

I'm on board with the WRs. Zero separation on every play. Watched Dylan sit back there all night going through every read with nobody open.

Dowdell: 3.6 YPC on 20 carries is not going to get anyone to sell out to stop the run. Next to no push from the O line all night

 

[skersker]

Fucking hell. That's six weeks at least if true.

What? Lol. Basketball players play with this daily.

That shit no doubt hurts, but it actually doesn’t hurt once you warm up and get going. It’s when you stop playing and sit down it starts to fucking hurt

 

[Ext. Frank]

They weren’t horrible, but allowing the Illinois DB to rip a TD from you with one hand is atrocious.

The only side of the ball that needs to be discussed is defense. In fairness special teams can be in the conversations

 

[22*43*51]

Altmeyer managed a great game, mainly due to dogshit defense being completely lost out there. He made no where near the big time throws Dylan was making. Everything Altmeyer hit was wide open.

So he made better decisions.

Got it.
