Will the players be able to recover from their meeting with the bus, and win one for Art ?
11am. Today.

Tempo, sorry I didn't remind you about today's game.

Who has the gambling lines on this one?

Actually, I might tune in some today. Is it an early game?

Rutgers huh, exciting…

You have to know about it in order to ignore it. If you didn't know about it, you would not be ignoring it when not watching.

Jesus, that crowd is pathetic.

Exactly, that’s why I need you to keep me informed.

Ball is out. And we have to call a to for a review.

That ball is clearly out.
-
In real time it did look like he hit the ground first.
-
You cannot be serious.
-
That’s a bullshit call. That ball was out!
-
At least no damage done on that terrible call. Defense held and now we got the ball.

Oh no doubt. Just stating our D stepped up even when we got screwed.
Side note- Peters is just fucking terrible

I know what you were saying. No points damage but it flipped the field.
I hope they have worked on Juice2 in the wildcat with 9 offensive linemen during the week.

If I was Bielema, I wouldn’t throw a single pass today and do what you just said.

Navy won at Tulsa last night without completing a pass. 0-3 passing.
-
Seriously, it’s like Peters hesitates so much before throwing the ball. It’s like he has PTSD or something from so many concussions and hits. Like he can’t process information on the coverage.
-
17 yards of offense in the 1st quarter.
96 for Rutgers.
-
Get close to fg range and the red zone, and put the play on Peters arm. I don't understand.

I really am concerned about Peters health. I seriously think he has some sort of mental problem processing information. Concussions might have really messed him up. He’s so hesitant and it’s so apparent.
-
Nice pass and nice catch. No hesitation and threw. His best passing is down the middle.

He didn’t think too much and that was nice. Glad we got Williams the ball. He’s so damn dynamic. If he was on O$U, he’d be electric.

Wow, wide open TE across the middle on 3rd down. Wtf

That's the play we should do with Barker a few times a game. He's our best receiver other than Williams.

Agreed.
Side note- it’s nice actually talking about sports on a sports message board.
-
Peters must have read your post from a bit ago. Lol.
-
Oh geez. I was going to say Barker can turn a 7-10 yard pass into 30 yards with yards after catch.
-
Peters must have read your post from a bit ago. Lol.
Good. Fuck him!! 😂

Chase Brown gon play on Sundays

Quit being a homer. This team sucks! There’s no good things to say or hope here.😁

200 yards offense in the 2nd quarter.

We need to hold the ball for a bit here. Let the defense rest.

Spann might be fast but he doesn’t see the field for shit

Are you referring to Sandy ?
He's #11.

Yeah you’re right. 🤦🏻
I can’t see the field for shit either apparently.

A game of quarters. We need the 4th.

Big 4th down conversion for Rutgers. Damn
-
Fuck!
-
That hold the ball for a bit to let the defense rest idea didn't materialize. Lol.
-
3rd and 18 and throw a two-yard pass to Brown?! Wtf was that?!
-
And a face mask penalty on the play before for the first down. So Illinois
-
I think we had 2 penalties before the last 2 series. Penalty on 1st down last series and penalty on a play that picked up the 1st down this past series.
Hopefully 2 penalties don't put an end to a chance to go to a bowl.
Why did we completely abandon the barge for this game ?
-
Need a 99 yard drive for the win lol.
Illinois fans- we have the best punter in the country.
Rutgers punter- hold my beer.
-
Must be a pretty decent wind going against us.
How did we win the toss, defer, and end up going into this wind in the 4th quarter ?
-
Need a touchdown on this drive. Let’s go
-
This is the play where everybody else has players push the ball carrier forward
-
Terrible call on 4th down.
-
Damn it, this team was so close to 7-5 bowling.
-
We'll fool them. We'll out think em.
-
Just terrible.
-
Jfc. Put McCray, Brown and Barkley behind Peters to push him for a yard on a 4th down sneak.

No shit. Even the play Rutgers just ran to seal the game would’ve been better than that shit.
-
78-49 in plays.
-
Extremely disappointing, but that’s what to expect from Illinois football. Bielema has a huge task in front of him. Hopefully he can do what only a couple have ever done here.
-
Looks like we got Bert today instead of Bret. Tempo, yet again, AOTC. Pathetic losing to Rutger.
-
Petersen is from the Matt Nagy school of play calling. As in, he sucks.
-

We're special. Short bus special.
-
Other than a quarter today, we haven't seen a qb on the roster all season. Petersen keeps trying to put the ball in the hands of the qb. Running his offense comes across as his priority.

I agree. Just line 9 linemen up and run. Realize there’s not a QB we have on the roster right now worth a shit and run. Mix the occasional play-action pass in and that’s it. Not any more or any less.
-
Super disappointing loss. There’s zero excuse for not lining up for a QB sneak with the backs pushing.
-
Peters' numbers were not bad and Illinois still loses.
-
Meanwhile Mel Tucker walks and in and completely overhauls his roster and Bert can only whine about his 2 Deep....

Stfu. Petersen will be thinking the qb had his best game and we almost won. Maybe I should put the ball in the hands of the qb more and maybe we win. Lol.

Mel Tucker really has turned Michigan State around in a very short time. Wow

JFC Tucker took over what’s been a really solid program and is in his second year. Bielema hasn’t even had a chance to overhaul the roster. That being said, Illinois is definitely not going to anywhere near 8-0 in the foreseeable future.

Tucker used the transfer portal to overhaul the team because he knew it was not good.
Meanwhile, Bert shows up and is left whining about his 2 deep.

What did they call? What was the down and situation?

Fourth and half a yard. Lined up and faked a run up the middle and then tossed to Brown on a sweep. Had one guy in the open field to beat and he probably would have taken it to the house but the defender made a helluva shoe string tackle.

Ok so you realize that Tucker took basically the entire roster he inherited into the 2020 season, went 2-5, THEN cleaned house and brought in 20 transfers.
Bert came in and decided to keep the veterans, culled some of the guys from the last couple classes that weren’t going to cut it in this scheme. (They all transferred to low level schools, BTW) and brought in a few transfers.
In the 34 minute interview that Tempo doesn’t have time to watch, he discusses the evaluation process and how they’re going to clean house and rebuild the roster. Which is where the whole 2 deep comment came from. It wasn’t whining, it was recognizing a problem he has to fix.
So in the end Tempo and you are mad at him for laying out the plans to do exactly what you’re praising Tucker for.

Ooofff…
-
Brown just sat there shaking his head. Couldn’t believe it. He tried to beat him to the outside and got tripped up. If he’d have juked/cut it inside he probably goes to the house untouched.
-
“Whining” wasn’t the point. It’s that you don’t speak poorly of your players to the media; comparing them to a race horse without pedigree. Maybe I overreacted a bit in calling him “trash,” but for the life of me, I can’t see how calling him out on that is out of line or controversial.

Looks like Tucker followed 14 years of Dantonio with probably some semblance of year in and year out roster construction. Looks like 27 players transferred out which leaves a lot of bodies to replace.
Since the Zooker, we've had Beckman, Cubit and Lovie. Bielema gave the players the option to stay, and a half dozen or so transferred out. Bielema should have plenty of roster spots to fill after this year. I assume he will be active in the transfer portal in his 2nd year, as was Tucker.

The db stayed home and made a good play. Running an isolation 1 on 1 play on a down that means staying alive for a bowl game chance was too much thinking, imo.
Bottom line is they never should have let Lovie in the locker room at halftime.

Just line up and show if you’re man enough to win. No trickery, just bulldoze the shit out of them
-
Does Samari Collier get some snaps now ?
At the gofs for his first action would be a better choice than at xxxx.
-
I don't know how you don't pound that straight up the middle. A touchdown loses the game so at the time out you know they stressed staying home and watching for play action. No one will ever fault a call if the line can't get a half yard.

The old Lollinois school of thought. Well that worked, no reason trying it again.

The whole country pushes the ball carrier forward for more yardage.
Not us.
We've done it a couple of times this year. It's just not in the play book.

Couldn’t find a video of the 4th down play. Anyone have one?

One would think his watching any tape from the last couple of years would have caused him to reach the conclusion he discussed last week.

You’re a gentleman and a scholar, Calvin.

Looks like that play would have been close just to get the first down even without the shoestring tackle. One defender had a workable angle on him to the sideline, and another guy was coming straight at him.

Yeah, that play looked doomed. If he cuts in, there's another defender there.
Great tackle.
