How did IU beat Illinois?
- Thread starter BSIT
- Start date
Two awful calls, including the worst replay review I’ve ever seen, gifted IU 7 points. And they won by 3.
that's what happens when Bret gets on it.
Obviously there's still a lot of games left - that loss in Bloomington could end up really helping the Boilers......we shall see.
The Canon Trophy game is looking bigger and bigger for now.

Question is how has IU beaten any team this year
Rocky Top hanging with the Tide. This guy made it happen. Maybe we can get him to Ross Ade.
vol_scott has to be loving it - crazy game with 98 total points, tied @ 49 with three minutes left.
Tennessee played well in general...'Bama had chances to put the game away, BUT, the officials absolutely played a role in that outcome....there was a blatant targeting call missed live and somehow even bypassed on review, and, the PI that happened late and led to a Vols TD was pretty bad as well.
Not even comparable to the Indy Star's article proclaiming that their "Bowl hopes" were hurt by the loss...what garbage.
Alabama was gifted a TD on a bogus PI call in the end zone, definitely bad calls both ways.
Yeah, even if it was incidental the guy should have been ejected for stupidity. He had no shot at punching the football out from that angle. I understand it is a play that has become common, but guys should be penalized if they miss the football and knock out an opposing player with a blow to the head.
I saw that numerous times where the tv cameras zoomed in on this. WTF?
It said they are trying to power IU to a victory. If that is true, they are going to have some people with cardiac arrests, because that is not happening anymore this year.
I bet the local McDonald’s and Burger Kings in that area were backed up at the drive thrus with these guys missing their shifts.

And you forgot to mention the missed IU FG which was counted as good.
I believe it is commonly referred to as the "Bright Light Syndrome". The bright lights need to be turned on #700! We need some tee shirts at the bucket to celebrate our rival's historical accomplishment.
