Illini vs PURDUE Game thread

when, on 4th down?

I might be in the minority here, but I would have gone for it even backed up around our own 35. I felt like Downing had shown enough in the first half that I would have trusted him to pick up a yard.

Just my $.02. We obviously punted and the defense slammed the door.

 

[Purdue85]

LOL, yeah, ideally before 4th down...

eh?

that would have been a serious mismanagement of timeouts, with as much time remained on the clock!

Did you not see Purdue take a timeout after the kickoff on 1st down (Purdue just received the ball)? What am I missing here?

Throwing out some second half optimism. I’m going guess final score after this first half. 23-13 (Purdue). Let’s get it boys.

Yea, no guts no glory

that was the plan. Bielema called timeout as we were snapping the ball. It sounds like that changed the plans.

are you not listening to the radio broadcast?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

On the bright side.....no penalties or turnovers from the Boilers.

 

[BSIT]

Holding!!!!!!

 

[DAG10]

Karlaftis was held by 3 guys and nobody in stripes happened to notice or see it?

They're just going to keep doing it until it gets called, and with these officials, it won't happen unless there's a take-down, and even then I'm not confident.

well at least they try a trick play.

 

[BSIT]

Petered out

 

[DAG10]

Imagine that...a trick play...that was WIDE open...from the guy that is generally "not aggressive"...followed by a throw DOWN THE FIELD.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

That's such WEAK sauce.....goodness.

 

[DAG10]

I get the hold down the field on the DB that was run by, but, what about the hold on the OL who was run by as well that was ignored again by the officials?

 

[purduepat1969]

I'm watching it on TV...

There was a timeout taken after the kickofff on first down. Again, not sure what you're hearing or seeing...

 

[BSIT]

Setting up to be another classic loss. We should be up by at least 14

 

[decontain]

PI gamble works both ways, imagine if we threw it 40 yards downfield and gave our receivers opps to sell that same play lol. Bad call, though, nothing intentional there. Fringe at best.

Correct. I'm saying I still would have gone for it. I don't know... nobody pays me to coach. Brohm must have seen something he didn't like.

Purdue has had really bad 3rd quarters this year. Break that trend.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

6-6 slugfest in West Lafayette.

Thought it was in their favor last week, but, I could be completely wrong admittedly...

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Meanwhile, 5th-ranked Iowa is down 14-7 @ home to Colorado State in the 3rd Q....wow.

Sure not looking like we will. Hopefully AOC comes in and we get a TD drive.

Big Ten doesn't look so hot this year...

In all seriousness...if that holds up...with the Wisconsin debacle today, and, Minnesota losing at home...B1G will have some big time perception issues, and, it is genuinely wide open on the West side of things seemingly

help me out here. what complaint are you fishing for? What grave screw up do you think occurred? We didn't need the timeouts, there was no problem not using them. We have some areas we need significant improvement, but we don't need to go this far searching for something to complain about.

 

[DAG10]

Hard to understand this decision...

 

[purduepat1969]

Plummer on the field...ugh...

 

[gbl97]

Gotta be kidding me

 

[boilermaker75]

WTF? Brohm doesn't know what he is doing.

 

[boilermaker75]

3 and out, way to go Brohm. Terrible throw on 3rd down.

 

[PaBoiler78]

B1G football at its finest...

we deserve to lose this game.

 

[DAG10]

Genius...let's throw to the guy that can't catch on a critical 3rd down

I'm not "searching" for something to complain about. I made a statement it would have been nice to keep it for a 2 minute offense ideally. You kept saying it was 4th down. It wasn't. Not sure what your issue is here.

I hear you, although I still think TMHR is the best team in the West.....would possibly damage the conference's chances for the playoff.

Hawkeyes just scored, so now.....there can be peace.

This is on Brohm for not making the switch
