Hell of a game on national television

Pretty fitting that this game goes to overtime.

 

[madillini4]

we have no WR's that can get open

Pat Bryant was literally wide open, what are you talking about?

Not loving OT on the road but nothing to lose here

 

[derrick6]

Wasted opportunity. Anytime Altmeyer scrambles he becomes blind

 

[illinidarrin]

We had our chance and we blew it. I'm not expecting much in OT

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Big Ten Instant Classic!!

 

[SuperMetroid]

Man coulda won this in regulation. Sigh.

Alright let’s do this!

 

[CDRUSN]

Good to see Illinois cover in one of the toughest places to beat a good team in the B10, I'm greedy, I want the win.

Wasted opportunity. Anytime Altmeyer scrambles he becomes blind

I felt Altmyer scrambled there a little too quickly. I think he had more time.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Is there a statistical advantage to the home team in overtime?

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Nobody gave us a chance here, we’re into OT. I’d love a win, but regardless, we’re making HUGE strides as a program.

 

[Scoregasm]

We have a better kicker than them.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

No matter how this game ends, I feel confident we're getting to 6 wins this season. Inarguably, we are a competent football team and as an Illini football fan, I'll take it.

 

[JJE]

Win or lose this game it’s clear to me we are a good football team.

 

[PopChampaign]

Respect to both teams, evenly matched

 

[BWBW]

Let's get the win, guys.

 

[Illini IndyCar Fan]

OMG

 

[superfan]

Best game all year of any team

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

I would've ran it on a draw, called t.o with 10 seconds left regardless of what happens. Then one play to get in range and call another t.o. This way, even if you don't get it they have no time.

 

[DeeAndDWill]

Let’s not settle for a moral victory

 

[Illinifan533]

The Bielema era is going to be defined by constant high heart rates.

 

[skyIdub]

That was a great main course.


Now I want dessert.

Just a little too Lovie in that last drive. We’ve still earned this one, so I’m drinking to the football gods here.
