Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[aaeismacgychel]

Huge stop. Does PSU actually go for this? No way

 

[LFOD]

Does Todd Blackledge get the grief from Penn State fans as Steve Bardo from Illini fans?

Blackledge a lot of nice comments so far and like the tip to the '94 team that had Penn State down 21-0 but couldn't hold on in one of the best games I've ever been to at Memorial Stadium.

I was at that game.

They are going to go for it I’d guess.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Maybe they’ll go for it here, could be a huge momentum changer.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

4th and 1 here...

run defense has been an issue thus far...

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That was a fortunate spot for illinois

He definitely was short, but it could have been a little closer for sure

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Huge stop. Does PSU actually go for this? No way

Why not? They are running at will.

 

[Illini-Rule]

They will go for it. Why wouldn't they?

 

[PasadenaIllini]

They are going to go for it I’d guess.

I would if I were them. They are pushing us around pretty good up front.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

What is this announcer saying? He was pushed out, took a step and came back in. Is he blind?

Is he the same guy who was wishy-washy last week on whether the clear end zone interception should be overturned?

 

[WeWillWhen]

Let’s see if Franklin goes for it here.

 

[Ryllini]

This could be a long night.

 

[CaptainCrutch]

I’d be shocked if they don’t go for it here. Huge stop if we can get it

 

[UCantHideYer]

Coaching tip PSU, better punt it away

 

[IlliniReb]

Easy decision to go for it, unfortunately

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Why not? They are running at will.

They actually get stoned and give up the ball at their own 40? That's a tough call for a coach to make. If it was our 40, sure, but their own 40?

 

[logjam]

It's huge result either way big play....

 

[TheodoreRex]

I'm definitely going for it if I'm them. We literally can't stop them running. I'd just run down our throats every play if I were PSU.

 

[New Creation]

Do they play fake the run up the gut and go for a bomb over the middle here??

 

[TheChief4Life]

My fear is a pss we aren’t expecting for a TD

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Do they play fake the run up the gut and go for a bomb over the middle here??

Not a chance. No need for them to get cute when they are dominating the line.

 

[superfan]

I was at that game.

Same. Drove 12 hours back from Virginia overnight, no sleep. Would have been a giant win. That was a heck of a game.

 

[RML]

Gift for us!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Thank you for punting!
