PB and Pretzels!!

Great drive! Pat is a dawg!

That's a way to kick off a half. Now shut them down on defense, go back down and hang another touchdown on them and they'll start to break

 

[pruman91]

that's what I was talking about .............75 yards in 4 plays..............TD ILLINI !!!!!!!!!!!!!

20-7 ILLINI...............

Now see how effective that drive was with Luke releasing the pass much quicker.

Lunney discovers the passing game

Altmyer dropped back to pass 20 times in the first half.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

4 plays and into the endzone...

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Lunney discovers the passing game

He discovered the QUICK passing game. The ball was out of Altmyer's hand and into the playmaker's hands with slants, short posts, etc. It's also a way to protect your offensive linemen. Good adjustment.

 

[BWBW]

They must have taken the halftime "encouragement" to heart.

Now let's get a pick.

 

[GMAN55]

If were giving up sacks and TFLs to MAC team , it will be rough sledding against big ten teams unless Illini figure out how to stop them.

 

[Jimbo]

My awful hot take is Feagin is a better blocker than a runner. Young man has all the physical gifts but I don't know seems to lose his feet easily with the ball in hand.

He’s a little slow turning it up field. I think he’s best up the middle but i’m not sure we have OL for that.

 

[TentakilRex]

Heard that you can tell if a P4 v G5 game can be an upset by the first drives of the second half, so far

 

[FloridaMan]

Just poor tackling there

 

[skyIdub]

Running game shmumming game.

Wtf do I know.

 

[ChiefGritty]

That's a loaf Zachary Tobe, come on

EDIT: Torrie Cox, excuse me

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Dennis Briggs sack...

 

[BDMAN]

Not sure what kind of coverage Cox was in maybe time for Brooks

 

[New Creation]

Looks like we came out to play this half.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Glad the right team came out of the locker room.

 

[FloridaMan]

Just looks so much better when you get pressure

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

first time seeing brooks today...looks like they put him in for Cox after that play...

terrific stop there by the D...

 

[ChiefGritty]

CMU's punter is good

 

[BWBW]

Nice pressure

Now see how effective that drive was with Luke releasing the pass much quicker.

Chicken and egg how I see it. I do not think Luke is audibling to the hot route, I think Lunney is sending in the pay with the hot route as 1st read in the progression. Lunney needs to call more plays like that as Luke is elite at throwing quick slants. I think Luke's problem at times is waiting too long on his progressions waiting for his 1st or 2nd route to get open.
