Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

[TheChief4Life]

Okay… so… we may need to have an actual QB discussion….!!!!!

Throwing the darn ball today. Paddock really is on fire. Over 400 yards??? In the 3rd?

He's definitely throwing accurate deep balls

 

[New Creation]

When is the last time we have had a team over 30 points against a BIG team before the 4th quarter ?

 

[LoveLovie]

Indiana is having a moment where “of course their backup comes in and has a career day” We know the feeling

 

[skyIdub]

This John Paddock vibe is absolutely "it".

 

[hiberto]

wow paddock already most yards passing in a game in the BIG with 5 minutes left in 3rd

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Paddock is the better QB right now. I don't know what more evidence anyone could possibly need. Luke isn't making any of those throws. Luke isn't getting the ball out that fast. The offense is better with Paddock as our QB.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Odd Illini stat- 21 first downs, yet 0/4 on third down.

How that discussion should go....

"Luke we're going with John this week."

 

[CDRUSN]

Paddock is going to help put Williams on the draft board in the NFL. Both showing what they can do.

Last time an Illini QB had 400+ yards passing was Wes Lunt back in 2014 against Western Kentucky when Lunt had 456 yards passing.

 

[LFOD]

Bush showed up in the second half!

 

[Rusty]

18 completions to only 4 pass catchers and 1 of those are Feagin...lol

 

[eas23]

The rest of this game notwithstanding, Paddock against Iowa's defense has the potential to explode heads all across the midwest.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Seems like every time Indiana runs their chance of winning goes down

 

[TheChief4Life]

HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

 

[LFOD]

Seems like every time Indiana runs their chance of winning goes down

I’d just throw to McCulley every down.

 

[LoveLovie]

Big takeaway!!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

WE PICKED OFF A PASS!!!!!

 

[TentakilRex]

INT!

Second half adjustments?

 

[CDRUSN]

An INT by our D, or are my lyin' eyes playing tricks on me?

 

[LFOD]

Beautiful

 

[skyIdub]

Under no circumstances other than Paddock getting hit by a scooter or a piece of space debris on campus should they sit him now.
He is in a rhythm that might just save Barry Lunney Jr.'s job.

 

[Jersten]

Yeah they might want the safety to leak over to that right side a little more often.

 

[eas23]

Werner was on that. He pointed out Resetich hanging back there since the 2nd quarter.
