Illinois 50, Purdue 49 OT Postgame
Awful coaching there.If we just took the extra point we never would have needed overtime. But I'll take it.
Not to mention the front 7 of our ‘hands’ kickoff return team. You knew it was coming!
We seem to make adjustments that hurt us at the half.
Or we could be such great game planners that we fool everyone in the first half and they figure us out in the second half.
Naw…I think this game will save his job.

We are definitely not a top 25 team.
I think so too. They had us by the balls and we somehow miraculously came away with the W, undeservedly so
This was a troubling victory. Have the same feeling when the Cubs blew a big lead in the WS.
Walters is a winner, his offense play calling gave our DC issues. He is welcomed back if the time ever comes IMHO.
We are 5-1 that is unexpected and awesome. Need to win the ones we are expected to and not play with our food.
Altmeyer is statistically one of the best QBs we ever had. His QB rating, completion rate and yards/catch is top 1-3.

Not attacking the ball as it rolled by them is violating rule #1 of that situation. Horrible.

Purdue is one basketball coach away from Top 5 Most Hated B1G Teams.
And we probably won’t be anymore for the rest of the season.
NO it probably shouldn't... but this is 2024 and everyone's attention span is about 3 seconds ... IF THAT....
Yeah my wife showed me Robert’s post in real time. I meant to post this in the game thread then but every time I started to, Purdue scored again.
Meh, the way they were running on us, I thought it was a smart, ballsy call. Sort of a "Finish them!" gesture. I thought it was game over for us.
I'm pretty sure there's no chance of that happening. He's burned wayyyy too many bridges here.
The 4-1 start and first half of this game made us too big for our britches, not unlike the fast start in 2022. Maybe best to have a too close wake up call without losing and get our heads on straight for the last half of the season.
The worst win of the Bielema era. The key word though is “win”.
