FIRST HALF GAME THREAD

Well, that was weird play calling by Illinois, but I'll take it. Illinois looks listless.
 
If we can fix our pass defense even a little bit, we're gonna real respectable. Run defense is good.
 
Horrible game environment.... Painful to watch and listen to.. Hopefully play is alot better but that first series.....
 
Collins has been having his way so far, when we don't stunt. Also strange to see Freedom on the sideline on 3rd and long.
 
Chuck Long pointed out just what we have seen all year. Newby takes a ten yard option pitch and reduces it to six yards.
 
With this staff, we will throw on any 3rd down no matter the distance. Third and short is not a good down for this OL.
 
Really have no idea what the coaches are seeing with the RB rotation.

Except Long didn't say anything about Newby making that run shorter. He talked about the closing speed of the defender. Newby ran straight ahead on that pitch, which has been his problem. I will say on the 2nd down run he stuttered instead of just going.
