Bowfin Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Is this really correct? A Fighting Illini blogger who knew of Westerkamp since his Illinois high school game was floored by this statistic. I was at the SAC Museum for much of the game, so I don't know how Illinois took Westerkamp out of the offense or it was something else, maybe an injury? Quote Link to comment

Almost had a big play, but it went through his hands. Most our passes were of the launch it downfield and hope for the best variety. Surprisingly didn't work with 20 mph winds 1 Quote Link to comment
Lux Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The wind was blowing ungodly sir. Quote Link to comment
RunRedRun Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The wind was blowing ungodly sir. yep, so the air it out 30+ yard passes that we kept going to was baffling! Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Illinois did a novel concept and double-teamed Westy on short pass routes. The ball that "went through his hands" was slightly overthrown. It would have been a great catch, but I guess we have seen that on a regular basis out of Westy. TA also overthrew a wide open Westy when Westy juked the CB out of his jock. It was a 40-50 yard pass, but Westy was wide open by 10 yards. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I guess the wind wasn't blowing on Illinois last drive.....or maybe we still haven't fixed that pass D. Westy wasn'targeted much and when he was he was usually double or triple covered. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The wind was blowing ungodly sir. and yet Wes Lunt complete 20% more of his passes for almost 250 yards................................... Quote Link to comment
husker07 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Armstrong left a solid 70-80 yards and 2 tds to Westerkamp on the field with shizznit throws. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 He dropped 2 he should have caught, one of which would have been a TD, and dropped another he could have caught, but would have been a spectacular play. He has a history of making circus catches, but dropping routine ones. Quote Link to comment

Bad things followed. Every team will do this the rest of the season. He did field every punt after DPE's muff too. Not easy in that wind. Quote Link to comment

Westy wasn'targeted much and when he was he was usually double or triple covered. It actually wasn't. The wind died down a ton in the last 10 minutes of the game, and they were also driving with the wind at their backs. I would know pretty well. That wind was blowing straight into my face for 4+ hours. Quote Link to comment
