teachercd Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 What 3 things would you like to see during the game Saturday? For me... 1. 12 completions to at least 3 different WR's 2. 3 sacks by the defense 3. One non-offensive score 5 1 Quote Link to comment

One non-offensive score 36 completions would be a hell of a game by Adrian, and 12 catches by 3 different receivers would be awesome. EDIT: single game record for most catches is 14; let's rewrite the record books! 5 Quote Link to comment

I think he's saying 12 completions to the WR group, spread across at least 3 WR's. Quote Link to comment
TheMeanFarmer Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Illinois 3rd down conversions under 50%. 2 NU TDs for every 1 FG attempt. Open receivers with some YAC. NU OL push. Win on 3rd/4th and 1...everytime. 3 Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Four quarters of competitive football. If I can pick only one quarter: the fourth. More than zero quarterback hurries and sacks. Running backs by committee average 5+ yards a carry, but one RB already looks ready to separate from the pack. Energy on the sidelines. 2 Quote Link to comment

They are presumably turning their DEs into OLBs, and it would be pretty negligent to not test their ability to cover ground laterally. Also pretty fair to assume they will load the box and make us prove we're willing to throw to unproven WRs. So I expect many of our plays that depend on a certain number of defenders in the box will take the wide option which is frequently a swing or bubble. For me: 1) No big plays (20+ yard runs, 40+ yard passes) allowed on D 2) A consistent ground game 3) Winning the TO battle 5 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Many sustained offensive drives. Some 3 & outs on D. A sack or 2 and some hurries. Some chunk plays 20-30+, throwing and rushing. Some line dominance, both lines. To not have to yell WTF? at my TV more than maybe once. 2 Quote Link to comment
