What kind of moron would sit Betts & Nixon for 3 slow walk-ons. JFC. This kind of stuff has been really concerning, agreed. I know Scott has been vocal about his "if you don't block, you don't get the rock" policy. So I don't know if the deal is that they're not doing as much in practice with run blocking or what. But I agree. 1 Quote Link to comment
Caliborn72 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Gotta be referencing Betts and Nixon right? 1 Quote Link to comment

Decked Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Oliver Martin should be the starting punt returner from now on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

How can you lose half of your offensive game plan when the opposing defense shows up in a formation your game plan is obliged to consider? And isn't a dual threat quarterback and Scott Frosts offensive philosophy all about making the defense uncomfortable? One of the worst defenses in the Big 10? Apparently one coach is playing chess while the other is playing Chutes & Ladders. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

This is seriously hilarious because it actually lines up with this satire website that somebody had gotten going prior to the game itself.

It wasn't the best throw but damn it hit both his hands. In the receiver coaching handbook it says "if you get your hands on it, it should be a catch". Quote Link to comment

At least the river doesn't start on fire anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment
MyBloodIsRed16 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 did the O-line cut at all during the game? I noticed Illinois started cutting quite a bit after the first couple of sacks. Does wonders to slow down the rush. Wonder why we don't do it. 1 Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 So Betts doesn’t practice well and his half of the playbook was cut because Illinois had an extra lineman? Quote Link to comment
