That’s why it’s sometimes prudent to run the ball on 3rd and long, punt, and play field position.

Just handing Illinois the win. 

 

[El Straino]

Ready for the chubba hubba bubba show?

 

[HuskerInLostWages]

Momentum....gone.

Welp. Whatever may have been wrong with Thompson's hand is definitely wrong now.

That slo mo he looked like he was in a lot of pain.

casey thompson is trash

Hows that on him?

 

[chamrocck]

Our OL sucks. AM and CT are not elite QBs but both are pretty darn good. Look at what a difference an OL makes. 

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

TBH, I'd use Logan

wouldn't mind seeing him

 

[DefenderAO]

Our lines are so bad.  We get absolutely blown off the ball.

 

[Stumpy1]

Not sure how we get beat on the line with our vaunted S&C program.

Whipple suuuuuuuucks

Illinois hasn't planned one day for the option or a mobile NU QB.  That'll be the difference is he comes in.  Iowa was able to adjust after the half.  Illinois won't have that luxury

 

[lo country]

Boom. Whip reading the board. Hahaha

This has been our downfall. Can’t protect our QB and can’t get to the opponent QB.
