I know we need Abdullah but come on. Play the starters through 3. But that's my philosophy. Pry why I don't coach college ball I suppose.

Ameer might have tweeked his knee somewhere, probably ok to have him sit because he'd just be padding his stats.

 

[TripleOption]

Yah, I'm afraid of that little limp we saw... Hopefully it's nothing serious or this season just got really scary...

 

[whateveritis1224]

Again turn around DBs

 

[Abdullah the Butcher]

54 carries for Ameer against Sparty

 

[Scratchtown]

Isn't Adam Taylor getting healthy soon....according to his timetable...

 

[whateveritis1224]

So maybe not call off the dogs? 6 plays and A double could break Helus record.

Ya. We should play him more so he gets injured worse.

Didnt look injured to me. Hard to make a case for heisman when you dont drop the hammer

His last run was more on the O-line then Ameer's ability, didn't look like he had the same type of burst.

 

[KazLong]

Real question. Assuming we win tonight.

If we lose in blow out fashion to Mich State next week. Do we abandon all hope? I know I wont. But seems next week is our acid test for how good we are.

 

[admo]

got to give him some credit. this Illinois punter refuses tailgate and smoke breaks. he is focused

The Heisman is a secondary goal.

Ill gladly trade a heisman for a conference title but damn hes just so capable of being the frontrunner

 

[Abdullah the Butcher]

The offense looks like sh#t without Ameer.

 

[Branno]

Why are the starters still in?

 

[ithinkiloverg44]

Our guys have no killer instinct. Offense has no rhythm tonight besides ameer. I just want this to end, I'm just getting angry at dumb things

 

[Thanks_Tom RR]

Protect the ball. Need safe play calls by Beck.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

That was a dangerous pass to Newby from Tommy!

 

[ithinkiloverg44]

Tommy jeez you need get.right in about 6 days man. Wow he is not good tonight
