Rooting for Baylor to finally end the Mountaineers cakewalk. Illinois to go 3-2, and Minnesota and Northwestern to make it 5-0. Please don't suddenly start playing your hearts out Iowa and Indiana.

So much for Illinois and Minnesota, it's the curse of the stupid looking matte finish helmets. Iowa just pisses me off every year. Where was this team against Central and Iowa State? Seems like every year they play like garbage out of conference then step it up and play their hearts out and upset someone.

How did the one Minnesota guy
How did the one Minnesota guy not get the memo to get away from the ball? And how did the refs miss that touch? I think he was pushed into the ball so it doesn't matter, but come on.
And now they change what the ruling on the field was after the review? LOL WUT

Illinois' Fast Offense...

If we gameplan correctly, unlike last year, Iowa should no be a problem. This is more of Minn getting exposed because of mediocre competition and a lack of Marquis Grey. I'm still more worried about Minn this year.
No they aren't.
Any team

Any team looks like trouble when they play Minnesota.
Go Blue! Always!
McGloin, McGloin...
As they are mentioning, he is supposedly getting better managing the Penn State offense, but it is very hard to manage an offense while running 20 yards in the wrong direction.
...and their Ficken troubles with field goals continue. 47 yards, no good.

Throwing dirt in the gods faces
I'm looking good on my 2 12:00 picks giving away the points by taking Iowa and Penn State. These games, however, are not looking good. I haven't watched a lot of the Illinois game. Why are they so bad at run defense?
A second string walk-on
A second string walk-on fullback currently leads the B1G in rushing touchdowns this season. Yup, the conference is down this year.
A walk on
A walk on no less.
Edit - already mentioned.

Tim Beckman
Beckman looked incredulous on the sideline, but when your OL is getting exactly zero push, you basically need to get first downs straight up unfortunately.
Also, Illinois clearly just doesn't want to defend against the run. Obviously, they have to eventually run into the guy who is supposed to close the A gap, right?

Is anyone else watching WV and Baylor? I know this doesn't affect us at all, but the B1G games are completely one-sided. This is kind of like watching our 2010 Illinois game, except fun because your own team is not involved. These teams are actually going to hit the over on their point spread somehow.

this is far more entertaining than watching Illinois/Minnesota implode.

Later In The Game...
Eventually, they are going to lose some interest and the call will become a monotone, "Scheelhaase....forced out of pocket....picks up a few...."

I love the 2 offense's the WVU has used over the years...Run heavy kill ya on the ground with RR and now Pass heavy kill you in the air with Dana.
But one thing for sure in the big 12 Defense is optional...
Anti-Zook?
Is this the anti-Zook? Tim Beckman will keep the offense out there on 4th and 9?
...and while this was conventionally a punting situation and probably not a good idea technically, Scheelhaase connects for a 1st down.

improve anything. Wva-Baylor is much more exciting football.
And I'm so done with alternate unis. You can't ever tell who's playing anymore.
