Afternoon Game Thread + Illinois down 3 to PSU
October 23rd, 2021 at 2:56 PM ^
now tied 10-10, 12 minutes left in the game. and clifford has been playing for PSU.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:03 PM ^
PSU is so trailing in all stats but turnovers. I haven't been watching but WTF?
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:05 PM ^
just saw that myself, 3 TO's for the illini. transitive property and all of that, but maybe PSU isn't as scary as we think?
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:28 PM ^
Is their trap game?
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:50 PM ^
Can you speak of a “trap game” when you’re coming off a bye?
October 23rd, 2021 at 5:23 PM ^
You can still look at the following weekend when coming off a bye week
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:34 PM ^
Clifford is playing like a game manager. ILL played good D.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:05 PM ^
Clifford is hurt (not injured) but suffering after a sack that wasn't that hard.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:07 PM ^
weeks ago when he went out at iowa but was on the sideline in the 2nd half walking around i hypothesized that he had some form of a pre-existing rib injury. seems like it was a good guess.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:11 PM ^
Oh yeah, he was bent over on that play. Too bad b/c I figured he'd be fine for us but was hoping their game with OSU would be competitive.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:09 PM ^
How has Wake given up 49 to Army?
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:11 PM ^
no kidding. meanwhile cincy is going to sneak away from a 1-5 navy team, but not by much.
EDIT: navy scores again with 50 seconds left, 27-20 cincy, but man, the #2 team?
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:15 PM ^
And people here acting like Michigan is still only one score up here.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:24 PM ^
and i might have spoken too soon. navy recovered an on-side kick and is in cincy territory. oh my, wouldn't that be an upset.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:38 PM ^
An Army game with 126 total points scored. What the absolute hell?
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:18 PM ^
PSU struggling…with good reason. Michigan looking weak. ..P.I. Is best offense for Mich.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:21 PM ^
so glad you could join us. what team are you a fan of?
EDIT: looked at your history. you are an ohio troll.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:42 PM ^
Hey, troll. Your state sucks.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:23 PM ^
“You can’t advance the muff”. -Line of the day. Near disaster for Illinoying as they receive the punt inside the 10 under a minute.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:27 PM ^
We can beat Penn State. Refs screwed Illinois with their pants on more than once in this game.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:31 PM ^
UC - Navy was good. Illinois running all over PSU but can't get points. Too bad Kansas couldn't make their lead stick.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:34 PM ^
Great stop by Illini on 3rd down.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:34 PM ^
Nice job ILL. They sniffed it the whole way.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:35 PM ^
Penn St has to go for it on 4th down in overtime
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:35 PM ^
They got that 4th down but don't know if that was a good call
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:36 PM ^
Are there like 11 fans there?
This low angle they run to avoid it looking dead empty just sucks.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:36 PM ^
I haven’t seen any of this game but I see that Clifford is playing. How is this a close game?
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:38 PM ^
Clifford looks like he's playing with broken ribs.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:41 PM ^
The PSU backup is so bad that they have to go with an injured Clifford? Yikes.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:38 PM ^
Illinois D. Clifford arm punt did not work.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:38 PM ^
Clifford is probably playing hurt.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:37 PM ^
Illinois D.... Wow...
.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:38 PM ^
Illinois scores a TD and it’s game, blouses.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:38 PM ^
Nice stop by the Illini on 3rd
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:38 PM ^
I submit that Michigan is gonna run on this Penn State team
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:50 PM ^
I submit that PSU will submit with about 12 minutes left in the third quarter next Saturday, down 38-6.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:38 PM ^
Come on Illini!!
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:38 PM ^
Illinois can go for the win here. 4 downs each time
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:40 PM ^
That was a very good trick play call but the guy threw it like 3 seconds too late
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:40 PM ^
Throw the ball ILL
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:40 PM ^
I've been watching a lot of this game. Penn State looks horrible, on both offense and defense. Even with Clifford. Earlier Illinois scored a touchdown twice on the same drive, only to have both of them called back, leading to the tying field goal. They could have won, in regulation, in Happy Valley.
Illinois! How bizarre.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:43 PM ^
Maybe the are shocked they lost to that joke of a team, Iowa
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:40 PM ^
What a crazy play call. Lucky it wasn’t intercepted
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:40 PM ^
That was a good play call. Close though
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:40 PM ^
I love the throwback playcall by Illinois. Heading to OT2.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:41 PM ^
Cool play but he had to put a little more oomph in that throw.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:41 PM ^
Illinois had the perfect trick play but waiting too long to pass it
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:41 PM ^
I don't like you, Bert, but let's go Bert.
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:41 PM ^
Get a turnover ILL
October 23rd, 2021 at 3:43 PM ^
Lol. Forgot the rules. Go ILL. Score a TD.
