OSU - Illinois

Why didn't Tressel thrown the flag on that fumble by Illinois? It was OBVIOUSLY a fumble. And it was one that looked like a fumble in real time as well.

I'm sure OBM is fuming at what a bad call that was. He just hates bad calls.

Re: OSU - Illinois

I can't believe I have to sit here and listen to Paul McGuire for the entire game. He's the guy I forgot in the "worst commentator" thread. He's about as bad as they come.

I've already counted 3 "I'm a tell you what"s, and I "let me tell you something."

Did you hear him in the pre-game call Williams an EXCELLENT passer?? I couldn't believe what I heard.

Wells scores 14-7 now.

I was in the bathroom when Illinois scored. Nature called.

Re: OSU - Illinois

Ruh-roh. 14-14. I'm a little worried about OSU's defense the last few weeks. Manningham could have a big day next week.

Re: OSU - Illinois

Illnois scores after the INT.

14-14 game.

I still say OSU will win this game because Illinois has no pass defense at all.

But OSU's defense is gradually being exposed IMO.

Re: OSU - Illinois

Very lethargic effort so far.

Oooh, nasty looking hit.

It was; but the defender is the one left lying on the field and shaken up.

So what does he do after he regains consciousness? celebrates!

When you have a talented QB and skill position players, the spread offense is hard to defend. Today's game poses a nice look-see (warmup?) for a multi-dimensional offense, like Oregon.

Good to see Beanie back in there. The running game just isn't nearly as good with Maurice Wells--I can't recall the last time I saw Maurice shake a tackle.

The O-line, as always, has been stellar in the first quarter.

I personally think Oregon would destroy us. That team scares me.

Re: OSU - Illinois

It may as well be Juice Newton back there. Williams stinks as a QB. The guy can't even lead his receivers on short (screen) passes.

It would be a shootout, that's for sure. OSU would have to be willing to play at the shootout pace, something Oregon has been accustomed to doing all year.

It depends. If Tressel is willing to accept the fast pace and the OSU defense doesn't get gassed, I think they could match up pretty well with Oregon.
