Football vs. SIU: In Game Thread
HappyPenguin:
I don't think any of us saw it playing out like this.
Rivers is clearly not healthy, as was mentioned before. Without consistent pressure from only the front 4 we can be had. If he's hurt we aren't doing much post season.
A win at the end of the day, no matter how ugly, is all that matters.
I'm a bit disappointed how sloppy we looked at times. We should be peaking at this point of the season and clearly we are not.
1 more week to clean some things up. Man do we miss a healthy Kennedy.
FOOTBALLFEVER:
Teams are starting to respect our passing game and in turn it's opening up the run game for Ruiz and Webb, plus we are keeping our quarterback healthy in the process. If only we could get some separation with our receivers and they wouldn't stop on their routes and catch the ball. Overall a good game plan by coach Montgomery
DavedS:
We did let SIU back in a game that we shouldve put them away--I will take the win though and I do consider any win in the conference a good win.I think our expert prognosticator predicted a 6-5 season with no playoffs--lets sit back and eat our popcorn and see what transpires.

Should win next week. WTF. 8-3 is ok. We lost to teams everyone on the board thought we would. We are not playing good but still winning....

Pretty much sums it up!

Look we had 2 TD, 3 missed FGs and a dropped pass in the end-zone ...just in the first-half. Wells was good over all, quite clean at times; clearly progressing each game, as we were hoping. Play calling on both sides good. We finally had solid balance on D ...people are seeing what we will look like next year. SIU's OC knew exactly how to beat us ...watch the WVU game. They had, twins and trips out wide ...ran all plays at Moss and Rivers ...completely taking them out of the game.
We went up-tempo and scored in a couple of minutes ...but it worked. At the end SIU could have beaten anyone. Pelini was right in the post-game, we let SIU in this game. Some really shaky calls by the officials. Did you guys see that one-double foul and a no-call on a face-mask that the official had clearly seen and thrown the flag on. He was acting like he saw the other infractions, when he clearly was looking at the face-mask against Webb. That is really bad, someone needs to send a letter and footage to the conference. Special teams bad. Clearly Kennedy's ability to knock it out of the end-zone has been saving us all year. I kind of suspected, but it was validated today. Just a bad all-around effort on D, special teams ...and an O that cannot make-up for it by producing points. Best game Webb has had all year ... game ball. Nice punting today as well.

Don't get ahead of yourself. Rivers is hurt. We are a little banged up on defense from being on the field for too long over the last few games.
How about the sissy two two yard sideways pass with the QB and RB running the same direction? WTF was that?
We have no identity on offense. The receivers run garbage routes. Amd still struggling in the red zone. The only thing that got better was Hunter.
Defensively we ran base man and only blitzed at the end when we needed some big plays. Rivers didn't play 3rd downs today.
That team was no good and our players played to their level.
