Pick six.

 

[Palpie]

Just how beckman drew it up

 

[Jake]

O'Toole fires his second TD pass of the game. Too bad this one went to a La Tech defender.

 

[Saw31]

Just wait, you'll see...

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

I was thinking the same thing.

Meanwhile, pick-6 comin'?

Took em' a half-hour, but there you go.

 

[Jake]

Wow, Tech got away with a couple penalties on that pick six. Doesn't make the pass any less ridiculous, but still.

 

[Saw31]

Conference USA refs? Bad no call.

 

[Buckeye86]

Illinois is not good, they constantly make mental mistakes, and they get screwed by the refs.

Fucking awesome.

 

[Jake]

Jake, would illinois going for 2 from here on out be stupid?

assuming they manage any more tds.

Going for 2 in the first half is always stupid. If it's 21-9 at halftime and they score in the 3rd quarter going for two then would also be stupid. The success rate makes it a dumb play until you absolutely have to take the gamble.

The problem with "the card" is it doesn't consider the difference in success rate of kicks (over 95%) versus two pointers (less than 50%).

La Tech are now well and truly lulled into a sense of complacency. Now, Beckman's gameplan will take a new turn.

 

[Palpie]

Is latech blitzing every down?

 

[Jake]

Is latech blitzing every down?

No, it only looks that way.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Love how content the Illini players seem to be on trash talking this entire game. Losers.

 

[buckeyemania11]

So La Tech QB is 2/11 and they are still up 12....CUSA CUSA CUSA!!!

 

[Steve19]

Illini lead in virtually every stat. 19 to 8 minutes of possession. 271 to 164 yards.
