What did we learn Illinois edition

[Jason Sitoke]

You also can't kick a FG there. Put the ball in your best players' hands and take that chance on 4th and 3. 

That and the challenge is how you lose a game. Our head coach has a habit of these death by inches moments in close games.

You can taunt a kicker and it’s not taunting. Like they kept showing it each time they went to commercial!

OL still bad.  White has been exposed the past few weeks.  Need a WR who is like 6"3'

Neyor and Banks are 6'4 220ish...Maybe it's lack of elite speed or maybe, hear me out, it's McGuire.

Neyor is fools gold. Plays like he’s 5 10 and scared of contact.

He didn't even have to be taunted, he wasn't even close to making that FG, even if we had our normal kicker we probably would have missed unfortunately.  Our kickers are dog crap, they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

I don’t understand what happened to the defense.  No excuse for letting Luke freaking Altmeyer look like Peyton Manning. And also just giving up gashing run play after gashing run play.

What we had to choose from on offense tonight:

Raiola throwing: 35 times, 8.1 yards per attempt

RJohnson running: 4 times, 4.3 yards per attempt

RJohnson receiving: 2 times, 7.0 yards per attempt

What did we do the second-most times (after Raiola throwing)?  Have Dowdell run it 20 times.  All of 3.6 yards per attempt.

But, by all means, if something isn't working, keep banging your head against the wall.

There is zero imagination in the run game.  It’s just run up the gut over and over and over.

I understand your point to a degree but would the other backs have had the same success they had if they had the attempts Dowdell did? If you pick out his best 4 runs it probably looks alot better for him.

The back 8(sans Bullock 96% of the time) play hero ball trying to come in and make a huge hit instead of keying on their assignment.  Any OC in this conference should run every misdirection package they have

1. Satterfield needs to step it up.

2. Offensive line needs an overhaul. 

3. We need a kicker. How is this still a thing?????

4. Defense scheme in the second half was atrocious.

Also curious about inside vs outside runs and yardage.

We learned that the Blackshirts lose assignment discipline way too often. At least 3 TDs on missed assignments.

This tweet from 4 years ago sums everything up

I also learned that we don't know how to set a corner. And our halftime adjustments are non-existent

But, but, but that's just playing smart.  Just keeping the lead.  BS. That's who we are and it showed tonight.  Our 2nd halves are bad because the OC is bad.  Satt, McGuire and Ed would get a long hard review in the off season.
