Ball actually hit the ground.

I think the early missed opportunities and their early easy scores kind of set the tone.

Illinois State had to travel and it was their finals week too - so excuses only go so far. Illinois State is just a really good road team.

Need to go no huddle tempo - pedal to metal.

What a difference from last year. I think the Aggie run D was better last year and Illinois State is definitely better.

Well you have to give it to the Redbirds - they deserve to win.

Illinois State just out-physicaling the Aggies.

Man I just saw that beautiful throw by Pinnick then the very unfortunate fumble. Just have to execute in playoffs or you’re done for the season.

Exactly.

The trouble is if you attack the box Rittenhouse and his receivers are dangerous. Need a couple turnovers.

Well as most analysts say “whoever wins the line of scrimmage and is more physical wins.”

Just cannot stop their run game. Long drives are in Redbirds favor

LOL

Is Gbatu out? Haven’t sent him much in second quarter and announcers were saying something about planter fasciitis

Well that was an ugly kick. Just didn’t look right in timing or anything.

There o-line is winning the line of scrimmage.

exactly.

Would have though Pinnick around the end or other speedster rather than up the gut.

Well maybe he can kick it into the end zone given the extra 15 yards

yah a push off but you have got to fight through that.
