Purdue returns an INT to the 9 yard line. Chance to make it a one score game.
 

Illini just made it a one score game

Illinois withing 6. That would be a huge upset.
 





I don’t at all understand the kicking a fg from brohm there

They weren't going to score a td. Their qb look awful. So I'd have gone field goal to have some momentum and get a score. Doesn't look like they could score 10 more points in another 4 quarters, so I'd guess this one is over.
 

Wisconsin defense gives up 14 to Illinois offense. Our defense gives up 3. Minnesota Defense > Wisconsin Defense.

If it were only that easy.

So you’d rather try get 130 yards and a TD and FG plus hold Iowa twice versus get 10 yards and one 70 yard TD drive with one stop? I just can’t see justifying the call
 

Let's not count Purdue out, we know they're capable of executing a successful onside kick!

well look at that drive. They get a big turnover and then almost give it back on the first play. So after a disastrous 3 plays, I can't see how going for it on 4th down helps anything. Score, count it as a positive and move forward. But just a difference in opinion...
 

I know some people in this thread have called Plummer a chump in this thread, but he has made some big throws today against a good Iowa defense. Purdue back in the red zone.

Fair enough. We’ll see if they can finish off a comeback. Going to have to score a TD someday
 

Poor coach Brohm f'ed it up again. I wonder if he'll brush by Ferentz too.

I haven't seen a coach berate an official like that, for a call that clearly was right, since our buddy Bo Pelini.
 


Breaking: Illinois and Purdue still, unfortunately, Illinois and Purdue
 


Illinois has a legit catch taken away but Lovie has no challenges.

Edit: wait, if Lovie is out of challenges, how do we get an official review here? I thought those only happened in the last 2 minutes of the game.
 

Illinois within 2. Fighting Lovies playing well on homecoming!
 


Another beautiful call by Brohm. QB Sneak and 1st and goal at the 8.

That's the pro's. In college, any play can be reviewed if the ref in the sky buzzes down.
 




Illinois pick!!! First down near 50 with 2:30 to go!
