Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 22 Illinois

Delay of game on 3rd and 5. With two timeouts and 36 seconds left in the half. Then a sack to get out of easy FG range. Unbelievable.
What a disaster by Lausch. First he gets a delay of game and the. Has no awareness that he cannot take a sack to compromise our field goal range. I think Boe is probably going to win the job unless we get a transfer, which it sounds like we may not be looking to do. Although after this performance perhaps the coaches will pursue a QB.
Three trips to the red zone. Three points out of it.
Lausch makes some nice plays to give us some optimism, and then he throws dumb picks and gets sacked on third down in the red zone. Just so frustrating.

I’m glad they are finally designing plays for Henning instead of the usual flip it out to AJ, and hope he does magic.
Lausch? really? You don’t think that’s the head coach’s responsibility? Braun did his best Matt Eberflus impersonation there at the end of the half. Terrible clock management by this staff cost us 3 or more points.
He gets an F for the whole year on it. He’s harped on the need to improve in the middle 8 when the bulk of it has been just him badly ****ing up.
This has been our track record all season against decent teams. Nothing has changed sadly.
Lausch can take a little heat for ultimately taking the sack rather than just throwing it away
yikes, it is maddening watching this team. Lauschwith numerous starts under his belt, making dumb decisions. As well as throwing the occasional grounder to a wide open receiver. And Yet another makeable field goal missed.
Just dumb stuff that we shouldn’t be seeing on the last game of the season.

Because it’s too much to ask of Lausch to have enough awareness to call the timeout himself? Or enough awareness to know he can’t take a sack in that situation?
It always confused me how we are supposedly the smart school but our players seem to lack field smarts so often.
This shows how clueless you are about football. What yoy tell a first year starter at QB is to focus on reading the defense and the coaching staff will handle the play clock, if needed.
Ah, the casual backbreaker to start the half, awesome.
See what happens when the offense gives no reason for hope?

What everyone should
Be asking themselves is what the heck has happened to our front seven defensively. Getting manhandled at the line of scrimmage and giving up huge running plays left and right. We have no chance of we can’t stop the run.

Totally should've thrown the ball away there. FG would've been good from just a few yes closer. But the delays of game this year are maddening.
