Illinois/Rutgers finish

Anyone who had Rutgers at pick had a horrific beat. At minus one, you deserved a push. Still a very strange ending.

It's 31-30 Rutgers with around 10 seconds left in the game. 4th and long. Bielema sends the kicker out for a 58 yard FG. I don't believe the kicker had ever hit one that far. Rutgers calls time out to ice him. Bielema has time to think about things, and pulls the FG team off and puts the offense back out there. Hail Mary right? Nope. Laterals? Nope. Altmeyer drops back and throws the ball maybe 15 yards to the WR around the 25.......who proceeds to race untouched despite Rutgers having numerous defenders playing deep. This was arguably worse than the Bears allowing the Hail Mary by Washington last month. You are in a prevent yet you allow a receiver to run 25 yards untouched?

I know these coaches are not mensa sensi's but the level of (and stupidity is not even the right word) they have reached is incomprehensible. Started with that idiot Miami coach last year blowing the kneel down strategy!

And howid about Coach Day and his fraternity fag quarterback rubbing it in on Indiana for less than no reason right after their idiot running back decided to not score a touchdown for no legitimate strategic reason. They may play again and it may come back to haunt them. You don't do that unless it's Michigan and certainly not in the regular season.

I didn't bet the game, but I have Ruthers over their win total of 6, a win would have put them at 7 wins, now I need to win this week to cash. Schiano is a good coach, but calling a TO in that spot was dumb, first off do you really need to ice a college kicker attempting a 58 yard kick? Second, these coaches always wait until the last possible second before calling for time, which allows the kicker to go through with the kick anyway, the TO gives the kicker a practice kick, besides, I don't think having the kicker think about it for 30 extra seconds makes any difference anyway. Also, Illinois didn't need a TD, they needed enough yards for a first down, as soon as the kid caught the ball, had he been tackled Illinois spikes the ball and kicks a much more makeable FG, the mistake by Rutgers defense wasn't allowing him to score as much as it was allowing the completion in the first place
