If I remember correctly we came out in the 1-3-1 a couple of times out of timeouts or dead balls - but just played it for one possession and then went back to man.
Yes this is harder than people may think. Illinois has some talent. 0-5 but 3 of those 5 games went to overtime. We can't just "expect" to win, Need to come out with a strong effort.
Exactly. Not sure if PSU called it from the bench but they took us out of our play before it ever started. Roby had been struggling from the line so maybe they thought even if they call the foul it is not a bad thing for them if Roby goes to the line with time left.
It was not a great lineup for offense - particularly with Taylor. But that was the group that made the 1-3-1 work. We did bring Gill in at the end to help on O.
Like vs. Northwestern they are really allowing defenders to get away with a lot of contact this game. Wonder if that is going to be a pattern in conference games this year?
