Illinois Dual Thread

Connell chooses down. They go oob. Restart. Connell out and it’s 1-1. Someone needs to try to score I would think. Connell shoots and Assad goes behind for the TD! 3-1.
 
Assad with a wrist and Connell is flat. Going to ride him out for the 3-1 win. 19-16 Iowa.
 
What am I watching? No shots, no offense. Wow, not sure where Iowa style went but this is one of the worst performances I have seen from an Iowa team since the end of the Jimmy Z era.
 
And then once Rathjen went out and got dismantled at 57 you'd all be bitching about how you never wanna see Rathjen at 57 again. Lose lose situation, something the Brands deal with a lot.

I mean if anything is gonna cause lead feet it'd be influenza, we've seen Bennett enough to know that wasn't like him at all.
Bennett has been crap on his feet in a number of matches. He is below average from neutral. This isn't Siebrecht's first rodeo with being out classed on TDs. You are not going to junk everyone.
 
Braunagel tries to go double unders but Warner clears. Warner with some good action but can’t get a leg. Blood time for Warner.

Warner with a drag and gets the leg. Looks like he had 2 but not awarded. Then Braunagel gets a leg, they go to the mat and Braunagel with a cradle on the edge. Warners foot touches oob and no score. Illinois challenges.

Like I said, his matches were weird takedown battled because neither guy was especially talented, and he never gassed. He could barely move today. I know for a fact there's been an especially bad sickness going through the room, so based on context clues I'm willing to give the guys the benefit of the doubt.
 
Warner chooses down after Braunagel defers. Warner to his feet and out in 11 seconds. 1-0 Warner.
 
100% the opposite. if his name wasn’t brands people would be impressed that a recruit ranked in like the 80’s has come in and had this kind of success.
I agree. I think people get this wrong all the time in situations like this. Eli Manning is a football example. Two time Super Bowl champ beating Tom Brady both times, top 10 in the major passing categories. That resume is excellent, but because he's not as good as Peyton, he's seen as less good than he was.

Yeah Eli was definitely not Peyton
 
Braunagel down. Quick escape. 1-1. Warner with a half shot. Braunagel with a far knee pick. Nothing. 30 seconds to go.
 
Cassioppi and Wroblewski. Cass taking ground. Cass with a body lock but loses it as they hit the mat. Tony covers for 2
