Carolina @ Illinois game thread

[berens007]

Why not kick it there?

Fedora just has to defy convention - bites us in the ass again

 

[Carolina Way]

Once again, Fed outsmarts himself. Damnit take the 3 and go up two scores man!

Yeah no idea what in the world we're doing there.... other than giving their team the momentum.

 

[coryfly]

So dumb

 

[yrusonvus]

Why not kick it there?

who knows, guess Fed is thinking we get the ball first after half

 

[Spaceytoyz]

this is why Fed is an Idiot, you are only up one score, FG here you go up 2 scores and double up receiving the second half kick off... instead they get momentum down 1 score , really he is a complete idiot...

 

[Elijah.Lumbee]

Nope, I sure as hell do not have to love the risk taking there shit announcer guy. Fudge, halftime looks like a good time to break out the Eagle Rare.

 

[strummingram]

That is exactly why I think Fedora is still in over his head.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina does great in the last 2 minutes getting down to the one but instead of kicking the sure fg UNC goes for the score and Hollins cannot pull in a sure touchdown so the half ends 24-16 for the good guys.

 

[sctarheel30]

Not sure what fedora was trying to prove there. Hope we don't lose by three or less

 

[Elijah.Lumbee]

not trying to be mean, but proehl and switz are the same guy, why are both of them playing at the same time?

where are all these other 6'2" wr's that we recruited.

and by the way, kick the fg...get points

Right? Can I get a Juval Mollette appearance? Or are they trying to redshirt him?

 

[TarHeelMark]

who knows, guess Fed is thinking we get the ball first after half

Yeah but to go up 11 AND get the ball with a chance to get a three score lead just makes too much sense for Larry? I don't get it.

 

[sctarheel30]

Another one of his boneheaded decisions

 

[WoadBlue]

That is exactly why I think Fedora is still in over his head.

It never pays to out think yourself. At times, it seems as if Fedora is thinking: well, as that is rather obvious, let's don't do it and trick 'em all.

 

[gteeitup]

where are cunningham, fillawhatever, cabrera, mollette?...not only are two small guys running as targets, but they don't block.

 

[heelz2345]

I will say I think we should have kicked it, but I think Fedora wanted the knockout punch that a TD there would have been. One of those plays where if it works we are all saying how genius it was. Didn't work out that way, gotta go start the 2nd half with a good scoring drive.

 

[yrusonvus]

.

 

[strummingram]

And, with 1-2 yards to get a TD, a run would be a good idea.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

break out the Eagle Rare.

I've been leaning into the Basil Hayden's. Need it for this one.

 

[sctarheel30]

Come on heels let's make up for fedora's stupid decision

 

[berens007]

I am about done with these tosses 8 yd behind the line - good pickup though

 

[Elijah.Lumbee]

Why are we doing tosses with Hood?

 

[Elijah.Lumbee]

It seems like we are eating them up in the middle of the field on passes

 

[berens007]

Into the wind tough here

 

[TarHeelMark]

Well crap. We are doing everything possible to keep them in the game.

 

[coolwaterunc]

Play at the end of the half is gonna bite us.

 

[Elijah.Lumbee]

Damn. Weather gets the best of us there

 

[yrusonvus]

Well crap. We are doing everything possible to keep them in the game.

yop

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina takes the second half kickoff and march down to the 25 but Wilder kicking into a strong wind misses a fg from 42 yards out. Score still 24-16...

 

[TarHeelMark]

Play at the end of the half is gonna bite us.

Sure feels like it will.

 

[gteeitup]

stupid ass bs

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Why are we doing tosses with Hood?

It doesn't make sense. Run the outside runs with Logan, inside with Hood.

 

[gteeitup]

need a turnover

 

[TarHeelMark]

Be a good time for a pick six, wouldn't it?

 

[TarHeelMark]

Despite our offensive stupidities, the D has settled down and played well since the first quarter.

 

[Elijah.Lumbee]

Our defense is standing very tall right now. Seems like Illinois forgot it was a one possession game

 

[yrusonvus]

Switz in his own head, another muff but he recovers

 

[Elijah.Lumbee]

Jesus Switzer just give me a heart attack

 

[yrusonvus]

finally!

 

[sctarheel30]

Finally

 

[TarHeelMark]

Now that was an efficient drive! Well done Heels.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Tubinsky hits Hollins for a Td and the lead balloons to 31-16...
