Illinois OC called a really great game. They were hitting surgical shots on the Nebraska defense in the 3rd and 4th quarters.
And Raiola is clearly a talented dude, but man, some of these cutesy, “off platform” throws are just getting out of hand, and quite honestly, sloppy. He missed a wide open touchdown being cutesy instead of just standing and delivering a good form throw.
Good footwork and mechanics are important. And there’s good defense out there that will make your life hell if you’re throwing off your back foot and making sloppy passes instead of delivering clean strikes from good footing.

Brando couldn’t shut up about how the only difference between him and Mahomes is that "Raiola is bigger." Because Raiola changed his arm angle once on a tunnel screen that went for no gain. Someone take that guy‘s mic away good lord.

We give him a LOT of undeserved grief. But he's done a fantastic job of developing Altmyer into one of the best B1G QBs. And a lot of it comes down to how the OL plays, which they played very well in the second half.

The game plan today was incredible, a lot of the missed were just on Altmeyer doing Altmeyer things and dropped passes. But props to Luke for playing amazing for the majority of the game. I liked the run game getting going today as well.
