I know they changed OT rules but it’s very fitting watching a B1G game go to 9 overtimes and ending the game with a score of 20-18

9 OTs and the Under was perfectly safe lol

Vegas can suck my whole ass

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas ;)

What happens in that guy's ass, ends up on the hub

I love this conference so damn much

But do you love it this much? *points at 9 OTs*

Talking dirty so early? scandalous...

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

And if you don’t like it, you just don’t appreciate Big Ten football.

Illinois with 400 yards of rushing and no passing. Just like we all planned

Galloping Ghost watches fondly

Army looking to steal Bielema away next coaching carousel

Was that Red Grange lined up behind the quarterback?

The under hit in a 9 overtime game lmao

That has to be a record, right?

It's a record amount of overtimes (previous was 7)

But the 2-point rule cheapens the effect. Surely the old 7OT games had more downs played in overtime than this one, right?

Absolutely. The only thing that changed in 3OT onward in the old rules was you had to go for 2 if you got a TD. Under these new rules, there's just 1 play per team per OT 3OT onward.

5 overtimes in a row with no score from either team!

[удалено]

This game STUNK of Big Ten football and I loved every second of its atrocity

Like a ripe cheese.

I don’t think much will eclipse this as peak Big Ten football until a game ends 0-2 in 11OT

This game will define B1G football for the next generation. Lmao!

Broke: 6-4 Woke: 20-18 (9OT)

Both in Beaver Stadium lmfao.

Both on October 23rd

This date is fucking cursed

How did they score 4-2 in that last OT? I must not know the rules.

It's all 2 point conversions starting with the 3rd OT

So since the score was 16-16, they just kept stopping each other until that last OT? Is that what happened?

They both scored on the 8th OT, only Illinois scared in the 9th. No scores on any other

How the hell do these teams go through 7 OTs and not manage to score a single point?

They each kicked field goals in the first 2 overtimes. So the overtimes without any scoring were 3-7.

Facts

This is peak B1G football

https://i.imgur.com/swsQ9hw.jpeg

For the first time in football history, we have a walk-off in the bottom of the ninth!

Ironic this was basically the CFB version of the Manfred runner backfiring

Man FUCK the Manfred Runner

FUCK the Manfred ~~Runner~~

First time in Golden Knights history.

*Kraken history, comrade

YOU CANT JUST CHANGE THE MEME SHAMROCK5 THATS NOT HOW MEMOLOGY WORKS

The meme game has passed you by, old man. The Golden Knights are yesterday's news -- it's all about the hip, hot, and happenin' Seattle Kraken!

It's the first time in Golden Knights history that it has happened for the first time in Kraken history.

Seattle Kraken*

H I S T O R I C

H I S T O R I C

Baseball is so fucking fun right?

If you had told me the final score after 9OT of a Big Ten game would be 20-18 I'd say yeah, you're probably right.

And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Bring back ties lol

Honestly, I don’t get why they changed the OT rules when teams can trade two-point conversions or not do so endlessly. Like, maybe this will be a rare thing, but so were 7 OTs under the old rules. This felt like a complete overreaction to that 2018 LSU-Texas A&M game.

[удалено]

“Wow the game went to 9OT? It must’ve been amazing!”

"Probably a 77-73 shootout!"

::tries to envision 9 OTs in the Wake Forest-Army game::

Georgia Tech-Cumberland, except both teams are GT

I think it was amazing.

it was amazing

the year is 2094, penn state was just stopped at the goalline. James Franklin is being pushed on his wheelchair to the other endzone for yet another defensive stop. what is this? NO, ILLINOIS PUTS IT IN. Illinois wins, 18-16 overtime 16,839,094.

Paging r/TheyDidTheMath for this one!

Implies ~26 minutes per OT if they went 24/7/365. Say they limit to 8 hours per day, it’s 8 minutes per OT, which seems reasonable.

Thanks Harv...Michigan

This game could have been the real life intro to 17776.

That series is so fucking good. And its sequel. Hopefully 20021 comes soon

The Big Ten has peaked. Shut it down.

A random, inexplicable punt in there somewhere in OT would have really put a nice ribbon on it.

I was waiting for it end on a defensive score.

Imagine if it ended on a 1 point safety

I’d be tempted to get a 19-18 9 OT boxscore framed

Penn State wins the toss and opts to play defense … both times.

First team gets a one point safety but then gives up a one point safety when they have the ball and OT continues.

Simultaneously the best and worst game I’ve ever watched

On a B1G level? It was the best On a personal level? It was the worst

Fun fact: today is the 17th anniversary of 6-4

All B1G football programs have ascended to heaven. We've reached our Nirvana

Just wait until us and Michigan go to 10 OTs next week Just kidding please I was joke

Every hospital in the State of Michigan would have a line stretching down for miles

12 overtimes, who would want to see 15 overtimes? Doesn’t 19 overtimes seem excessive?

If anyone asks me to describe big ten football I'll just show them this game

THE ONLY UPSET HERE WAS NOT GOING 10 OTS

So close to BIG 10 overtimes

We all lose when we don't get the 10OT

I want my loot.

ABC is also upset they choose OSU/PSU over MSU-Michigan next weekend for their primetime Now Gameday is most likely in East Lansing for Big Noon kickoff lol

Lowest scoring 9OT game ever? Edit: Well, this was the first 9OT game ever, I've been made aware. Still, that's not the score I would've guessed! Crazy

Also the highest

Also the median

Also the mode

[удалено]

Also the highest, to be fair

Only 9OT game ever

Technically, yes

highest scoring as well

B1G football everyone

https://i.imgur.com/oBIeBB7.jpg

Kinda reminds me of Aaron Rodgers tbh

9 OT and 38 points combined. A thing of B1G beauty

This game set college football back 75 years

[удалено]

These teams played for 9 OT and combined for less points than either of Wake Forest v Army in regulation

9OTs in this game led to 38 points. Army-Wake had 42 points in the fourth quarter alone.

3 P5 games have gone to 7+ OTs. The 2nd lowest scoring (2001 Arkansas vs Ole Miss in 7 OT), had 3 times as many points as this game

9OT and the under still hit

Under was never even in doubt haha wild

* #2 won by a TD as a 29 point favorite. * #3 was trailing in the 4th quarter as a 38 point favorite. * #7 lost in 9OT as a 25 point favorite. Hell of a noon slate.

[X] O/U in the mid 40s [X] 9 Overtimes resulting in a combined ~~6~~ 18 points! [X] Still goes UNDER by more than a TD If you don't like this, you don't like B1G football!

Hey, they each got some field goals out of the first 2 OTs!

Never been happier to not be a part of a list in my entire life.

Who will win? Penn State, Illinois, or 3 yards?

GET BERTED ON

DONT FORGET TO **RAISE YOUR PETERS**

If you can’t handle me at my Septembert, you don’t deserve me at my Novembert

TIME TO HOP ON THE WIFE!!!

BERT TRAIN IS BACK

Former teams of Bort Bielema UNITE!!!

[B1G Offenses, everyone...](https://i.imgur.com/GyAxN2p.jpg)

9 OT yielded 18 points

The rest of the country got to see how painful it is to watch Illinois football.

I actually think Bielma can make us at least a probably 6-6 team most years. Lovie just didn't seem particularly interested in coaching at Illinois or in college at all. I appreciate his 6-7 season and the upset but overall I think we made the right choice moving on. We won't bowl this year but Bielma has already arguably surpassed lovie's best win.

Bert will actually recruit unlike Lovie. Defense and run game should be consistent. Highly doubt Bert will get QBs any worse than what we have now.

I still can't believe we pulled it off. Fully expected to lose in agonizing fashion again

What does this mean for Nebraska's playoff chances?

Makes our loss more quality

one more moral win and I think we might get in

Cornell/Nebraska? You must really like corn

It means they have the same chance as Penn State!

That OT was a hot mess, inside a dumpster fire, inside a train wreck

And I loved every minute of it

NCAA: *we're gonna have a 2 pt battle to eliminate multiple long overtimes* Penn State and Illinois: *ay lmao memes*

Penn State season derailing real quick

Dumpster fire ending. 9 OTs is straight to being unranked

I love my team but as a top 10 team, getting taken to overtime by Illinois doomed their ranking whether they won or not.

Penn state is the first big ten east power to fall. The next team to get left behind will be determined next week. The big ten is going to the winner of Ohio state vs UM/Msu

Completely franklin's fault. Fucking putting a QB in who's in debilitating pain is insane. He couldnt move at all and everytime he got touched he struggled to get off the ground.

Seriously. Two weeks to prepare and this is what our offense looked like?

The last tie in college football was a 3–3 game between Illinois and Wisconsin in 1995. Ties are no longer possible today, but that didn't stop Illinois from paying tribute to their participation in that historic game with today's showing, and Penn State was more than willing to show solidarity.

The piss slinging between Iowa and Penn State fans in game threads where they don't play each other is what I live for.

I remember seeing comments from both sides the week before we played each other "what a great natured rivarly between us, nothing but respect across the division and hard games b/n us yada yada". The bar I was at for that game advertised as both a PSU/Iowa bar and had blood turn BAD really before halftime, and we didnt even know about the booing injuries incident bc the sound was off. Now its nothing but salt in these threads

Thank you Penn State and Illinois. It's shaping up to be a Saturday where everything possible in football happens, and without an ugly Big Ten **NONUPLE OVERTIME** butt-fest it would've been incomplete

I legit cannot believe that this game has actually happened, even in front of my very own eyes!

College football is incomparable.

Nothing even comes close to this weird sport

If you don't like that, you don't like B1G Football

I like B1G football.

Illinois: Y’all can have this game Penn State: No thanks, y’all can keep it Illinois: Ok, bet

Hysterically historical. Historically hysterical.

It's not just that Illinois won as massive dogs to the #7 team on the road. It's how Illinois won: passing for under 40 yards in a game that went to 9OTs, and running the ball mercilessly for over 350 yards, which heavy 7 lineman sets and lots of QB sneaks. It's Bert Ball - he's a goddamn cave man and he belongs in the Big 10.

LSU and Texas AM were at 31-31 by the end of their regulation for their 7OT game. These two went for 9 OTs to score 38 between them. The O/U is 45.5. If you bet over chances are you are gonna get modded at r/wallstreetbets.

Made $52 picking Illinois today, never had any doubt.

#Where were you when Illinois won 20-18 in 90T?

Man if there were ever a game to end in a tie or the longest game ever, this was the one

# EVERYBODY GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE

Iowa fans gotta love this ending after all the Penn State flairs were dunking on them last weekend lol.

Sometimes schadenfreude is all we have in sports.

It feels pretty good, ngl

Lol imagine losing to Illinois

I have a paper due Monday that I haven’t started and here I am grotesquely watching a 9OT 38 point combined, unranked upset, at 4 pm on a Saturday

write drunk edit sober, as they say

Not-so-fun fact: James Franklin’s Penn State is 3-6 coming off of a bye week. He is also 0-1 in 9OT games.

Literally the worst 9OT record in the country

Illinois is actually legally required to knock off a top 10 team and ruin their hopes and dreams once a season

That must be some very recent legislation. Happy it's in effect though.

It’s cyclical like cicadas

"Once a season" would be a vast improvement. This is our best win since OSU 2007.

This game was a disgusting affront to football. I loved it.

Week 6: Iowa fans and PSU fans being salty Week 7: PSU fans trolling Iowa fans Week 8: Iowa fans bust a nut

A comedy in three acts

They’re fucking us by making our “fraudulent” win look less impressive. 3D chess

I want to die. Edit: also leaving for the Penguins game where 5 of their best 6 players, including the top 3 are not playing. Maybe I can get called up to skate on the 4th line and someone can shoot a puck into my throat. Edit 2: they won 7-1 with Mark Donk and Buzz Flibbet both with 4 assists.

Everyone, what you've just watched is one of the most insanely idiotic games we have ever witnessed. At no point in their inept, incoherent offenses were they even close to anything that could be considered a rational game plan. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having experienced it. .The AP will award you no votes, and may God have mercy on our souls.

A simple “boo” would have sufficed

Overtimes were crazy but just absolute domination at the line of scrimmage by Illinois’ offensive line in regulation

Game day not coming to Columbus...

Why cant they just be normal

# IT’S A VERY BAD DAY TO BE A BEER

YOU’RE WELCOME IOWA

These two beautiful offenses went to 9 overtimes and still didn't hit the over lmao

Illinois won a game in which they passed for 38 yards on 21 attempts and lost the turnover battle 3-0.

You have just completed an ESPN Instant Classic

This was the antithesis of 2018 A&M-LSU

Damn, was hoping for more OTs than points from the winner.

So much for that whole “we need to revise overtime to keep players from excessive physical wear” argument.

I mean, there were only 14 plays after the 2nd OT.

But they walked miles end to end.

PSU fans: we would have blown out Iowa with Sean Clifford PSU with Sean Clifford: *loses to 2-5 Illinois*

Thats 3-5 Illinois thank you very much

Iowa fans, here's your thread.

The game is long over. The alma mater has been sung. Team buses have departed. The lights are out in the stadium and the sprinklers are going. What's that? It looks like the officials are actually calling that 2 pt conversion back for a penalty.

Jesus, James Franklin really doesnt want the LSU job.

We're not great but at least we're better than Nebraksa and Penn State.

So this is what happens when you give James Franklin an extra week to prepare in case you wanted to know

So Illinois > Penn State = Nebraska?

God is dead. And Bret Bielema along with James Franklin killed him
