That fumble never would've happened if he just hit the wide open dude in the EZ a couple plays before.

And the 4th down throw was ridiculous. You can't throw that pass where NO ONE has a chance....

You see that on almost every level now ... is it dumb players or dumb coaches
ITS 4TH DOWN YOU MORONS, an INT doesn't hurt you anyway, throw it up for grabs
IT HAS TO BE CAUGHT BY SOMEONE

Exactly.  The receiver lost his footing, but I think he lost it because he had to adjust to the bad throw.  Can't say for sure though.  A play that has to be made, but wasn't.  Just another indication as to why you don't put the game in Shortell's hands by having him throw a fade on 4th down.

He can't hold onto the ball.  He takes too long to make decisions.  Not a good QB.  Or at least not a good Big 10 QB. 

Wonder if Gray was not healthy enough or if Kill made the decision to not risk it?  I definitely would have brought Gray in on the 4th down play by the endzone just to give the defense something to think about.

Unfortunately, this offense has no game breakers outside Gray. Kirkwood is solid, but he seems to be more interested in hitting a safety after a 6 yard gain than making him miss and housing it. And the WRs unfortunately don have the athleticism to be playmakers. We need help there big time.
