Hello darkness my old friend

What was with Hobbs deciding not to tackle Rodney Smith on his 64 yard run?? Anybody else notice how odd that looked?

Wole also did that on his long TD run 2 yrds after the line of scrimmage

The defensive (back) play has been terrible today. Not good football instincts, out of position, bad tackling. I thought the point of playing these kids for the last 2-3 years was that they wouldn’t be making these mistakes in their junior years.

Too late in the season to be mental mistakes like this - these guys are not disciplined and that's on the D coordinator

It meets your narrative. We have had injuries at safety all year causing constant changing of personnel in the backfield

And here come the undisciplined penalties. Bye Bye Lovie.

Yeah. Fundamentally weak. Embarrassing. Sad.

Out for the game. Per radio guys.

Don't like our play calling.

No narrative at all - injuries don't change your mental ability to think and know your position. And I don't see anyone ever getting chewed out.

We need a turnover in the worst way.

Just shut the game off. Tired of watching this pathetic crap. Lovie needs to go!

 

[Greensboro]

And I should’ve shot 72 but I missed those 18 putts.

Hope you had better luck on the back nine.

Absolutely inexcusable after an off week to prepare. He's straight stealing money at this point.

I mean. Really? You’re gonna blame this tenure on injuries.

 

[Illini_05]

Can’t wait for Basketball Season, they’ll probably disappoint us there as well but it’ll be much better than this pathetic bs

The game of the year will be Illinois vs Rutgers....in front of about 1,000 people.

 

[Halloweenie]

Qb keeps..he goes for 15

 

[IlliniReb]

We need it to start raining again

First half
Min 35 plays - 247 yrds 7yrds a play
The defense still sucks
IL offense 39 plays - 155 yrds 4 yrds a play
The offense still sucks

This team plain sucks. The fault isn't the offense alone nor the defense alone. They both SUCK

Well, it wouldn't hurt to have Roundtree and Beason out there.

 

[Deleted member 652751]

You really have to put forth some serious effort to be this pathetic on defense.

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

This is getting ugly.
