Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[Miles Leonard]

Getting clowned by a true freshman QB. Going to need our offense to win this.

More specifically, Peters legs

AJ Peters

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Very disorganized on offense where this should be our strength

 

[GraingerDanger]

No fans and yet we have burned two timeouts not paying attention to the play clock?

Not ideal

Get the kinks out now. This is why big 10 teams play cupcakes. Unfortunately, Wisconsin is more prepared and has more talent all-around. Probably why they’re ranked. Let’s start showing more fight.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Not making the simple play is killing us

 

[Miles Leonard]

Peters isn't getting any help. Josh has to come up with that.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Sure feels like nothing has gone right for us so far.

Please tell me we aren’t going to give up a 95-yard drive here

someone who knows better, how’s our depth look behind Hansen? I know we’re already down milo eifler

 

[DocMorgan]

Would really like to see us through the ball over the middle. We get killed over the middle all the time on defense. We only through the ball to the perimeter.

I know they are trying to get Williams reps, but what good does it do him to come in for a single play. Rod Smith's offense doesn't have any rhythm.

ill never understand why an east-west pass to the sideline is better than a crossing route 5-7 yards over the middle.

Has Cooper seen the field?

Just feels like our luck...The Eifler-Hansen-blanant missed 4th down call...all in the first half...against Wisconsin.

It should probably be 7-0 right now. Could be worse too, but we need to put together a good drive

 

[SoILL_INI]

Barnes doing a good job staying home and taking care of the QB

 

[redwingillini11]

Good stop.

 

[Deleted member 29907]

If Barnes can cover the middle on passes too - sign me up.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

A defensive stop followed by a short punt. Now's our time to shine!

 

[redwingillini11]

Good stop.

Good field position.

Take advantage of it.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

D is not playing bad, but the O needs to quit making stupid mistakes

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Good job defense forcing that 4th and 8. Or by Big Ten referee measurements, 4th and 3.
