Great play by Watson on second down there.
Setting a tone for a very winnable game here. Get the run game going, keep the D fresh, and get a lead to protect. Black and Blue football today!

It really sucks that it didn't work out for Lunt here, but I look forward to a future with QBs lacking cement blocks for feet.

Ok, the coaching staff just lost me. Why are we passing? run the ball and let the clock run out and get the wind to our backs. :tsk:
i think they overthought the first down playcall after the penalty. DiLaurio going for the reach-block early really sold out the play call, so they went to a pass. Spiraled from there.

There are about 50 students at this game. Painful.

That's Illinois football in a nutshell. Get good field position and can't do anything with it and then kick it into the endzone for a touchback.
and yet we're SO DESPERATE to get our November home game back from Soldier Field

Nice to see some young players on D running around and making plays. Iowa on the move now that Illinois blew that good field position. Too bad the offense just can't do anything.

And that might be ballgame. I dont think we could get a TD.
