Here goes nothing.

 

[thehass]

We have them right where we want them. In the locker room.

 

[Twangers]

No Peters, no Sidney, no Ware. I didn’t think we could win at full strength, now? Eesh.

 

[Halloweenie]

Well...it's very windy.... Matt Robinson doesn't have the strongest arm.... Isaiah should at least alternate...I believe we will not score on offense. 45 to 0

 

[IdahoIllini]

Can the defense score enough to win? Lol no. Feels like 45-3 with a 50+ yard FG being our only points. Lovie train continues to limp into the station.

 

[gecIllini]

The line is now up to -24 (started at -19)...wow

 

[Twangers]

Chase Brown was granted immediate eligibility today, what in the world is the NCAA doing??!!

 

[OrangeSoda]

Didn't even know Brown was looking for an appeal..?

But Ford is still sidelined??

Isaiah Williams should be starting if he can play. He'll be gone next year.

 

[illini4fan]

Probably a good thing I can't watch this game. Don't get ABC

What makes you say he’s gone next year?

 

[IlliniBeast]

Uniforms look good.

 

[IdahoIllini]

That was a great first down play that we ran on third down.

 

[ChocolateThunder]

"crap through a goose." SMH

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Lovie said focus of practice this week was better tackling. Certainly didn't look like it on that first drive.

 

[IdahoIllini]

Goes for the strip, gives up the TD. Classic Lovie.

 

[illinipioneer]

Ahem....porous

Not a great example. The guy wasn’t actually trying to make a tackle, he was playing for the strip

 

[dsg]

By all means focus on stripping that football first! Don't worry about the runner, he will fall down eventually.

 

[SuperMetroid]

They won’t have to throw a single pass today.

 

[IdahoIllini]

Yeah, in the end zone. Lol.

 

[Ryan1224]

Okay lets just play Isaiah the rest of the game, ok?

 

[IlliniBeast]

Jake Hanson just goes for the ball instead of the tackle on the TD run. Is anyone coaching the defense? Any casual fan has been pointing out poor tackling for years and it still seems it hasnt been worked on.

 

[IlliniFisherman]

Lovie defense LOLLLLLLLLL
