Due to the Cubs also playing at 3 pm, today's game will air on WYLL 1160 AM in Chicago instead of 670 The Score.

Basically, I would love an Illini win. But if i can leave with a one-score loss, fewer than 50 yards in penalties and knowledge that WMU is truly quite good... I might be ok.

24-20 WMU. Hope i'm wrong.

Is the game not being streamed online?

Good solid start!

 

[Idkhti37]

Nice effort by MT!!

Does that still count as a drop?

 

[Idkhti37]

Can't fault Malik on either imo. Fought for the first one and got it. Second one was a great play/hit by the D.

Tuck that ball away and he holds on to it. Not confident in his hands.

Not unless it is the potential game winner.

 

[Idkhti37]

BLOWN up!!

Now THAT is how your senior safety is supposed to play!

WMU's jerseys have canoe paddles on the shoulders. Weak.

So, I go the link. I can watch any game on the list, except the Illini: "You are not authorized to view this content."

Same on Roku.

It's not even subtle. Giant paddles. Looks ridiculous.

Passing game looks ok, but run is struggling. Wonder what Schmidt going down will do to the run game...

I am watching on Roku through Playstation Vue app, the middle (Core) tier. They offer a seven day free trial and start up is pretty quick.

 

[Idkhti37]

Could have used a little creativity on 4th down with a senior OL on the bench.

 

[BZuppke]

Yup.

 

[IlliniFan85]

So Barton is worst safety and and Mosley is worst DB. Both have cost us.

 

[blackdog]

Whoa did Lunt just put a spin move on someone for real?

 

[GallopingGhost]

So Barton is worst safety and and Mosley is worst DB. Both have cost us.

Worst in regards to what?

 

[IlliniFan85]

Worst in regards to what?

From top to bottom

refs can't make a call against the visitors, but certainly will not miss any chance against the Illini!
