If we continue our stubbornness of using our 2 shell, our defense will only continue to get shredded.
Something about insanity and expecting different results.

Assuming you are hinting at the TD before half, we didn't get burned just because we were in Cover 2. That was just bad technique by both safeties. There's nothing inherently wrong with Cover 2(we aren't in Cover 2 as much as people think) but the team has had streaks of bad fundamentals since Lovie started. Usually a coordinator can help with this but well.... you know...
In the last six games Peters is the only Illini to rush for more than 70 yards.
I agree! We played way better last year when we went man!
What I have witnessed with Illini football is a remarkable devotion to a football team. We suffer almost on a daily basis the excuses to why our football team is not good enough for the BIG10 Conference. I gripe every year, and threaten to cancel my Season Tickets, but to sit there and wait for the Offence to come on and see what they could do is someone who can't wait for the next game

Because everyone was betting jumping all over the 4.5 line and (wisely) betting on Purdue.
Lmao - made me spit out my coffee.

Are the guys virus free? Graham Mertz came up positive along with their next QB up.

naw...he is making 4 mil a year at Cincy...he is only leaving for the right fit/opportunity and that ain't Illinois.
If Moore plays I don't see how Lovies vaunted defense stops Purdue.(I struggle to see us stopping them without Moore too). They should play action us to death and if they don't Brohm should be fired before getting back to the locker room. I can't believe in year 5 the defense still struggles with the same stuff, Lovie has to make tweaks that for some reason just refuses to do.
The man believes in his way to a fault.
This joke is being made everywhere and I feel nitpicky enough to point out that we got him a few times and also there was some scrambles. We are lucky to not have an outbreak.
Thank you for being the one to take the hit. I was afraid of being accused of not having a sense of humor.
According to Will Leitch, it's not really luck. It's largely anecdotal, but he says this:
"It’s apparently difficult to transmit the virus on the field.
One notable aspect of every sports outbreak, from the Cardinals in baseball to the Tennessee Titans in the NFL to the Florida Gators in college football: The only players anyone transmitted the virus to were teammates. During the first series of the season, the Miami Marlins fielded a team against the Philadelphia Phillies that included multiple COVID-positive players, but no one on the Phillies ended up contracting the virus afterward. College football, which has been by far the most lax among major sports in isolating and testing players, hasn’t seen any team-to-team transmissions either. It is bad when a team has an outbreak. But it is far worse — and arguably insurmountable — if that team is transmitting that outbreak to an opponent. You can contain one team at a time, but you can’t contain them all at once. Thus far, there hasn’t been a single documented instance of a player getting COVID from an on-field event. That has allowed the games to continue."
