Any word on Lunt? Sorry if I missed that news. There's been some commotion in Chicago about a baseball team...
Who would have thought this would be a battle of 2-6 teams, and we'd have the only B1G win!?

Malik Turner (concussion) is not dressed and not going through warmups right now for #Illini

Sounds like Lunt is dressed but not expected to play.
Another light crowd early on Dad's Day.
Oof. Plenty of good seats still available, apparently.
Really disappointing. Felt this was a game we had a chance in if Lunt was playing.

No Lunt, no Turner, no chance.

We are so physically weak. We have guys getting pushed back 3 yards.
Can we get a first down now?

Maybe the defense can get a score or two today. I don't see the Illini moving the ball much on MSU.
This is a bad team using the 3rd string qb. Guess this is expected.

Just scrap all passes and go to a triple I. We have 3 good backs, just go with that. We cannot throw the ball at all.

I can't believe we are only down a field goal at this point. Shows our D is playing better. If JGJ can pass to anybody he can find open it will open up the run game for us and at least we might have a chance...

Thank goodness MSU Aren't that good themselves. They are literally giving us a chance in this game.
They are good, but they don't compare to the height of the infomercials from from 2006-2008. Those were classics.

Just a matter of time before they get a TD.
There's entertaining bad and boring bad and we're the latter. They've tripled us up on TOP, we have 26 yards and zero first downs. A yeoman job by the D holding them to 6 points so far but zero turnovers and they're allowing 5 of 9 on 3rd down. 28-14 at the half wouldn't be better football but it would be a lot easier to watch.
