Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[Twangers]

Man, better QB on the other end and we might be in trouble, Martinez has missed three home run balls by my count. Wide open, just missed them.

 

[logjam]

Bear Down!

 

[BWBW]

Rats

 

[3DegreeIllini]

Too easy.

 

[Illwinsagain]

I'm going to go out on limb and say this is our best game so far this year. One of the best under Lovie, too.

Let's wait to the end, CFU and PSU looked really good through 3 too. Just sayin"

 

[OskeeWowzer]

Why can we just not stop them.... if we’re not up two scores going into the 4th, I don’t see how we win.

 

[Hopingfor500]

Boom or bust defense.

 

[BWBW]

Nice block

 

[Ryllini]

That broken play with the throw to the sideline was a back breaker on this drive. No reason a helmet wasn’t put on the ball as he caught, instead went for a big gain.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Blocked xp at least - could be huge

 

[Ramrod2010]

Ha, of course.

 

[skyIdub]

It's a defense that can succeed if the offense can control the ball. Run. Play action. Tick tick tick tick.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Block could be huge later on.

 

[Spoon House]

I'm glad to see Avery making a play.

De facto 50 yard penalty

 

[BWBW]

That hurts

 

[skyIdub]

500 yards in 3 quarters.

Without turnovers we'd be down 3 scores

 

[SuperMetroid]

How is this game still in the 3rd quarter?

 

[Ol Dirty Gamer]

Nebby figuring out how to expose this d.

 

[BWBW]

Now we need a stop

 

[illinoistradition]

Oh wow. Bringing pressure on third down brings a stop. Novel concept.

 

[bombayIllini]

D needs to DOMINATE

 

[Hopingfor500]

Millen nailed that comment regarding the feeling of the crowd being in the oh no...phase.

 

[Deleted member 652352]

I have a feeling we’re gonna need one more gift from the turnover fairy if we want to win this one

 

[bombayIllini]

Not good.
