Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[zentrails]

Our quarterback play is so abysmal that it boggles my mind. Throw Spann or Collier in. It literally cannot be worse. Art is 0/12.

Spann is not with the team today

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Art is better than Peters.

Ryan Johnson is better than both.

Bears had 47 total yards against Cleveland. I didn’t think I’d see a performance that inept ever again, yet here we are…

One quarter left, 8 yards to get.

Illini Football - we’ll sell you the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge.

Ryan Johnson is better than both.

!!!!, I’m better than both. I mean, I literally could NOT be worse, at least.

 

[TheChief4Life]

I just don’t understand why the game plan has been what it’s been today…. Makes no effin’ sense…

McCray on the sidelines

12:25 to go in the 4th, Illinois with 51 yards of total offense.

 

[IlliniBorn]

Well at least we are avoiding the 40 or 50 point blowouts. So far that is.

So far

Suck it Bears

 

[MaineIllini]

Surprised by that pass. I expected Wisconsin to just run into the pile from here on out.

It’s a home game. Where would he be?

 

[pvaughn8]

This qb play is as bad as the Jeff George Jr year

 

[Illini92and96]

It’s a home game. Where would he be?

He got confused and went to Madison.

How
Many years does Josh Whitman get to keep putting out such an atrocious product and keep his job?

For as long as he wants in my mind. Josh Whitman is not the problem, he bleeds O&B harder than most on this forum. We don’t have the talent to compete, or run BBs style of play. Oh and are OC needs to leave the same day Peters does.

Basketball seems like a home run and lovie was a fail. If Bret turns out decent I’d say he did a good job, at least in those two sports. Need more than a year to turn this situation around, no?

Homecoming shutout

 

[LFOD]

We have to give Bielema some time to turn this sad ship around. It’s gonna take years, not weeks.

 

[oldman]

Time to give Johnson some pt, if we somehow get the ball back.

not dressed I meant

 

[Illinivek23]

Mel Tucker turned MSU around pretty quickly - I have hope. Smashmouth is just not a good matchup for us right now.

Agree 100% but I expected so much more from Illini OL.

 

[TheChief4Life]

I don’t blame BB for this year, nor should anyone. But god damn… I have A LOT of questions regarding how we got this bad as a program, questions about this game specifically, some play calling decisions in past games, etc.

I will admit I’m worried about this stuff because it has nothing to do with the players. This is a BB problem.

In order to turn a ship around, you have to be willing to turn the wheel. I see nothing new, nothing different, nothing creative.

Have you ever coached a kids team with no talent and wish you could run a simple play, but you couldn’t? It’s hard to experiment when the players don’t even know their way around a lab.
