Indiana 23, Illinois 20 Postgame
yeah, they were pretty terrible; makes the loss that much worse
Looked a lot like a Lovie Smith coached team.
I stayed up until midnight for that. Kill me now. Gave the game away with piss poor execution and ridiculous late game play calling. Not to mention getting 4 points taken away by the God awful B10 officials. Offensive line sucks right now and I thought for the second year in a row they would be better. Davito not going to win you any games I don't think, no accuracy. Maybe some day I will be rewarded with a good football team before death but I'm not certain. I do think we have some coaches but you gotta be more creative than what we saw tonight from the offense after several drops. Just a crushing loss that should have easily been a win with solid execution.

Mistakes, turnovers and not getting the stop when you needed it. Sucks our defense was solid for 29 minutes and just not the 1 minute that really counted. Get the next 2 games and we should be ok.
What a depressing start to a 3 day weekend.

After that, the season is going to go one of two ways (1) a complete downward spiral or (2) catalyst to vastly improve the seasons outcome (ala Virgina and ironic that is the next game).

Just crushing. They don't get any worse than that.
At least college football is ending in five years anyway, so who cares I suppose.

meh bummed but mostly because i think we were pretty objectively the better team tonight and kept shooting ourselves in the feet. tons of drops, turnovers, penalties, overall lack of discipline. the defense let up at the end but how much can we reasonably expect from them? ps second guessing is easy in retrospect!
At least he didn't go for the punt on 4th down!
Basketball school with a football problem???

We left 13 points on the board (okay, the refs were responsible for 7 of those). Do that on the road in the B1G and you're going to lose, even against Indiana.

I feel absolutely gutted. Literally. Gutted. My insides spilled out onto the ground. Fuming to the extent that I can’t possibly go to sleep.
5-7 here we come. Shoot me now.

That game was maddening... But I'm not on the doomer train. This is nowhere near as bad as we've been..

Yeah I agree. If we play the same game 10 times I think we win 7/10. Just not tonight

Martin O'donnell said it best when he said Illinois is doing everything we can to lose this game........
Not taking a FG instead going on 4th and 1 looks pretty bad now....
Chase Brown with 199 yards rushing.........
IW with 119 yards receiving..............
AND WE STILL LOST...........
I will be 420'ing till the wee morning hours.......................
HOW IN THE F**K DID WE LOSE THIS GAME.......
Yeah , I know.............dropped passes , costly penalties and inept officiating..........The awful call on the apparent TD reception by Hightower in the first half.....
It was just said on the radio we shot ourselves in the foot .......Look's to me like we blew our head off..................
