Game Thread: Illinois vs Virginia

[GallopingGhost]

Our defense has been amazing but I feel confident in declaring that UVA is hot garbage

Their offensive line is getting so much rest and it’s still like wet tissue paper

Why wouldn't you let that drop on 4th down rather than catch it for an interception downfield?

Intrinsic value in an interception that fires up the team. Worth sacrificing a few yards in field position when you’re up 21 in the 4th.

Wiscy just went down to Wazzu. Good day.

I’d accuse Virginia of points shaving but nobody would make it this obvious.

Dear Mr Announcer, It's "dink and dunk" not "dink and donk". Also it's Rooks, not Rocks.

The Virginia offense brought a slingshot to a grenade launcher fight. Illini defense is just smothering.

I need our coaching staff to teach how to avoid holding and blocks in the back penalties, please

 

[GallopingGhost]

Any reason we aren’t seeing chase brown?

Resting him. Long season ahead

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Be careful DeVito.

 

[InDaAZ]

Do we have anyone else who can kick a fig?

you're kidding, right?

 

[Coop70]

At least I can watch other games today without a sense of unworthiness.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Virginia putting on a clinic today of showing why "skill players" mean jack when your o-line stinks.

 

[Tbear90]

We need a huge drive to score 7 points. It would mean a lot for our confidence we are not scoring in the red zone

 

[BWBW]

Nice pass

 

[pruman91]

We've had 4 turnovers and more cramps than Octo-mom today ........................we really really have..........

And we lead by 21 points.........................

 

[PassingBy]

hmmmmm .....West seems wide open

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Would love to see some Aidan Laughery.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Wiscy just went down to Wazzu. Good day.

Clean up (a lot of) mistakes and we can compete in that game

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Hey! Look at that! A really solid punt!

 

[ILLFAN67]

you're kidding, right?

No he’s not

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Time for Sitkowski.

 

[Tbear90]

Where is Chase Brown? Cramps aren't that serious. ?? 1 player we cann6 be without.

I can't help but question the "conditioning" part of "strength and conditioning" for the Illini. I don't know if UVA is having the same cramping problems but if they aren't then Tank needs to answer for why our guys are going through this. It isn't 95 degrees out. We should be able to handle this.
