Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[CDRUSN]

Never wrestle in the mud with a pig. You both get filthy, and the pig likes it. Iowa loves these mud wrestling matches, as their offense struggles mightily. The Illini need to find a way to open the field up some, mount some drives, and ideally get some turnovers. If we could get up by 10 (a tall order), I think Iowa would be finished.

BU with an upbeat report on the Illini BB squad......Says they are more than ready to scrimmage against somebody else ...................We are very lucky to have 2 coaches in the big revenue sports that represent the beloved with class and confidence.....................

Alright , let's shut the squwaks down on their first possession of the second half and take control of this hard hitting game.......limit our turnovers and get a couple from the squwaks and win this sucker !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop the TEs and you stop their offense. They won't score again if we can figure that out.

I’d rather not see Art taking on defensive backs shoulder to shoulder and the second half.

And if we don’t turn it over in our red zone.

With the way our defense is playing this feels like an Iowa team we put away by 10-14 with DeVito.

IW needs to call for a fair catch

 

[madillini4]

LaPorta and Leshon Williams are both from Illinois. Neither held offers to Illinois.

Something tells me ole Bret has a few tricks up his sleeve that we’ll see this half.

Martin O'Donnell just called the Illini defense a "" Pack of Hyena's ""

BRING OUT THE BARGE

 

[IlliniForceOne]

It is pretty incredible just how important the QB position is.

 

[RonC]

This game is winnable if we quit making mistakes

We’re back to the “shoot ourselves in foot Illini!”

 

[illinidarrin]

Our offense is horrible without Devito. I don't know how we win this on offense.?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Throw throw throw throw throw.....

 

[RML]

They are gonna block a punt on us.

 

[illiram11]

is isiah williams scaring anyone else? can he let one bounce on a punt?

 

[superfan]

Would be helpful if the D could also score a few points.

 

[mikeyo]

Who gave Art permission to throw the football?

 

[bjp84]

Need special teams or D to score to win.

 

[illinoistradition]

Penalty crushed any chance of that drive.

Also, Hugh has to get that kick off quicker. They are going to block one at this rate.
