Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan State

[Pikeillinifan]

I used to freak out about these games, but regardless of the outcome we are a very good football team.

Let’s enjoy the season and know these kids are amazing to watch.

The future is bright for Illini football, who would have predicted a 7-2 record so far???

I thought Reggie Love had the 1st down on 3rd down???

Really perplexing play calls there. That said, OL has been bad today.

 

[CogDog]

We need to force a turnover.

 

[BDMAN]

Need to get off the field here

 

[GBIllini]

Kick the fricken field goal!!!

Let’s see what this D is made of . . .

To be fair, that ended when Purdue lost

Possibly but not necessarily.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

On a positive note we won’t lose our DC this year.

Why don’t you take points? I just don’t get it.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

One team has made plays when it counts. One hasn’t.

 

[BDMAN]

D is tired that last series on O might have taken the wind out of their sails

I thought Reggie Love had the 1st down on 3rd down???

I thought so initially, but on the replay it looked like his knee hit before he got there.

I think we just found out . . .

Did the refs just reset the playclock because the MSU player picked up the ball? Yeesh.

 

[bjp84]

We know they are going to run and still cant stop it

 

[ILLFAN67]

*******!!!!

 

[redwingillini11]

Painful performance.

 

[phats22]

cant help but wonder what the game would have looked like if we turned devito loose earlier.

 

[dbeverly26]

Just the slowest, saddest fart noise imaginable

 

[Retro62]

Defense getting carved up today…just one more stop…please

 

[RML]

With the wind, they're almost in field goal range, and that's the ball game

 

[FeelYourPaign]

We've lost games from this point. Time to win one!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Why don’t you take points? I just don’t get it.

It's against the wind and we have a very shaky kicker. Odds aren't good he makes a 40+ yarder against the wind
