Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[eas23]

What do you mean? He was open on 3rd down on a really good o play call against the cover 2 Purdue ran….DeVito just sailed it.

A college quarterback threw an incomplete pass, so clearly we are unprepared and are going to lose.

That's the vibe I'm getting from this thread anyway.

It’s time to put a punt returner back there that is willing to catch punts.

 

[trtl]

We need a new punt returner.

 

[thehass]

Can no one catch a punt?

 

[BWBW]

Chase running, Chase catching, Chase scoring.

I van stand it as long as the Illini play isn't

It’s comic relief, really

This. Maybe Hank Beatty.
Also why week after week, do our opponents out punt us by at least 10 yards a punt. It kills our field position.

 

[BDMAN]

IW has to stop being afraid of going to catch the ball we lost 25 yards of field position on that indecision. Guess that is better than a turnover, but we need someone back there who will field the ball.

tricky wind today

Special teams has been a hot mess since the wind started blowing

This broadcast is so bad

Good riddance to ESPN.

Zero attempts to IW, not enough touches to Chase.

It was nice to see more attempts downfield though. Maybe it was just TD missing some open receivers.

TOP huge factor here

 

[PassingBy]

Where does our offense vanish to?

 

[pruman91]

Give Chase the ball , then IW on a sweep to the right and then hit Chase with a wheel right TD pass......OK ?.....please ??.....pretty please ???........

 

[redwingillini11]

What is Tommy doing out there?

 

[BDMAN]

Where has Tommy's accuracy gone?

 

[FloridaMan]

Did Devito spend the night at Kams last night?

 

[Pikeillinifan]

OK, maybe my perception of outsmarting ourselves has been TD missing open receivers.

Now punting into the wind, this could be a problem.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Devito picking the wrong game to be wild

 

[PassingBy]

Have we seen this scene before in an old movie?

 

[illini0440]

What is Tommy doing out there?

Where has Tommy's accuracy gone?

Thinking to much instead of just playing

 

[dbeverly26]

Offense looks awful right now

 

[PNWIllini]

Oof. Offense is not getting it done

 

[ohioillini77]

We stink on offense. Love these guys but can't watch anymore. Bad for the blood pressure.
