Poor tackling and the defense is gassed. Need a lot more depth.

 

[New Creation]

I knew they would run. Why would they pass there…

 

[bjp84]

Well, Bielema said we would play much better the second half. Hmmm….

 

[dsg]

Run 10 sec off the clock then kick a field goal.

 

[trtl]

We have not trailed the entire game

 

[Clngpl94]

At least we made it a game!! Great building block for next season!! #ILL

Where's the upside down orange koolaid guy

 

[BRucks]

Hopefully Henry doesn’t use the Indiana late game D.

We've got a FG block this season. Not a gimme.

 

[illinidarrin]

I am seriously P*ssed right now. what a horrible way to end the season.

 

[New Creation]

See you all next season.

 

[SescIllini]

They became much more aggressive than us in 4th qtr

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I am no football mind, but it just ALWAYS feels like our D loses its tenacity on these types of drives. I’d rather lose on an 80-yard TD pass where we tried to blitz than death by a thousand cuts where they run down the clock.

 

[PassingBy]

Oh well

Solid season all around.

Bit of a sour taste to lose this one, though, and to lose 4 of our final 5.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Nice flop you !!!!!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Classy number 2.

Way to stay positive.

Say what you want, but this game is what our team was this year, and it was AWESOME! Yeah, some heartbreak, but what a ride! We lost every game by one score, and won some that way too.

We’re going places!

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

can we put our 6’8” danish guy in here to block ?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Randolph with the block here.

 

[BZuppke]

They won the 2nd half. We didn’t threaten a score.

 

[illiram11]

I feel a block coming....guaranteed.

 

[Boomauer]

Horrible linebacker play on that long run up the middle. Took 2 steps to the left then just stood there..absolutely no awareness or effort.
