Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn State

[doltmanns]

Lukey struggles with the long balls

Altmeyer is killing us.

Tell him to turn off his targeting computer and just trust the force. Or maybe put a blindfold on him.

3 TO in the 1st quarter. It’s like Illinois football can’t be good more than once every 10 years. Is it the curse of the galloping ghost ?

They put up a statue of Red, he should be happy!

 

[dbjm]

Welp, this was a fun game. I'll go about my day now.

Please do. Yay!

I got “upgraded” seat, but the internet here is terrible, so you get my 1st quarter notes at once since I can’t post throughout the game:

1. These seats are “Meh”. Great view, but the atmosphere here sucks. I miss my cheap seat horseshoe seats.

2. I am just not impressed with McCray. Maybe I’m missing something, but I have yet to see him really have a decent influence on any offensive drive at Illinois.

3. I’m sure others have said this, but that was easily Luke’s worst quarter at Illinois.

4. Finally, the defense has actually held us in this game. Let’s hope that stays true.

We went away from giving the ball to Love. He’s creating some separation.

If Luke throw a 3rd. Int. REPLACE HIM WITH ANYONE.

 

[LFOD]

Jacas!

Bailey down again. He’s up, but what did he miss time for again? And maybe he shouldn’t be out there yet.

 

[LoveLovie]

Did they jump the gun on Bailey? Not looking good with him down twice

 

[UCantHideYer]

Me thinks Kansas would whoop Penn St

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Penn St very beatable if we stop giving them the ball and just 10 yards to get in FG range

He was out with a foot injury, and hurt his shoulder making a tackle on the first play.

Thanks, that’s some tough luck

 

[BWBW]

Need another goal line stand!

Might want to poach that Kansas staff....

 

[Old.Edgy]

Defense spending too much time on the field... Offense sputtering... looks familiar...

 

[TheChief4Life]

10 points off turnovers this game. Wasn’t this a theme vs Toledo too?

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Considering the start, we have to be happy with it being 13-0.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

ugh

 

[Ghost77]

We are on the razors edge of this getting out of hand before half time. Need a scoring drive on this next possession.

 

[pvaughn8]

Considering the start, we have to be happy with it being 13-0.

Probably would be 10-6 if the offense wasn't sitting the bed

 

[illiram]

So snapping the ball with zero on the clock is ok now?

 

[SuperMetroid]

Offense needs to respond or this could get ugly fast

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Can we at least give the defense a few minutes rest? They have been on the field non-stop since the missed FG.
