why ............Looking forward to basketball season.
for those who know better than me, i dont understand why the offense hasn't adjusted the game plan to assume poor O line play. There are ways to account for it, screens, roll outs, moving the pocket, quick routes, slants (like the first game)...but it doesn't seem we utilize these strategies constently.
worse, we keep running between the tackles even though we dont get any push.
am i way off on this? really would hope lunney can figure this out. also, play underclassmen and bench anyone underperforming; i think wilcher and feagin need more run
Yeah we won't be anywhere near that bad but okay.Waiting for 8 and 10 in conference and another loss to Mizzou ..........
I was so ready to graduate past this as a fan, but agreed.Looking forward to basketball season.
Northwestern thus far has played better than us this season. Indiana might be our best chance. They've looked just as bad50% with the NW game looming
Forgot that we play the HoosiersNorthwestern thus far has played better than us this season. Indiana might be our best chance. They've looked just as bad
Hope you are right, but that is what I thought last year .Yeah we won't be anywhere near that bad but okay.
Do you think this hurts our chances to go to a major bowl game?
That's my exact thought.....for those who know better than me, i dont understand why the offense hasn't adjusted the game plan to assume poor O line play.

We wont go to a bowl as poor as we played today. We need a major come to Jesus moment to turn it around.Do you think this hurts our chances to go to a major bowl game?
That’s where I’m at too, get the young kids more pt, if we’re going to lose big, we may as well develop the youngsters.I think this season is essentially over. I don’t think we can bounce back from this level of defeat.
I hope we continue to get some reps for the young guys, and then hit the transfer portal and assistant coaching market hard after this season is mercifully behind us.
I confess. I bought into the hype. I'm just totally deflated. I've been an all in Illini football fan for 60+ years. Always faithful and hopeful. I think it's about time to lay this burden down. It's simply too draining.I guess we sucks again.

I just hope that we don't have some of our promising youngsters transfer out............I'm all for playing the frosh more and keeping them here.....our incoming portal players has been underwhelming , at best......I think this season is essentially over. I don’t think we can bounce back from this level of defeat.
