Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[UCantHideYer]

Newton held. I need an easy button to key “held”

 

[sacraig]

Maybe we were just spotting them some points as a courtesy? Maybe?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great field position. Gotta turn this into points. Flip the table completely.

 

[dsg]

Great field position. Don't waste it.

I wish we were a stadium that didn’t think playing “sweet Caroline” is cool

A thread about alternatives could go on ad infinitum

Maybe we can play "Seven Nation Army" instead.

This has probably escaped the notice of most folks but I think we might miss Newton next year

The scary part for the NFL is that Newton can definitely get leaner, faster, and stronger.

Nah. We didn't miss losing half our defense to the NFL this year so why would we miss Newton and Randolph next year?

Definitely. Maybe he’ll fall to the vikings so I can still root for him.

Well, looks like they have had a change of heart and maybe they do want to go to a bowl game after all.

You guys are sad, long way to go in this game and we are still in it. Lets win

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Casey is having himself a hell of a game thus far

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Casey in beast mode this quarter

He reminds me a little bit of Myles Garrett (different position, I know). Just in terms of how relentless and disruptive he is and how dominant he is rushing the passer in the NCAA.

Oh yeah well where was this comment when it WAS sad?

 

[eas23]

No reason we can't generate chunk plays against this team.

 

[UCantHideYer]

CWFT!

 

[skyIdub]

Pass setting up the run now. Lunney is learning.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Good drive. Finish this off in the end zone

 

[CDRUSN]

Johnny Paddock is going to will us to win, with help from Washington, Williams, and Love. Need our D to step up and make a few more stops.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Great OLine blocking there…
