Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[Mr. Roberts]

Man, Purdue is not covering anyone in the flat.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Mr McCray having a fun day

 

[SuperMetroid]

Now score after the half and put them out of their misery

 

[illinidarrin]

This is what i expected.

 

[LJ22]

Alright, I'll stop complaining now lol. Just frustrating because it feels like we are so close to being a good to great team instead of a solid team.

Lunney still frustrates me a ton, but this season I'm so much more worried when we are on defense. We either intercept the ball or let them run 12+ yards. Feast or famine.

 

[Battle89]

Onside kick?

Of sorts!

 

[KBLEE]

 

[LFOD]

9 pass yards…

 

[pruman91]

TD JM x2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......24-3 Illini..................more , please we want more............we really really do......................

 

[illiniharrison]

9 passing yards in a half is a bad look

 

[illinidarrin]

It's amazing on how we keep get fooled by that same play.

 

[dsg]

On pace for a 48 - 3 win
Let's make that happen

 

[CDRUSN]

It only took us half a game to cover the spread. Let's make some second half adjustments to put a hurtin' on their QB, Stretch McCrazylegs.

 

[derrick6]

I would take 34-6 victory. I really, really would.

Make that 48-6

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

These are worse than the basketball game threads. We're up 24-3 and you'd have no idea by reading this thread.

At least basketball can turn on a dime. The odds of Purdue's offense scoring 24 points in a game is almost zero.

We also just held a team to 9 pass yards in a half.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

The dam has completely broken. Avoid injuries and practice stopping the run in the second. Unlike Purdue, Michigan will force us to stop their run game before they start throwing.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Purdue with 9 passing yards. But on the other hand they really established that QB keeper.

 

[Fighting I 95]

Great ending to the half and some really nice playcalling and playmaking by the offense

 

[DeeAndDWill]

You’re playing your backup QB. You’re down 24-3. At your own 25. With 19 seconds left in the half.

Why in the hell would you run a play and force the backup QB to take another hit. Just absolute stupidity on PUs part.

 

[skyIdub]

Literally playing against a high school offense.

 

[RML]

So, what's the record for the longest successful onsides kick?

I am getting about 2 hours of sleep a night with this first week of baby Yosiah. It’s making me so emotional lol. I apologize guys. I’ll be better.

 

[LFOD]

Make that 48-6

 

[sacraig]

Well that is a half ending nobody had on their Bingo card.

Is it? Most people who aren't Illinois fans probably expected us to win handily. It's just all of us used to our team laying an egg that figured we would, well, lay an egg.
