Game Thread: Illinois at Oregon

[Fighting I 95]

Just make sure no one gets hurt and we learn so we dont play like this next week or we will get beat by minnesota.

 

[illinidarrin]

Just get out of this game healthy and hope our confidence isn't shot.

Just not much you can do here. When you're outclassed in talent like we are in this game, you have to outwork, outscheme, and flat out outplay your opponents. Sadly we haven't even gotten off the bus yet to even allow the possibility if any of that.

100 percent. Not playing like we have nothing to lose.

This is what #6 versus #63 in the 247 Team Talent Composite looks like when you don't have a dramatic coaching advantage to mitigate it.

Different level.

this is it really. The ceiling will be forever capped on this program unless you start getting some dudes

Seemed that Luke fumbled that. Didn’t get a great replay in stadium.

He did, though I do think forward progress is a fair call as he was already wrapped up and moved 3yds back before the fumble without fighting it

 

[Jimbo]

Maybe they’re just better than us.

 

[hiberto]

soon they're going to have more first downs than we have pass yards

 

[FoundersClub]

This is something.

OUTMATCHED

This is a opportunity to learn IMO. Do I like getting blasted no way. CoachB and all his strengths, gotta upgrade coaching staff and players at all levels. I believe in him and hope his loyalty to his boys doesn't effect taking next step. We and NIL have gotta put more into to getting players like Myson Johson Cook of Decatur Illinois now Desoto tx..
This stadium design and the uniforms are phenomenal.
Turf field is designed below stadium so all fans are on top of field and thundering down.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

embarrassing

 

[LFOD]

This is something.

Good summary

 

[FloridaMan]

Inexcusable play by the D today. Just cannot have it after a huge bounceback game by them last week. Embarrassing performance so far.

 

[LJ22]

soon they're going to have more first downs than we have pass yards

Soon they're going to have more touchdowns than we have pass yards.

 

[pvaughn8]

Alright offense, give me a reason to keep watching

 

[fklein]

We cannot tackle.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Terrible, terrible non-readiness to play the #1 team this week. Michigan game hangover for sure. Better get our heads straight for Minnesota.

We're playing the #1 team in the country on national TV. There's no hangover here.

Oregon is a legitimate national championship team, they are insanely fast and they have NFL players all over the roster. We have none of those things. We're outclassed from a personnel standpoint and that's ok. Have to take a step forward in the off-season with regards to recruiting.

 

[TyroneHogglegg]

This is going way beyond the spread I’m afraid. Sick play.

 

[Jimbo]

Checking basketball schedule to see if we play Oregon this year…..

 

[abchew2]

Disappointed I convinced myself we could beat that spread. Hope makes you do crazy things

 

[jayd]

Ready to fast forward to Sunday 11 am.

 

[pvaughn8]

Hey at least we didn't get skunked

 

[Scoregasm]

Bad news Bears type effort here.....someone check on Miles Scott.

 

[DeeAndDWill]

Well at least Henry is doing that super late substitution thing. World class on that.

 

[DERV64]

I think I'm going to prefer a 7-5 season and bowl game with a big12 or ACC team because we don't have much strength or athleticism and this is what a bowl game against almost any SEC team will look like.
