Game Thread: Illinois vs South Carolina

[TheChief4Life]

Ugh… predictable first down play.

 

[CDRUSN]

The Illini are playing very aggressively, with a huge chip on their shoulders. Stay angry, and earn that chicken dinner tonight. Huge fun game to watch.

 

[Leelnd]

Run right into the middle on 1st down again.

 

[LarryGotFouled]

Can we please pass the ball on first down occasionally??

 

[TheodoreRex]

LOL, we come out as aggressive as you possibly can be with the onside kick and then Lunney runs it up the gut on the first down call. I'd love to see us hit a 4 or 5 yard pass on 1st down and then run.

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Two pretty poor offensive series to start the second half by both squads.

 

[TGB]

My only request was don’t run up the middle on first down. Always 2nd and long.

 

[Epsilon]

If there was illegal motion by Tarkin shouldn’t have that play been whistled dead?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

These punts - smh.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Did our first string punter opt out?

 

[OrangeBlue98]

If there was illegal motion by Tarkin shouldn’t have that play been whistled dead?

No - illegal motion does not immediately blow the play dead like a false start does.

 

[thehass]

Where did we get this punter from?

 

[jimmy1illini]

Did our first string punter opt out?

Yes

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Did our first string punter opt out?

transfered

 

[Illini-Rule]

I bet there is a kid enrolled at U of I that punted in high-school that could punt better than this.

 

[IlliniSon]

Did our first string punter opt out?

Yes, he’s in the transfer portal.

 

[Carter Waller]

More Aidan please.

 

[Rooftop]

If there was illegal motion by Tarkin shouldn’t have that play been whistled dead?

No, not a dead ball penalty

 

[purcy51]

Wait, did he just say we were underestimated?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Can we please pass the ball on first down occasionally??

Back to two downs to get a first down...

 

[New Creation]

Mead looks afraid to tackle right now. All reach and no form. He needs to run through that man and keep his head up.

 

[LarryGotFouled]

comically inaccurate. and they talk about this guy instead of Luke???

 

[LFOD]

Sellers is no Altmyer

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Wait, did he just say we were underestimated?

I finally gave up. I didn't want to spend the time to sync up the Illini radio broadcast, so I just went to multiview for the LSU-Baylor game so I didn't have to listen to those guys slobber over the SEC team.
