Game Thread: Illinois vs Western Illinois

[dsg]

I was hoping to see 3rd and 20, not working their way down field getting 1st downs.

Really good rush there

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great tackle

 

[sacraig]

Lol here we go

I added the caveat!

Jacas looks super slimmed down...

VG play by Cox.

Ran a pick, got called for it, and didn't get the first anyway.

This was a repeat of Eastern Illinois first drive on us last year then they turned it over. It's going to be a great season!!

 

[LFOD]

Okay, let’s see this Illini O line go to work.

 

[Class_of_2020]

Defensive line is going to hold this team back from being special. They stink

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

I've missed game threads. They make me feel like the calm one.

 

[BrownTown]

Surprised how effective these screens have been

Game plan seems very similar to what Oregon did to us last year. That I can live with...being driven back up the middle is

I know people are panicking already, but playing assignment football against the motion and quick game requires patience. If we unleash the defense and they gash us, you'd be in full meltdown.

 

[kyillinifan]

I was going to say the same thing about EIU drive.

 

[PopChampaign]

Give it some time, let em gel.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Looks like Elzy won the X job...

Who's panicking?? LOL

Beatty is going to be a beast this year

 

[LFOD]

Beatty building his Heisman resume

 

[biglug58]

Beatty put on some muscle

 

[FloridaMan]

Announcer thinks that ball was uncatchable? Like, what???? It would have been a TD without the INT..

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Yeah, you either DPI there or give up the TD. He was beat

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

No not priestly...

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Not good at all.
