Week 1 Games

[jamie13197]

We have 1 maybe 2 NFL players on defense. Ohio State, has 8 atleast. My goodness every one picking us to beat them at home need to stay out of Marijuana stores!
I like our line and rotation. Linebackers better get better quickly. We are gonna miss Mr. JOSH MCcray massively. Super surprised by talent and depth at Wide receiver. Tanner Arkin will find a home on NFL roster next year, he is in great shape. Cole needs to knock rust off. Here's to getting better every week.
Go Illini!

This Arch Manning performance today:

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Northwestern looks abysmal.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Indiana fumble.

 

[Ander1345]

Texas had all off season to prepare for this game. Brutal, Arch looks unready but Sark hasn't helped him at all.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

IU kick off TD.

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

Texas-O$U getting good late

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Manning extremely inaccurate on two chippy throws costs them the game.

 

[mainlabs]

Manning Heisman hopes over.

 

[Piotyr]

Manning threw 30 passes today and maybe a dozen of them were on target.

Texas probably wins this game with a better QB performance, which ends up hiding how many yards OSU gave up in the 2nd half, and a shaky offensive performance of their own.

Keep in mind Arch manning is playing against Buckeyes defense that will have nearly all of them playing on Sundays next year. That defense is STACKED.

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

Old Dominion giving Indiana some headaches

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Texas is back!

 

[BrownTown]

Anybody else not buying the Arch Manning hype? He really couldn't beat out a 7th round pick in Quinn Ewers --who looked pretty darn abysmal today in his preseason debut. But, we are supposed to buy that he is this Heisman frontrunner (which is most lists right now).

Altmeyer is a better college quarterback as right now.
So is Allar and many others IMO. But ESPN has hyped this young man out realistic expectations.

He's got the name recognition, he has the Texas brand, a great roster --40 million plus worth I might add. But all I've seen when I watch him is a GOOD Quarterback.

Bump.

Texas wins that game with Altmeyer at QB.

Ohio State's defense got the 4th down stops when they needed, but did allow 4.5 yards per rush, got credit for just 2 passes defended, got 1 sack and just 3 credited pressures on Manning.

They'll get better for sure, but the real story of this game was the shaky QB play on both ends with new QBs that effectively kept yardage and points lower than they should have been.

Wish Ohio State was week 2

Boy, hope Duke and Indian's first game (half for IU) performances continue for a couple of games longer. Both underwhelming compared to how we looked IMO. Will still likely be very tough games, but games I will be disappointed if we lose.

I've been a slight lean toward us winning at IU, but this game has me a little more confident

I think we roll them, to be honest. We were better than them last year and we retained more than they did (and looked a lot better than they have so far today).

 

[Piotyr]

It would be the funniest result ever for Alabama to lose to Florida State after all the talk about how they're back and should have been in the playoff last year despite 3 conference losses and a bad bowl loss.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

maybe I’m overly optimistic , but i never ever saw us losing to Duke or IU this year

 

[FantaIllini]

Northwestern with a sad showing.. also sad that Leary is the backup at Tulane bc I rly thought he could have some success there.. that’s how it goes with the portal I guess

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Very impressed so far with FSU.

 

[Piotyr]

Watching a bit of Georgia-Marshall...

I know McCray has had a bout with illness in the preseason, but he's way down on the RB depth chart. 4 RBs have seen time so far in the first half, and the leading rusher is the QB, but no McCray yet.
