Game Thread: Illinois at Duke

[BTYBILL]

What's up with Elzy?

 

[The pop of Champaign]

Feeling much better obviously. Making teams pay for mistakes is an important identity trait!

 

[TheChief4Life]

Is Hank Beatty the early favorite for big ten player of the year?

 

[illinoistradition]

I’m guessing just about everyone thought he was going to pitch it to Altmyer and then he’d get sacked. Beautiful play call!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I'm not worried at all about our receiving crew.

I am a bit to be honest. I really like Beatty and Bowick as well as Dixon's blocking, but outside of that, I think we need one more guy to step up.

 

[blife]

Step on their throats now, 3 and out please

 

[sacraig]

Are we a big play team? I like when we're a big play team.

I like when we are equally capable of big plays and grinding it out. Versatility is how you win a lot. Being a one-trick pony is how you get blown out by USC at the Rose Bowl.

Lunney I have been giving you crap about your play calling. That was a heck of a call Mr. O coordinator and we'll executed

Love to hate him, hate to love him.

 

[phats22]

Best block I’ve seen Feagin make! Awesome play call, Lunney!

This game is playing out exactly as I expected.

 

[CDRUSN]

Beatty and Bowick are deadly weapons! The wisdom was that our running back room was deep, but the receivers were unproven. May have to recalibrate that, although I believe our running game will get better as the season rolls on.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I'd REALLY like to see our defensive line disrupt SOMETHING. This relying on insanity to occur.....still a quarter and a half left.

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

What! He isn't perfect but he needs time. He has thrown some darts.

Oh, for sure, I meant more that he has made some odd decisions or had errors that seem off for him in general compared to other games. Didn't mean to make it sound like he was bad all day my bad

 

[MajorNathanMaxwellJanice]

time for all you contrarian ninnymuggins to get with the program

 

[WeWillWhen]

 

[Old.Edgy]

What's up with Elzy?

That early fumble will haunt his playing time ...

 

[skyIdub]

Barry Lunney Jr. You mad scientist, you.

Franken….Barry?

 

[pruman91]

HB TD !!!!..................Illini extend our lead now to 28-13 late 3rd quarter.......keep churning the butter Illini......the cream is rising to the top .........................we ain't ranked # 11 for nothing...........we really really ain't.............

 

[NarrowJ]

7-108 and a 25 yd rushing TD midway thru 3q

Edit: 133 all purpose yds and zero of that from returns

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Beatty spending of that NIL at the tattoo parlor

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Still have not seen a blitz…

 

[madillini4]

Missed a hold there. Sheesh.

 

[skyIdub]

Tackle practice please and thank you.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

This LB play has been bad.

 

[BDMAN]

Henry, Henry lets shore up our defense please!!!!!
