Game Thread: Illinois vs Western Michigan

[Homecoming 2019]

They are sending an extra guy or 2 on every play, just give up on running it.

 

[Ryllini]

Barry you can't give it away like that on 3rd and 1.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Uninspiring offense so far.

We're going with a very vanilla playbook thus far

 

[Battle89]

Pick 6 coming to a theater near you.

Pick six better play calls than what we just did? Most here could do that.

 

[ChiTown]

Hopefully we’re not over looking this game…..

That was a terrible play call on third down. How many yards back was Feagin on that handoff?

Fitty tu...

 

[BDMAN]

Lunny what is your infatuation with these late developing players calls with Feagin early he dies not get the needed yardage he has little to no acceleration and unless there is a lane is tackled for little to no gain

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Where’s the play we ran to PB13 like 27 times vs Michigan where he cuts behind the los and is open for 2 yards every time?

Thus far this season I am a bit concerned that the experienced line we have can't seem to just lean on the defense to get a yd in obvious running downs. We're going to need to do that in B10 play

Hoping we just don't want to show Indiana our playbook this week.....but WTH so far! USC and Ohio State will take large leads if we start this slow....

That was an O-Line issue. That play was blown up before he even touched the ball. That said, your point about Feagin having zero burst is accurate.

My guess is that they want to establish the run because after last week, the questions and concerns are real.

 

[CentralILLini]

Looks like Josh Mccray game winning tuddy for Bulldogs.

Off topic, my bad.

 

[pruman91]

Feagin's burst is not happening....a lot slower than pre surgery....

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Wow what a throw and catch

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Eh, that's getting overturned

 

[Battle89]

Wow what a throw and catch

Not so sure

 

[biglug58]

Bowick questionable

 

[UCantHideYer]

I wanna see the play we got stopped on.

 

[BDMAN]

We took long to snap it should have done it sooner think they will overturn that

 

[Ryllini]

My guess they are just taking their time on the heat and will eventually abuse the depth of WMU. I hope.

 

[pvaughn8]

This game sucks so far

 

[biglug58]

Luke should not be taking these hits

 

[Mr. Roberts]

What is with the O-Line?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That's a bailout call for us.

So far our heralded offensive line has not been very herald.
