Game Thread: Illinois at Indiana

[BrownTown]

Dude....Patrick Mahones would get killed. Have realistic expectations. There are 11 men on offense and they gotta block and get open.

You're absolutely right. But watch his head go down and his body shrink after 1 step back. He is going defensive immediately

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Can’t even imagine the outrage if this happened to Underwood.

I mean, that Duke game happened.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

IU will try to hang 80 on us. Its who Cignetti is. Either suck it up and make some plays or you will have one for the record books, fellas.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Tell me you want to watch flag football without telling me.

The receiver caused the targeting to happen be his actions. He lowered his head.

 

[Class_of_2020]

The doomers were right??? (Per usual)

 

[Mistakenj]

I just had a bad feeling about this game when we struggled with Western Michigan and Duke is not as good as we thought.

 

[BashCtIllini]

Man do we need a lucky bounce here.

We got one. Our only positive play of the night was a completely broken defense that got us a walkin TD.

 

[Neidermeyer]

We are bad tackling.

 

[Illini4Christ]

We might need to start the “BARGE” if our o-line can’t get a handle on their assignments.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Team has mailed it in. Gets ready for USC.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

I did not think Mac was this much worse than Scott wow

 

[Keisersose]

This is way worse than oregon. That final score was 38-9, which included us turning down 3 points 3 or 4 times in the second half.

Well fortunately this game and the Oregon game both only count as one loss. My point was we are getting abused and need to put it behind us and show up next week.

 

[…INI!]

Gabe needs benched

He watched as he ran by.

 

[Oracle21]

I think the Purdue game last year was worse and that was a win.

Indiana is just this much better.

 

[Illinisnake]

Is it bad that I thought this would be a close game? The oline looks like they are in high school

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Maybe IU is really good? As much as we'd hate to say it...

 

[superfan]

#8 just ran right by an unblocked Jacas.

 

[gary?]

Most disappointing effort in the BB era

at virginia? home against msu in 2022? purdue last year?

 

[Witherspoon_illini]

Looks like big noon kickoff is going to boulder once for all

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

I mean, that Duke game happened.

And I remember the outrage

 

[OB positive]

Luke is the most accurate passer and strongest arm we have had since he has been here. The problem is he usually has to have plenty of time to make his throws. Too bad he has picked up nothing from Devito or Paddock as far as getting the ball out quicker or pocket awareness.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Oregon had the better team last year by far, this game is 100% on the Illini, Indiana is no Oregon but we’re making them look better than the Ducks.

 

[Scoregasm]

I mean we go to PSU last year and gave them a tough game....and we piss all over ourselves against big bad indinia...wtf?

 

[Battle89]

IU will try to hand 80 on us. Its who Cignetti is. Either suck it up and make some lays or you will have one for the record books, fellas.

I think you meant ‘plays’ but I first read it as you wrote and thought you were advising second half wagering

 

[therealmiket86]

We are bad tackling.

Bad angles and not wrapping. We’ve been out of place all game
