Game Thread: Illinois at Indiana

[Ryllini]

Can they get 70?

I don't know how you spin 70-10

 

[NoRival]

Bielema's worst loss at Illinois...for far.

No game plan.
No adjustments.
Simply pathetic.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

If Bailey's out Im done...

You don't.

Lol. Is the Pope Catholic?

I’m sorry, but, Illinois football is going to Illinois football. Last year was good, but outside of that this program has been a joke for two decades. Tonight is just another example why.

Games like this is why I don't blame any of the pessimists in the pregame thread

POTD

 

[aaeismacgychel]

i mean, i just checked the game chart and we have -8 yds this half......for real

-8yds honestly feels generous. I watched us lose 63-10 to PSU in person and this feels even more offensively futile somehow

 

[Ryllini]

You don't.

63-17 I could massage, 70-10 I've got nothing

I said we’re getting our doors blown off on the road by a top 25 team on the road with a short-handed defense.

Yes, having no defensive secondary is a major reason for that.

You’re 100% correct that our O-line has been a disgrace… but if our defense was complete, it would be more likely 27-10, or even 33-10. Which would be SIGNIFICANTLY less embarrassing.

But you can be right if that’s important to you.

Well, when the officials take out one of our DBs on a BS targeting call already down a player, what should happen?

 

[BrownTown]

Good thing Miles Scott got rejected earlier.

Least we'll have one healthy DB next week

Awful loss but this is an overreaction

If Bailey's out Im done...

Almost the whole secondary is going to be out…Somebody on the coaching staff is going to have to explain that.

 

[BatteredWifeSchwartz]

Insane Kennesaw State put up a better fight than we have

 

[krushalot2005]

We now have 2 yards rushing, quite the accomplishment

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

If Bailey's out Im done...

Concussion … 1000% …

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

What I’m saying is what difference does it make tonight. I was at that fantastic victory and will never ever forget it. It was incredible.

My bad if misinterpreted. Glad you got to be there.

The good news is, we (Illini faithful) will be the only ones who remember this by next year.

Like a broke !!! DJ.

The worst margin of defeat ever by an Illini football team occurred in 2018 when Iowa won 63-0, and in November 1906 when the University of Chicago also beat us 63-0. The only thing we are playing for at this point is not to hit a new all time low.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Illinois is going to be the punchline of a lot of jokes this week. Really disheartening.

 

[moonpies88]

Awful loss but this is an overreaction

Not really. Any chance we have to get us over the hump we fall

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

Fortunately, this only counts as one loss.

 

[1970 John]

It was 21 but point taken. We did have our dbs that game

No, only 14 points was on the defense. There was that pic-6. And remember that at the end of the first half we were a bad snap away from going into the locker room with 14-7 lead. Penn State looked bad on us but nothing like this.

 

[Juju]

Honestly, this feels even worse than the 2018 game against Iowa, solely because of where expectations are now. It was embarrassing back then, sure, but a win was never expected. Wins are expected now, which is good, and why this sucks so much more...
