Game Thread: Illinois at Indiana

[Indy Illini Fan]

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

We lost by 60 because Miles Scott got ejected …

Didn’t help … But let’s be realistic here …

Absolute FAILURE … Across the board …

Fortunately, this only counts as one loss.

You don't make the CFP after this, I'm sorry. You have to win out. (And that's not happening)

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

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

And will be getting clowned on Big Noon next Saturday …

Yay …

 

[Illinifan533]

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

So what, from being ok to being elite? Disappointing, but if we only finish 7-5 or 8-4 that will still be progress for the program, but I guess that's not enough for the Crying Illini part of the fanbase.

Awful loss but this is an overreaction

You’ve apparently not watched the last 30 years of Illinois football.

This was 1995 Michigan x 10.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Players didn't show up. Bielema & staff straight up pantsed by Cignetti & staff.

I didn't see a team ready to play, hell even hang, with the big boys tonight.

 

[Simeonriceburner99]

Look at the brightside. We got the Bears tomorrow.

 

[Battle89]

Down goes Cox

 

[chief]

looks like we are a. bit overrated

 

[Captain 14]

Can they get 70?

Only thing that will stop them is the clock

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

Like I said before, 8 wins is possible. 8 wins gives us the best 4 year stretch in HISTORY.

I think that is the entire starting secondary from this year now

Both sides of the line have been absolutely manhandled. I tip my hat to Indiana () but I can’t fathom how it’s been this bad. Did they all go out drinking last night?

You lose like this and you aren’t going 7-1 the rest of the way that’s for sure.

Holy cow, Cox hurt now too? We are going to not have a single DB for USC next week. I do not get this whatsoever

I can see it now: Indiana is really good… but they still haven’t played anybody good.

Is it Coleman’s birthday already?

Geis may want a refund

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.

Thanks. But not quite true either. I have three Hawkeye brother-in-laws who won’t ever forget. They’ve been texting me all night!

 

[casemeau]

Okay, I’m beginning to get a little worried that we’re running out of time to come back and win this game.

 

[HailtotheChief]

i felt like this was going to be a bad night when they lined up to punt on 4&1 in the first half and we had to call a timeout to get the right players on the field.

absolutely knew they'd go for it after that and scored a few plays later

the blocked punt was rough but thye responded quickly, that next drive was deflating

when we pick up a key 1st down at our on 2 and get a bone head hold and unsportsmanlike to go along with losing our captain and green dot and 3rd or 4th db I knew we were in deep crap. 0 got exposed alm9st right away on 3 straight plays out of postion taking over for Miles Scott Also I U has a great D line because these same 5 guys didn't look like this bad ever last year.

Fortunately, this only counts as one loss.

Unfortunately this type of loss often snowballs into many more. You think USC isn't licking their chops? Then we go to Purdue who always plays up for us, then Ohio St. Our confidence is GONE after this one I'm afraid. Staff has their work cut out for them. I'm confident in BB, but my confidence stops there.

 

[One5Prairie]

Told my buddy this is game shows where we are at...

 

[Illini4Christ]

Indy, have you had a chance to talk to Josh yet this evening?

Ehh donation is probably also a hearty tax write off. He’ll be fine!
