Game Thread: Illinois vs Ohio State

[EmeraldCityIllini]

infuriating year. Can just never get all things working at once. I actually liked the pass pro today and idk what else to ask of the defense (I know some disagree, but maybe I’m just wrong)

Yet those two units played fine, and I think our skill guys didn’t and two pretty ridiculous mistakes on the punt and Jacas jump.

And it's 4 turnovers. The punter on a knee is basically a "turnover".

Read the room, dude

 

[wma500]

No, not /s. That was in NO WAY an offsetting penalty. Let me guess, you are a ref?

Not a ref. At any level. Just an Illini fan.

That certainly looked like a false start, lol

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

We certainly haven’t gotten friendly spots today either.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

At least they’re running some clock.

 

[TentakilRex]

Time for window dressing TDs....

 

[FloridaMan]

Hope we are scouring the portal for some defensive backs. Goodness

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Maybe we can score here and keep it respectable.

Defensive line, too.

Illinois is in the exact same spot as last season as a program. Let’s see if they can get to 8-9 wins again

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Yeah, covering a Top 10 pick ain't easy, that's for sure. Man, we've shot ourselves in both feet today

 

[BWBW]

Pride time, now for the offense.

 

[RML]

Defensive line, too.

D line was good today.

 

[pvaughn8]

I'd say playoffs officially out of question now. At least when we lose another game it won't break my heart

 

[FloridaMan]

Stay healthy and build some confidence for the remainder of the season here. It's still all in front of us!

 

[CDRUSN]

All that's left now is to play for pride, and learn from our mind numbing repetitive mental blunders. Finish strong, and build on the basis we never gave up and just rolled over. Spotting OSU 21 points on turnovers was way too much to overcome.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Gorgeous throw by Luke there to Rusk

 

[FloridaMan]

False start! lol. Where was it?

 

[hiberto]

you move one millimeter and its a false start

 

[altgeld88]

This game was winnable for us. That’s what’s so frustrating about the mistakes. OSU is not the terror they’ve been sold as.

 

[FloridaMan]

Unless you slap somebody apparently
