Game Thread: Illinois at Washington

[illiram]

So we are going to put ZERO pressure on their QB today? Why not?? Does Bret have the ability to override our DC if he does not have the ability to adjust?

 

[BDMAN]

The poster that said we are slow was spot on we should have stop tge last play no gain

 

[Deep]

Defense = shredded cheese

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Can we at least make them work a little?

 

[Oracle21]

We had that bottled up and Coleman just outran our guys. This is looking like the Indiana game

 

[logjam]

Not elite...some might say...

 

[chadbrochill420]

Not even remotely close

 

[Iamgroot]

So this is the defense we get after a bye this is getting bad quick

 

[FloridaMan]

So much for the gameplan. Time to do something, anything different on defense. I mean this is just inexcusably bad.

 

[IlliniFandom]

This is going to be a long game

 

[HailtotheChief]

We are gonna get curb stomped

It's early..get a td

 

[bleedorange and blue]

Cool,now let's go get 3 more. Defense?

 

[The pop of Champaign]

What a decision to keep Henry on staff

 

[LJ22]

I know it would. Cool,to make an appearance in the playoffs, but does anyone really think we’re a playoff caliber team? I mean, really?

I'd take a warm weather bowl with this defense...

 

[IlliniInCAN]

Zero pass rush… they need to spend big on the d-line. There is no secondary in the world that can cover with pressure from the front 4. Jacas is non-existent this season.

 

[BZuppke]

They’re going all IU on us.

 

[skyIdub]

So we took to weeks off. Literally.

Awesome.

 

[phats22]

What is going on with this defense …

the d game plan was written in erasable marker and it got wet? yeah, thats probably it

 

[LFOD]

Luke, you are our only hope

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Well, we saw right there why the corners give cushion. They're bad. Can't get a pass rush with your front four and your corners are terrible, in general. That's a really, really bad combination.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Henry isn’t the guy, as much as I’d love him to be, he isn’t up to the task.

 

[Illini4Christ]

Defense = shredded cheese

Defense = Limburger cheese

 

[USAFILLINI]

We don’t make the next step until Henry is gone. This D is horrible

 

[LurkerintheOpen]

I knew henry was awful year 1. Somehow he has survived. Defense is both soft and undisciplined.

 

[Coop70]

This is going to be a long game

Not much longer.
