Game Thread: Illinois at Washington

[Second place is 1st loser]

We've done a lot of dumb, even pathetic, things today, but you can't control the bounce of a ball. It popped right back up to him.

 

[RML]

Gonna go make an offering to the turnover fairy

 

[Scoregasm]

Well, it will be very easy to look back and find the places we let it….slip…out of our hands.


Too soon?

Just one of those games.....and of course it's the one that will knock us out of the cfp...so Illinois.

 

[BZuppke]

Dangerous moment here. We can not let them drive and score.

 

[abchew2]

We are buillding a lot of coulda, woulda, shoulda in this game, huh.

Seems to continue the trend from our last game

 

[CDRUSN]

Sure would like to see a game turning pick six here by our secondary. The linebackers though have hands like feet, so I don't expect it from them.

 

[Todd99]

With the dropped INT and just missing that fumble recovery, the defense is due to catch a break here. I feel a big play coming up.

 

[phats22]

seriously. make a tackle. why are we so terrible on 3rd down?

 

[Oracle21]

UW really has a beautiful campus from the shots on BTN

 

[Pikeillinifan]

For f sake.

 

[illinidarrin]

This game could turn here real soon. If we give up another easy TD, that might be it. The momentum is pretty much gone after the ending the first half.

 

[RML]

Should had 'em

 

[NashvILLe05]

Bailey should have stopped him in the backfield

 

[Mr. Roberts]

We are not CFP worthy with this defense.

 

[Retro62]

We do not wrap up

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

That third down conversion epitomizes our D

 

[aaeismacgychel]

You have got to make the freakin tackle. I mean you had him dead. Make the bloody tackle

 

[blife]

Have we had 1 TFL today

 

[Jimbo]

Man, had him stopped on that 3rd down play

 

[phats22]

is it only raining for our offense? they seem to be fine

 

[Iamgroot]

Gonna go make an offering to the turnover fairy

Please make 2

 

[TheChief4Life]

Have we had 1 TFL today

Neither team has. There’s been no negative yardage plays for either team.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Does Jacas still play for us? Or is today his Halloween version of a disappearing act?

 

[madillini4]

Our best defensive play was when that tight end dropped what would have been an easy first down.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

I mean 9-3 would be a good year, but losing this when it’s in our hands to win would be brutal.
