Game Thread: Illinois at Washington

[…INI!]

None of our defenders were even looking at Williams even after he was well passed the line of scrimmage lol. Just awful.

And when they do they bounce off a 5’10 185 lb qb.

I would hate to see the stats on our success on d in 3d and 10 or more situations. Sure feels like it's less than 50 per cent.

These announcers are almost as bad as our defense …

Bet they can tackle better.

Tough, Smart, Dependable my @**

 

[bleedorange and blue]

Does our defense practice tackling or are they taught just run into someone?? Never wrap anyone up. Poor showing so far, here's hoping for a Luke miracle come back

Another bowl game. Continued growth as a program, and basketball starting in 9 days.

With our investment … 6-6 is flat out UNACCEPTABLE !!!!!!!!!!

3rd and 18?!!!!

So far, Clarke is the only one playing on defense

One team wants it the other team says here you can have it

The only silver lining today is that the Aaron Henry experiment is likely over.

This is the defense of a 2-10 team.

Can I try at defense coordinator?

 

[JKR]

We've given up.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Ok, we can drop the CFP nonsense. One more and we're bowl eligible. More realism needed and it has arrived.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Needed to keep them out of the endzone. Multiple opportunities to do it, couldn't get it done. This defensive performance has been disgusting

Their QB is a stud. There’s a reason UW is 22-1 at home since 2021

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

This is not a top 25 team.

I love where Bielema has gotten us to, but if Henry calls another defensive play for us, I’m not sure Brett can get us past this level.
