Game Thread: Illinois at Washington

[BWBW]

Oh my

 

[Pikeillinifan]

The perfect ending.

 

[UDillini]

Disgusting to waste Luke and an offense that can compete.. Henry must go.. just impossible to win games when you can never get off the field

 

[Oracle21]

Mac you gotta block the kick not tackle the punter

 

[GallopingGhost]

Reseitich my god…

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Lol how does he miss the ball!?!???

Missed it by a mile!

 

[phats22]

you could hear the block?

 

[TampaToo]

Not a well coached team.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Bad coaching….

 

[RDS]

Is it legal for teams that play us to break out a kegger on their sideline? They should probably petition the ncaa to allow that when playing us.

 

[Retro62]

Stupid plays = stupid coaching

 

[hiberto]

who would think we had what, 16 starters returning? i know X has been out but it certainly doesn't look like an experienced group. all of these losses have been by wide margins and a lot of issues with penalties

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Frustrating loss

 

[Iamgroot]

Well i guess 1 upside of this game we didn't waste our timeouts in the first half like always smh. Very disappointing day today fr

The “how” is importsnt for many of us. The total and utter collapse of a tough defensive identity since 2022 and especially since last year has been breath taking.

Walters departed. We haven’t had high quality at DC since. Aaron was a project. He’s depleted in talent because of injuries but it appears he’s not the guy we need.

We returned 16 starters from a good team and we have.. a good team. Defense took a step back. But we’re not great

We had basically all our guys today except Xavier and Tomiwaje and…. We suck

 

[Illini-Rule]

3rd and 11, how are they going to get the 1st down this time?

 

[Da88]

My hotel booking for the Music City bowl is looking more likely.

 

[kyillinifan]

Yes Butt we know they are a young team

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Defense is averaging 39.6 pts per game given up in B1G play, should this score stand…

 

[joeybcrazy13]

Overrated.... out coached.... out playyed.... just sad really

Our approach to defense is on Henry, but it’s not like Bret doesn’t buy in and support the approach. This is a bigger failure than Henry going rogue and not having buy in on the game plan.

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

That sums it up perfectly
