Game Thread: Illinois at Washington

[Jon]

Lmao

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Good gracious

 

[phats22]

i need to stop watching at this point. they fumbled and converted a long 3rd down

 

[dsg]

Of course he gets a first down

 

[BWBW]

OMG

 

[CDRUSN]

That fumble run for a first down summarizes our defensive effort all game in one play.

 

[skyIdub]

THAT, is how this game should end.

This defense is disgusting.

 

[azillini1]

Wasn’t our defense considered one of the best in the country in 2022 or 2023?

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

The way this drive refuses to end is just *chef's kiss*

 

[Retro62]

Did our entire defense climb out of tiny circus car together?

 

[Gregjacksonfan]

I think Brett is a good coach. I think for the most part Lunney is a good OC. We have the resources to get a top notch DC in here. I hope this game opens some eyes

 

[eas23]

Are we really that injured for Week 9 of the season?

 

[Clngpl94]

He's stroked almost all of the egos on the Washington sideline...

 

[phats22]

it doesnt matter, but for anyone watching with this recorded, go back to the punt and just listen to the kick. i swear he didnt block it based on the double tap sound but obviously didn't see it on video

 

[thehass]

I hope we don't have another bye week.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Sure, why not. Nobody within 5yds of the play so another 3rd and double digit conversion

This group of guys overachieved to go 10-3 last year, a lot of things went right for them in close games. They can still have a similar season if they win out with the relatively weak schedule ahead. Bielema has done so much to improve things but as fans we get greedy and want more. Still a big talent and coaching gap between Illinois and the indianas, oregons, OSU’s, Washington’s…

Media needs to ask some tough questions

I hope we don't have another bye week.

This might be our bye bye week.

Yep we need better players and a better DC to take the next step

 

[Illini-Rule]

They can win out, but the defense is going to have to improve greatly for that to happen.

 

[altgeld88]

I couldn’t watch the game until late in the 3Q and I feel sick.

 

[New Creation]

Can we fire Henry yet?
