Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

Let a four yard pass pick up a 3rd and 11. Yikes.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

I legitimately think if it’s third and long and the offense completes a pass short of the sticks and get the first down before touched, it should be automatic grounds for the DC being fired

 

[BrownTown]

Get your hands up DL...

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

We are playing poorly on D again

 

[Curbelo Fanboy]

Gonna be one of those games. Like 13-9 or something.

 

[FloridaMan]

Disgusting. So frustrating. This pedestrian offense is making our D look like a high school team. I will beg again, BB. Make a change!

 

[illiram]

We seriously got the bottom of the barrel cameraman crew. Let's hope we don't have the referee crew that will cost us as usual....

 

[Mr. Roberts]

1st down - big gain.
2nd down - loss
3rd down - gift yardage and 1st down.
Repeat.

Defense is atrocious. The last thing the pregame commentator said was that we need to set the edge better. So far we haven’t done so. And the quarterback averages 10 yards per quarter in his career and has 11 yards on his first pass against us. Get it together!!!

 

[BrownTown]

Aaron Henry can make a bad offense look good.

 

[New Creation]

2 for 2 on 3rd down now

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Sigh.

 

[BT262]

Can’t stop them

 

[IlliniWatcher]

Not happy hearing Luke throw a pick the opening series. Is it the 40-degree temps?

 

[ChiTown]

Same lousy defense every game.

We have to be the worst 3rd down defense in the conference. Another soft zone and they get 12 yards

 

[Ramrod2010]

Smith has more passing yards in one attempt than he did in 12 attempts against Washington.

 

[BDMAN]

Henry has got to be demoted nice guy but he is in over his head as D coordinator

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

we give up 3rd & longs like clowns give out candy at parades

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Repeat.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Thea announcers are employed by the big ten network, right? They should be able to pronounce ILL-I-NI correctly….

 

[New Creation]

3 for 3 on 3rd down.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

We are letting a freshman chew our D up.

 

[FloridaMan]

Same thing every damn game. Rush 3 and still give up chunks of yards on short passes because we don't cover anybody until they get 7 yards off the line of scrimmage.

 

[illinidarrin]

And they don't have a good offense folks.....
