Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[Illini-Rule]

When they send more than you have on the damn end of the line your 6'4" 245lb rb needs to be in postion to freaking block. Coaches had him in the right spot he just whiffed.

Yep, he looked surprised

I am sure the halftime adjustments will fix all the issues the board has identified

Camera issues also????

 

[and 69 others]

You have got to be kidding me with that punt

I thought he was all conference or something last year, no? How did he get so bad?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Punting has been such an issue over the years.

 

[FloridaMan]

Really pathetic effort with the exception of Rosiak, Hank, and Clement. That half of football was inexcusable. Embarrassing

 

[FantaIllini]

Just seems uninspired tonight

 

[SuperMetroid]

You have got to be kidding me with that punt

Been generally unimpressed with our Purdue transfer this year

 

[Pikeillinifan]

First time Wisky has scored points in the first and second quarter.

In Luke I trust. Our D and others needs to step up and I think Luke will have our back if they wake up.

Feagin was no help on that play. Arkin got walked but Feagin should have slid over to put a shoulder on the edge.

this dude from Iowa has talked about a 3-7 Wisconsin team all night, wtf

 

[derrick6]

What an absolutely undisciplined unprepared uninspired mistake ridden half of football.

Ending on a no gain run.

Bad first half, we need to wake up or it's an L

 

[BWBW]

This is pathetic

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

There is a lot going on to assume it's on Luke.

I think he's probably referencing the screens that were set up perfectly, but he put no touch on the ball and they both got batted down/almost picked.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

This is an abomination.

 

[The pop of Champaign]

TIME TO COACH

 

[Illini-Rule]

If that's what you are going to do, why not just take a knee

 

[AT6]

that was one of the worst halves of the year.

 

[illiram]

Our team wasn't prepared........period

 

[skyIdub]

Well that half was somewhere between a fart in an elevator, and a turd in the pool.

 

[CDRUSN]

Bret's gonna chew on some people at half time like a hungry pit bull with a new ox bone. Luke, Beatty, Clement, Rosiek, and a few others came to play, too many sleep walked through that half, especially on defense. Expecting much better after the break.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

OL coach and Bret will have questions to answer this off-season.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Honestly, the difference in the game has been special teams. A missed FG and a shanked punt on our end and a perfectly executed FG on theirs.
