Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[ILLFAN67]

Got lucky on the non pass interference

 

[RDS]

Yes!

 

[Naborman88]

Defense is fired up this half.

 

[FloridaMan]

Got one of those OSU PI no calls back there.

 

[Iamgroot]

Lol we got some home cooking on that no call but its about time we get that call at home alot of our games it feels like were playing away games

 

[BWBW]

What a defensive series!

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

We stopped them on 3rd and 17. Amazing.

 

[TooHot4Tots]

Jacas sighting

 

[illinoistradition]

Would have been nice to see Gabe force that fumble but still great to see some pressure brought. They have that QB running scared. Great to see!

 

[derrick6]

PI not called. Break for us

 

[skyIdub]

Hey, pressure works!

Are you available for a DC interview in Jan?

 

[TheChief4Life]

WHERE WAS THIS DEFENSE ALL YEAR!?!!?

 

[LFOD]

Obviously Henry read this board at half time

Only logical explanation for what we’re seeing here

 

[Coop70]

Looks like refs got a plane to catch. Bad miss.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Wait- Stone is just a below average QB when you pressure the hell out of him? Fun fact- QB from washington that we never pressured- he crumbled shortly after playing us when the other team.. pressured him...

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Need a TD here. Then I will breathe again.

 

[SuperMetroid]

We got away with one there

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Obviously Henry read this board at half time

I legitimately think he isn't calling plays. These last 2 possessions have looked nothing like the defense Henry has called all season

 

[zentrails]

I thought that was a penalty - illegal batting.

Someone correct me please…

Backwards so legal according to the announcers

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Kudos to the people that made the drive in the elements and actually showed up to the game.

 

[kyillinifan]

Got to score. No stupid plays.

 

[Ander1345]

I thought that was a penalty - illegal batting.

Someone correct me please…

Illegal batting if the ball is batted forward.

 

[RDS]

Time to break one Mr. Valentine

 

[CDRUSN]

Looks like we threw our defensive game plan in the trash can at half time, and decided that turning our athletes loose to play aggressively is now our new philosophy. Of course, we waited til our final game for that light bulb to come on, but I'll take it.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Are you available for a DC interview in Jan?

Yes. Any time. I will update my resume and CV.
