Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[TheodoreRex]

Why can't we have nice things... Defense finally gets back to back stops and what does our offense do? Can we never just play complimentary football

 

[Clngpl94]

Please let us have new Defense and Special Teams Coordinators next season....

 

[IlliniMilkMan]

Here we go. Screw around on offense and keep them in the game. Then defense bends and they have the wind.

 

[RockfordIllini]

For as much as it felt like we dominated the third quarter only won it 3-0.

NW gets the wind for the 4th and is driving. Hope defense can step up.

 

[Da88]

This is going to come down to a FG, isn't it? And we won't have the wind.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Had a chance to bust this game open but now we’re in for a nailbiter

 

[TheodoreRex]

Please let us have new Defense and Special Teams Coordinators next season....

And offensive line coach..

During the 3rd quarter break the guy challenging red grange stopped at the block I and did the Chief pose.

 

[ohioillini77]

Defense got two stops in row and offense got just 3. Could be turning point.

 

[CDRUSN]

I would rather us play tight coverage and risk a BS PI call than lay off receivers and hope for an open field tackle after the catch. Let's keep playing them close.

 

[SescIllini]

This is going to come down to a FG, isn't it? And we won't have the wind.

But we have Olano

Alano’s pretty good to have though.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Oh man... Woof

 

[Naborman88]

Wth

 

[skyIdub]

I have such crazy mad respect for coaches keeping their cool. If there's a similar play on our WR and a no call, I'd legit lose my mini marbles.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Our LBs are terrible.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Sigh... Just sigh...

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

We can’t tackle 5 year olds. Geez.

 

[FloridaMan]

Another missed tackle costs first down. Just terrible.

 

[skyIdub]

But we have SNOWlano

FIFY

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

So many missed tackles, guys

 

[TheodoreRex]

Again- just tackle... That is why Hood doesn't play

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

What a play wow

 

[Iamgroot]

It's amazing what pressure on a qb can do
