Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[OskeeLoyalty]

Whelp, huge stand. Glad it was only 3

 

[Illini2010-11]

Now that is some dumb coaching...

 

[IlliniMilkMan]

Wtaf?

Believes he can stop our offense or that we will stop our offense. Might be right both ways.

 

[TentakilRex]

Rosiek knocked the cajones off the Northwestern HC apparently.

 

[ILLFAN67]

I’ll take giving up 3 out of that debacle. Now let’s go put 7 on the board.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

HUGE STAND.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Please get at least three here.

 

[Champaign88]

Go score a TD and win the game, please. And also really wish we would have tried a 34 yard FG on that first drive despite the wind. “Best kicker I’ve ever been around” should be able to make it.

 

[CogDog]

Need a nice clock burning drive here that results in a touchdown.

 

[RDS]

Redemption drive, Luke

 

[derrick6]

This offense has STUNK! Only saved by the defense.

Better get going this next drive or we are going to lose.

 

[skyIdub]

The only good thing about this game is that we don’t need to win it to become bowl eligible.

I would counter that to say it leaves absolutely zero doubt that changes are coming on both sides of the ball. Which is also good.

 

[TrahNeb]

Gift from the NU coach. Illini need a clock killing drive here.

 

[zentrails]

How did Priestly not land on that?

He can only hold NW players

 

[LFOD]

Despite the chaos, this defense is on fire in the second half

 

[BWBW]

How about playing to our strengths and methodically drive down the field for a TD?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

This ^^^^^^

Well, it's an exciting game...

Really can’t believe, after all the hype early in the year, I am watching NW basically play us even. I truly expected more this year with all the returnees from last year.

 

[TentakilRex]

The type of offense I want to see for the rest of the game

 

[skyIdub]

Despite the chaos, this defense is on fire in the second half

Well....the NUrds are pouring gas on them then.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Embarrassing O-line play this half

What is sad that we have no one on the bench that are better. We aren’t developing the young guys. That on the OL coach

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Now ... let the kick go into the end zone if they kick it there.

Or return it for a touchdown. I'm cool with that.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

The O-Line needs to show up now. Please. PLEASE!

 

[CDRUSN]

Our Offense has to see that the Defense is doing everything possible to win this Hat game. I know Luke came to compete. Let's settle down, and go on a long clock eating soul crushing TD drive and end the regular season on a very high note.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Rosiek's awesome.
