Game Thread: Illinois vs UAB

[TheChief4Life]

Nice sack! So the plan is we have to force them into passing plays.

Wow we have a 3rd and long defense!?!

Noice

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

That went well.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Thank god for the Holding lol. Or else they were walking into the endzone.

Better scheme up some way to plug the run.

[Pikeillinifan]

What a turn of events!

 

[LFOD]

We saw the upside of this defense there

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Did we have the ball first or did UAB?

 

[JSpence]

Flipped the field

I will also remind people that last year’s first series from WIU saw them drive down into Illini territory. Yes, indicative of that defense, but that was also a bad FCS school.

Good things happen when they actually show our game on TV, it appears.

[aaeismacgychel]

Hell of a block of two guys without blocking in the back to spring him. Did not catch the number but that return was all his. Outstanding special teams play

 

[DeeIL89]

Fantastic punt return.

Yeah here we were cursing BTN and actually they were doing us a favor! LOL
"Bobby" Lunney and all!
