Game Thread: Illinois vs UAB

[BWBW]

Not ideal

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Okay, we have ourselves a football game

Sadly, yes

 

[WSIOTCSS]

Yikes…

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Yeah, this is going to be an uncomfortable halftime.

 

[Juju]

When you run a 3-3-5 defense, you HAVE to be able to tackle. We can't tackle..

 

[CDRUSN]

Woof.

 

[TentakilRex]

OK that sucked

uab picked to finish 13th (out of 14) in american conference. this is garbage

 

[Thaillini22]

Is it going to be tied at the half?

Well, we trailed Toledo, so this is better

I see the opportunities for big plays on defense in this scheme…

I also see a LOT more opportunities for the other team to do whatever they want.

It’s gonna be a rough year.

 

[Battle89]

Time to suit up some of those Rochester players

 

[Orangetool]

43 just jogging around out there

 

[TooHot4Tots]

Scheme dont mean jack if you dont have guys that can actually play ball

 

[phats22]

how have we only run 15 plays with 7 min TOP so far?

 

[Thaillini22]

Oh well. Make halftime adjustments and make this a laugher in the second half. I don't want another 2023 Toledo situation here (and knowing our luck this will be the best UAB team in years)

100%

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Unleash Houser here. Don't kneel this out

 

[Illini4Christ]

Where is Aaron Henry?
