Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

[CDRUSN]

We got us a FG kicker, good to know. Well done.

Gonna be a 14-10 game by the end of the quarter

I'm reminded of a very specific John McKay quote...

This defense is no good

Toto I don’t think we’re in Montana anymore

 

[FloridaMan]

Oh, good. Third and long

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Alright. 3rd and long. We should thrive in these situations…

 

[skyIdub]

Yes.....soak up every defensive W that we get!!

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

Beerman shows some flashes.

 

[FloridaMan]

Credit where it's due. Good stop, defense!

 

[BWBW]

Nice stop

 

[zentrails]

Oh, good. Third and long

almost ran for it, but D holds, good sign for this game indeed

 

[IlliniCaboose]

First 3 and out of the year!!

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

If 1 game and 1 drive in saying it’s a coaching issue and we’re glorifying Henry saying it was a talent issue makes me think we have our minds already made up and rewriting the past 2 years

In no world can you honestly look at the talent on this defense and say that it's going to be any better or any worse. I don't care if you bring a prime Buddy Ryan in.

I agree that it's too early to make a firm declaration, but the odds are severely stacked against the DC and it's 0% his fault.

So you’re in favor of it?

 

[CDRUSN]

The D got off the field on the first series of a drive, deep in an opponent's territory. on third down. Too early still to label Bobby Hauck a bonafide genius. Baby steps are better than nothing though.

If I didn’t know it said Illinois I would have no idea. Who greenlit these?

Ok D......help us drink less.

I'm not gonna give up that easy.

6 penalties in 1st quarter. This is going to be a long game.
