Can't figure out the wind in here. Some flags have shifted, others, not so much.

Some flags now, no wind.

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

and yet 10-7 us, with the ball in our hands, I'll take that

The tv announcers kind of suck. They sound bored and uninterested.

Solid first quarter. Let's keep playing tough and get the W. I-L-L

 

[skyIdub]

Houser's gonna get Dixon on another hitch and go if they blitz from that side again.

Yeah, they seem to be enjoying the penalties most of all LOL

Yep. And next time it will be a TD

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

The guy formerly in charge of the crooked helmet stickers must be back from leave.

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.

I sorta get the sense that we don't expect to be able to stop anyone consistently, and are just hoping for a timely tfl or penalty to help us get stops.

8 Game Thread pages in 1st quarter... It indeed will be a long game

Simply making normal tackles could've saved us probably 50-100 yards last week. That alone could make a big difference even if we're just lacking strength and athleticism.

I swear if we do Jordan Anderson up the middle….

 

[FloridaMan]
