Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

[FloridaMan]

I think I just figured out the 3-3-5. It's the number of missed tackles (335) this scheme commits each season. It all makes sense now.

 

[ILLINIFAN2]

On our last drive, we had time to milk the clock more, which we didn't.

 

[Oracle21]

Duke might want to try to cover #17

 

[Mr. Roberts]

We going to have to out score them plain and simple.

Every "them" on the schedule.

 

[FloridaMan]

Be nice to have a timeout

 

[LFOD]

I need one of the clock experts from the Michigan/WMU thread to tell me how much time remains

 

[skyIdub]

We have a Mountain West defense, eventually you need some 4 stars

Can I interest you in a 5 million star video board?

 

[TooHot4Tots]

Dumb

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

The Fck was that?….

 

[Miles Leonard]

Just a bit short on that kick

 

[thefalcon5]

Did that kick get tipped or was it a total shank

 

[LurkerintheOpen]

D coordinator is an absolute dud.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Having zero timeouts cost us 3pts.

 

[…INI!]

Was withholding my judgment on the DC but he needs to sit out and Bielema take over.

 

[LFOD]

What’s the halftime speech…

 

[biglug58]

Just missed. Dang /s

 

[Oracle21]

That was odd. Not sure about that short pass on 3rd down to set up a 60+ yard FG attempt

 

[Pikeillinifan]

That kick looked good when it left his foot, ha!

 

[IlliniMilkMan]

Just a bit short on that kick

Not sure playing for a 62 yard field goal was anything other than dumb.

 

[phats22]

didn't love that 3rd down call with no time outs....

 

[jrock]

Very frustrating end to the half. Zero defense.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

This is like a mirror image of UAB. Offense leading us to a W and an awful special teams error pulls them into it.

Only this time, we don't get the ball to start the 3rd. We'll see...

 

[Joel Goodson]

D: F

 

[TwinCityBreaker]

I'm ready to let Lovie DC again at this rate

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

What’s the halftime speech…

Keep scoring
