Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[LuckyIllini]

Defensive scheme is abysmal.

 

[CentralILLini]

Why did Heckel not pick that ball off?!

I have no idea. Man we do we have get faster and more athletic on defense.

 

[D1959]

The final score today will be embarrassing

 

[Homecoming 2019]

What a defensive scheme leaving Jeremiah Smith 1 on 1 with tons of room

 

[BashCtIllini]

Our chances of a win here are somewhere between 0% and 1%.

 

[Illini-Rule]

Unfortunately, and not unexpectedly, it's going to be a long day! I just hope we don't get anyone hurt.

 

[someillinoisfan]

Hopefully we don't get kent stated

 

[LJ22]

I hope this game doesn't make November 17, 2018 look like child's play.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

I know I’m not as versed as others, but I don’t know why anybody would ever want a defensive scheme that only puts three lineman on the line.

Also… of all the people to not let beat us, how do we let Smith beat us?

So we can blame NIL

 

[kyillinifan]

Let's go offense

 

[bleedorange and blue]

Gonna be a long afternoon for the defense, here's hoping offense makes their defense look like our!

 

[Lakes333]

Am I tripping? Tanner? Go get the f@#king ball?
I'm sorry.....did Tanner just decide not to break on that ball? He just floated back to the receiver?

Going to be a very long season folks. They could very well run up 70 on this defense.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Over/under on tOSU punts today?

Looked like it could have been a pick but he got cold feet

 

[UCantHideYer]

Might be some tough sledding today. Our 19 million NIL vs Jeremiah Smith‘s 5 million.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I was hoping we provided some resistance, but we couldn't stop anything. We're dropping 5 back in coverage to try and slow things down and it just doesn't matter.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Only hope is winning some wild shootout

 

[dsg]

Now for a nice long drive to give the defense a rest

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Fair catch it! Special teams are terrible, besides Chow

 

[aaeismacgychel]

In positive news our run defense was pretty passable in my opinion. Need to keep up that energy and tackling all game

 

[BoiseBaller]

Let the kickoff go FFS.

 

[skyIdub]

Good lord. Could we just get smart, fundamental football? I'm not asking for much.

 

[Scoregasm]

Bad decision to run that out Aidan.

 

[gary?]

who is number 8?

 

[TheChief4Life]

Why return that? Just take the ball at the 25 please.

EDIT: plus stupid penalties…

Come on guys… you know everything is going to be against us today
