Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[Ryllini]

Marked improvement from those first 2 from the defense

 

[SuperMetroid]

Holding on every single play

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Damn

 

[TooHot4Tots]

3 diff receivers smoking Clarke

 

[Hereforit]

Juice is playing way too far off and behind today. Take some chances. Got nothing to lose.

 

[punchabove33]

I am not even upset… D actually playing better today than last 3 games

 

[NASchamp]

Man do these announcers love Ohio State and especially Jeremiah Smith. Literally cheering them on in the broadcast (“Woo!”)

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Welp, to have a prayer at being in this one late, Houser and Co. simply need to score 7 here AND not leave enough time for our D to cough it right back up.

 

[Hereforit]

Smith is a cyborg. Absurd.

 

[Ryllini]

I think 4 has a future. Good Lord.

 

[Illini in Italy]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu**

 

[CentralILLini]

They have a Jeremiah Smith and we don’t. My goodness.

 

[NASchamp]

There is no way that’s a touchdown. He switches hands halfway through.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

7 yards to go....defender is 12 yards deep on a curl route. This defense can kmfa.

Worried about getting beat deep.

 

[Zweebs]

I would pay 5k to force Gus Johnson into retirement. He has ruined countless games for me.

 

[phats22]

not a catch (edit: so you can complete the catch after you're out of bounds?)

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

They have a Jeremiah Smith and we don’t. My goodness.

We didn’t need a Jeremiah Smith to put up a bit more of a fight on 4th and 7, though.

 

[Carter Waller]

BS. He did not have control of the ball lol.

 

[hooraybeer]

that missed tackle/sack x3 on the third down there will be the what if play of the game

 

[IlliniWu]

I hope that three men front can put some sort of pressure on Julian today.

/s

Gotta get there. That sack would've took them off the field. Now they took up a lot of time and another great play by Smith.

 

[jrock]

Thats not %#^#&#& control

 

[punchabove33]

Ball Shifting all over the place

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Worried about getting beat deep.

Thank God we didn’t!

 

[Hereforit]

not a catch

Wish it were so. That was one hell of a catch maintaining that control with the left toe tap. Respect is all one can say.

 

[Ryllini]

The last 4 and first 4. This is a huge drive. Have to get points to keep pressure on them. Gets points and see what you can do coming out of the half
