Going to be a great game between two really bad football teams. It might be 64 to 56.

We certainly have not looked great, but I am not sure we are "really bad". Duke might compete for the ACC Champ and Ohio State is a contender for NCAA champ. We are a team with a very good offense that should keep us in many games.

A really bad team does not put up close to 500 yards @ Ohio State.

This game will say a lot about the Illini squad. Really need a win here.

I'm wondering who will be back from the IL next weekend, especially the O line. Hopefully Smith isn't out long. Is Brown fully back? Will we see Platt? We cannot lose to Purdue.

Also, do we know who was injured at the timeout in the second half? The crack announcing team didn't think it was important enough to mention. :rolleyes:

Outside of kneeled out clock, we stopped Ohio State twice while giving up 6 touchdowns (five of them 70+ yard drives).

missed it by that much...


Also...Coach B said we had only 9 players on the field a couple times? So....I'm going to stay positive about today. The refs literally gave them one drive with the QB scramble. Lunney gave them the ball with a couple of really questionable 3rd and 4th down calls too.

Coaching malpractice.

Not gonna read the post game thread (nor do I ever step foot in the game threads) because they are often toxic on IL.

But I’ll say that I wasn’t overly disappointed with tOSU. And if we can see continued improvement and the havoc we were promised on D, this offense can get us to at least 3-3 before the bye with a chance at 4-2.

Just gotta find a few wins after that to go 6-6 or 7-5. (Which was my expectation and hope)

Let’s get back in the win column at home against Purdont.

Purdue makes a lot of mistakes.

(Turnovers + Penalties + Sacks Allowed) = 35 in 3 major games.

Illinois 18 in their 3 major games.

I don’t think this one should be close. Purdue is poorly coached and Illinois should win easily

is our football NIL so bad we can only afford 9 defensive players?

In all seriousness, it seems to me if you're a defensive coordinator and you have multiple plays in the same game with 9 guys on the field. We can go ahead and let you go on the spot.
