Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[Homecoming 2019]

New DC, same defense…

Was really hoping our linebackers would become talented

 

[BoiseBaller]

Like a hot knife through butter.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

So far 2 blitzes and both stoned at the LOS. Need to get penetration

 

[Mr. Roberts]

3-3-5 aka "please run over me"

 

[Epsilon]

Good ole marshmallow defense

 

[Pikeillinifan]

So much for my hopes of the defense coming out strong.

 

[TooHot4Tots]

Awful scheme when you do not have the talent to run it

 

[JKR]

He was open

 

[PNWIllini]

He had 15 yards if he wanted to run

 

[CDRUSN]

Eat ya Boy is eatin' us alive on the ground. Can we please get a stop?

 

[Naborman88]

Are the linebackers supposed to contain the outside run in this defense?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Ok big 3rd down. Get this stop

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Ok big 3rd down. Get this stop

 

[BoiseBaller]

Ok big 3rd down. Get this stop

Not so fast my friend. Lol

 

[Illinisnake]

If we are just going to give them 10 yards every play then just don’t show up to play the game. Our corners are playing ten yards off every play. It’s insane.

 

[Naborman88]

Bend. Bend. Bend. Stupid penalty.

 

[Epsilon]

Finally get a stop and…. penalty

 

[Lakes333]

This fkng defense.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Turnover here would be nice.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Can we try a 5-1-5 so we can friggin contain the edges!??!…

 

[ILLI die hard]

Had 5 on line and got a stop damn penalty

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Sigh…. First win at the LOS and a 15yd penalty wiped it out. We can’t be doing this garbage. Just no discipline

 

[TampaToo]

No reason to pass. Northwestern game plan.

 

[Lordfvdge64]

The run lanes are almost as big as our giant video board.

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

I see we are running a "bend and also break" defense
