Game Thread: Illinois vs Oregon

[CDRUSN]

Barry Lunney making some terrific play calling adjustments to maximize our strengths on that opening 3rd quarter TD drive. Execution was sharp, and a good Oregon defense was kept completely off balance. Keep hope alive.

 

[ChiefGritty]

The Oregon playcalling is, uh, not great

 

[TheChief4Life]

Holy crap! Couldnt have asked for a better start to the half by both sides!.

 

[pvaughn8]

Is this good defense or terrible Oregon offense?

 

[Ryllini]

Hey students....we are winning against Oregon, where are you? You better be at the Library!!

Sawft. Can't handle a little pressure of a potential .500 season. Anywho, the defense is off the field again.

 

[Illini4Christ]

Is this good defense or terrible Oregon offense?

Both

 

[Jon]

Up 14-10 and Collin Dixon hasn't gotten his Contractually obliged TD yet

Easy fix: Students that stay for the second half of football games should get priority for Krush tickets

and Bryce Underwood sez hello

Don't forget Tate Martell

Heck Longhorns could not wait to replace Quinn Ewers with Manning

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Love that drive and Boyd run. Look, a blitz (hold uncalled, Brown got tackled) and tight press man lads to a punt!

 

[TheChief4Life]

Is this good defense or terrible Oregon offense?

Definitely aided by the latter, but the former has looked decent!

 

[FloridaMan]

Barnett is such a physical runner! Love what Laughery is doing but JB has a bright future and will step right in!

 

[OskieWowWow]

Tyrone Wheatley was a great hire, RBs are running so much more purposeful than last year

Our student section for football has been piss poor for years.

If students left they should let them re-enter the stadium

 

[CDRUSN]

All 3 of our running backs are hitting the hole hard and dragging tacklers. Great to see! Now, let's burn them with a nice quick hitting pass to Dixon.

Didn't help that they stuck them in the NEZ. Get them back on the East side!

I agree. It's a terrible look on TV when most of them seem to leave at half time.

 

[phats22]

PI? looked early....

Yes

Not to mention, there’s a pretty big distinction between who is still in their seat and who isn’t. I wouldn’t want to be staring at the sun either.

And he can't hurt for recruiting purposes either. The guy is a legend.

This was definitely a thing when I was a student. You scanned your Illini Pride card for an extra point or could get a line card for the basketball game but they wouldn't give them out until there was 2 minutes left in the game

I love being right - this game is more winnable than ever, but I am still expecting us to drop it. Having a great time rn tho!
