Game Thread: Illinois at UCLA

[eas23]

That wasn't the cleanest pocket, but its not like there was a free rusher coming either. For a quarterback who has shown he's at least capable, this is one of the poorer performances I can remember.

O Line getting absolutely worked tonight. Houser compounding it with bad decisions

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

D is trying to keep our guys in this but chances are fading fast here

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Have to bench Houser....

No freaking way. Are you seriously thinking this is on him? He's barely had time to breathe back there, and our receivers just aren't getting open for him.

Announcers waving UCLA pom-poms during the replay of that safety.

 

[BWBW]

We seem to be tipping our plays.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Inexcusable safety! Another freshman mistake at QB. Simply cant drift back into endzone.

That’s because he didn’t want to try and throw it away and get picked again.

Not having a QB that is a threat to run is not going to work against this defense.

12 points and plenty of time.
Boyd, your table is set.
GO ILLINI !!

 

[skyIdub]

Gotta turn this QB over.

 

[wncillini]

It feels like its 35-0

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

a game of poor decisions...

[PopChampaign]

Houser Meltdown

Had to finally sync with radio. Insufferable

 

[BoiseBaller]

Might as well be. Our offense is near zero threat to score.

Need some #BPOTR magic

 

[Illinisam]

Desperately need an athletic TE instead of big, stiff slow guys

Where’s Fagin? I thought he was suppose to be a great offensive weapon? How can he be if we don’t throw to our TEs

 

[Miles Leonard]

Defense was never the problem with this team.

The first 6 weeks of the season would like to have a word with you

 

[Cary67]

Who would have thought offense would be the problem

 

[RDS]

Nice tackle

Fair point, but you can still take the sack outside of your endzone. It was fine to take the sack. The mistake was the extent of the drifting backward.

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

That was a false start on the right guard.

 

[Jimbo]

Stupidest decision ever, thank you.

 

[skyIdub]

Man our defense deserves a W.
