Game Thread: Illinois at Duke

[TentakilRex]

This Duke offense too good right now

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Get the stop on this conversion please.

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

Nice stop on the 2 pt conversion

 

[LFOD]

Nice

WAY too early to be chasing points if you're Duke.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Why did they go for 2 there?!? lol another gift…

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Dangit, really needed a 4th down stop

 

[illinidarrin]

That's unacceptable defense.

 

[chiefini]

We miss Rosiek…

This Duke offense too good right now

And our defense too bad

 

[IlliniKat91]

Duke still down 9, I'll take it

 

[madillini4]

Scott got torched on that touchdown. Yikes.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Now let’s get a long drive with some points.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That is not at all the defensive response we needed. We're getting no pressure and also no coverage. Big stop on the 2pt conversion, but outside of that, we need a heck of a lot more

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Tomi was held on that first first down. Also, big time man downfield on that big play, tackle or guard was 5 yards downfield

 

[biglug58]

I think that missed two point conversion will come back to haunt them

 

[MajorNathanMaxwellJanice]

Manny is a master strategist

 

[illinoistradition]

Xavier had outside leverage on that for some reason. Uncharacteristically bad mechanics for him.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Duke still down 9, I'll take it

You'd think so. Just wait til Cooper Flagg comes into the game.

 

[STLIlliniMike]

Can someone explain the logic of going for two there? Why wouldn’t they want make it a one possession game?

 

[purcy51]

Let's get another long, sustained drive with a score.

 

[WeWillWhen]

Too easy. Our corners not having a great day.

There is no logic to go for 2 there…

Probably the analytics - I personally hate it, it always seems to backfire.

Gave up that scoring drive much too quickly our defense has gotten beat the whole game. Not impressed with Henry's game planning or play calling at all, just hope we can get out of here with the win.
