Game Thread: Illinois at Duke

[FloridaMan]

Olano has been rock solid! Wake up Defense!!!!!

 

[Ramrod2010]

This is a game of who can shoot themselves in the foot more.

Le sigh

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Offensive Line decided they wanted the field goal rather than getting blamed if they got stuffed.

 

[IlliniKat91]

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

Hate how hard I laughed at this.

Down 12 now. Still gonna take it

Someone needs to tell Feagin, you're big but Dlinemen are bigger. You can't just jog into the line and expect to accomplish anything. Get a head of steam going and blast a hole through.

I think his problem might be, he's not capable of getting a head of steam that quickly.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Now we desperately need a stop or turnover here.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

That pocket completely blew up. Very lucky with that FS.

 

[SuperMetroid]

OK good long drive with points. Time to step up D

 

[thehass]

No creativity in the run game again this year. We also appear slower and less quick than Duke.

 

[HailtotheChief]

I'm fine with not going for it and the fg. Duke needs 2 tds now.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Why do they keep running Feagin he has not done anything

Won’t find a bigger Feagin fan than Bret … He trusts the kid … I think Bret truly believes he’s gotta knock the rust off …

 

[BDMAN]

Well in all fairness the failure was giving Feagin tge ball on the previous play. He has no suddeness and the line has gotten beat at the point of attack all game.

 

[RML]

My gut felt that penalty was a blessing: didn't think we were gonna pick it up

Lunney needs to scheme something up in that case

 

[illinoistradition]

The whole time during the timeout and that was the 3rd down playcall?

He’s been insanely good on kickoff … Which I thought we would miss Chow there …

I was wrong …

 

[pruman91]

DO FG !!!!!!!!!..............31-19 Illini , early 4th quarter...............

 

[fuddrules]

I’m a huge Feagin fan but I have to agree here … I think the injuries have taken a toll

Come on. Stop it. He's NEVER had a burst. He's never been a RB. Ever. MAYBE 1A high school football.

Bielema has forced it.

Talented but not a RB.

Time for another TO by Dook

 

[FeelYourPaign]

3 quarters in 3 hours. Ugh

It’s like watching OOTO plays at State Farm Center …

If that’s the best we got OOTO … We got problems …

 

[DeeIL89]

Feagin had no burst on that last play. Probably should have gone with Valentine on that play instead.

laughery definitely came through at the end of last year, heres to a repeat....

Just not working. I like the kid, but he isn't a starting running back. He is a 3rd & short specialist. He just needs to go straight ahead full throttle and stop stutter stepping.

Gabriel Jacas time …
