Game Thread: Illinois at Duke

[Illinifan533]

Don't know if it was talked about, but Duke is probably the one ACC team that is happy to have a rock fight. Going to have to scrap for this one

 

[Ryllini]

Score incoming on this drive. I feel it.

A round about way, but they got it done.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Me: YES, NO! YES!!

 

[the Castle on Daniel]

BIG TD ILLINI

 

[ChiTown]

So far our O-line is getting exposed.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Punting is winning

 

[SuperMetroid]

Absolutely no way we should be ahead in this game but here we are

 

[and 69 others]

That pass by Luke was amazing!

 

[zentrails]

Get this line in the weight room!

plenty of adrenaline working for Duke, maybe?
It's probably gonna be a dogfight the whole game though.

 

[CaptainCrutch]

We gotta wake up. Team looks lackadaisical.

 

[TentakilRex]

Duke's defense looks good though

 

[Chase321]

No leg drive at all. He gets hit low and he just stops.

He needs to use his eyes and if the gap isn’t there do something else. Not that I have any idea what I’m talking about.

 

[LFOD]

Their defense was on the field a good while, that’s good

 

[HailtotheChief]

3 n out or a TO now let's go!

 

[the Castle on Daniel]

if we stop then this drive i feel v good about our chances of a big w

 

[SummerofGeorge]

Concerned how we are getting outplayed on the line of scrimmage. On a hot, humid day I worry about O line wearing down second half. Very fortunate so far.

 

[blife]

O line needs to start blowing some people off the line

 

[BDMAN]

Hopefully we can wear the defense down as the game progresses

 

[Todd99]

Altmeyer is going to be sore after this one, he's taking some shots

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

O-line hasn’t held up, but I’m more concerned that our receivers (the one place we don’t return heavy minutes) can’t get separation against Duke. Luke keeps searching, leading to sacks/pressure.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

No leg drive at all. He gets hit low and he just stops.

Problem is the acceleration in my opinion. He's taking too long to get started. Needs to work on exploding off the hand-off and getting downhill faster

 

[BrownTown]

We have a GUY in Bowick!

Elzy experiment is not looking great. Luckily, we hit a big one in Bowick

 

[BDMAN]

Get a spy on the Duke QB please

 

[pruman91]

KF TD !!!!!!!!!!...............7-3 ILLINI...................

That was a great scramble and pass by Luke and a great catch inbounds by Elzy.......BTW , I'm still sweating bullets , just a lower caliber now............................GO ILLINI !!!

Yeah, I heard about the rush being an issue, but it's different seeing it in action
