Game Thread: Illinois at Duke

[and 69 others]

I need a Hudson Clement sighting today.

The Duke coach looks like the frat guy that is just asking to be punched. How much hair product do these Duke men use LOL?!

 

[GallopingGhost]

too easy during the 2 minute drill for Duke there

 

[thehass]

Offense looks terrible

you're being kind.

 

[illinidarrin]

They are beating in the trenches, this is not good.

 

[phats22]

we need to wake up

 

[dsg]

I don't care for the way Duke seems to be moving downfield with ease.

 

[hooraybeer]

can’t be upset about being dominated but being up 7-3

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Henry, give up this zone and 3 man pressure. They are gonna find a soft spot with that amount of time.

 

[ChiTown]

O-line….D-line is anyone ready to play?.

 

[BDMAN]

We look a step slow and indecisive on defense and I say still Henry's D is getting schooled by the Duke OC

 

[Illinisnake]

Yeah….cant play zone against this QB. If they plan to play zone this will not be good.

bend don't break I hope

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Boy oh boy are we getting carved up right now. Mensah getting just way too much time back there

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

too easy during the 2 minute drill for Duke there

Especially considering it’s the end of the first quarter

 

[IlliniCaboose]

This 3-3-5 isn't working

 

[HailtotheChief]

Good take for qtr to end. D needs to regroup n get a stop and 3rd n long or to.. a sack or an offensive hold/pressure on the qb would nice.

 

[FloridaMan]

Both lines continue to be an issue. Seems it takes them forever to start playing even decent every season. Getting pushed around on every stinking play.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

This defensive line is getting absolutely destroyed. We better be able to put up 35 today.

 

[RML]

Well, we didn't look like the better team that quarter.

 

[TheChief4Life]

One quarter done, and we’ve looked bad (at best). But we’re up 7-3. If we can wake up, we could still win this one big.

Let’s get a stop here…!

[Pikeillinifan]

At least we’re up 7-3, getting outplayed badly on both lines.

 

[mhuml32]

Only five quarters into the season but the Illinois WRs are a question mark beyond Bowick (near the end zone) and Beatty.

 

[BexleyIllini]

Lucky to be up 7-3
