Game Thread: Illinois at Duke

[GallopingGhost]

Bret is getting way too cute with these subs

That one bit him.

 

[illinidarrin]

Our D is getting handled.

If we can't hold up against Duke, who can we hold up against?

 

[IlliniKat91]

I am calm...just being real.

That's an odd way to spell pessimist

 

[BDMAN]

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

That won't last long if this keeps up

I know its early in the 2nd game of the season, but im not seeing an 8-10 win caliber team. Im not going to be surprised if this team is 3-5 after 8 games....purdue isn't even a lock.

 

[ChiTown]

Duke's QB is so much better than Altmeyer. Plays smarter and makes perfect throws. Play calling by Duke has defense confused.

Altmeyer hardly had a enough time to throw the ball,we’re getting pushed around in the front…..we’re are not winning the line of scrimmage.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Thompson looks fine.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Going a quarter without Jacas' name being called needs to be rectified

Thet were rolling away from him. Big 2nd n 9 coming up. Man draw a hold or get a sack!

Anyone who thought this wouldn’t be a battle is kidding themselves. The doom and gloom tells me a lot of people just don’t take Duke seriously.

Lotta negative Nancies in here - Illinois isn’t going to go out here and win by 30. Keep in mind we almost lost to Purdue and went 10-3 last year. We barely beat Rutgers. This stuff isn’t a runaway against Western every game.

And Duke is good.

Calm down.

Rosiek out with a stinger it looks

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Our D is getting handled.

That’s an understatement.

 

[FoundersClub]

Line was -2.5 for a reason

 

[BDMAN]

We are leading due to a turnover not sustained success on the field Duke on the other hand has shown nothing but

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

Dude... our corners avoid tackling sometimes. Seen them in the backfield a couple times and they don't attack they just stop running.

 

[illinidarrin]

Wow, that's not winning football there. We were too slow to the edge.

 

[Chillinini]

Duke offense ain’t no Western Illinois

 

[LFOD]

Oh wow, what a drop

Hear what you are saying, but we are not passing the eye test whatsoever. What will we look like against OSU or USC? Our lines are a huge problem right now.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Goodness

 

[D1959]

Getting beat on both sides of the ball upfront

 

[HailtotheChief]

Yes!

 

[punchabove33]

[BWBW]
