Game Thread: Illinois at Indiana

[OrangeBlue98]

Well, we know how the Big Ten office wanted this one to go.

IU never commits a penalty, apparently.

 

[Jimbo]

Out first half of USC, too? Or do I have this stupid rule wrong. Please tell me I'm wrong.

No, ejection in furst half means you play the full next game i believe,

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

There have been a ton of self inflicted wounds. Stop making those and score this drive and we have a game.

I’m doing everything I can to not look like an outrageous !!!!!!! in front of my son watching this but I’m livid. We’re 1-2 plays away from a tie game, but unfortunately it is what it is and we’ve got to deal with 75% of our DB starters being out for this game and likely first half of next at least.

Ridiculous.

We’re just getting owned so far. Gonna be a tough game to watch….

 

[Chukwuwumba]

Maryland/Whisky game. Twerp clearly lowered his head and launched at the quarterbacks head. Targeting called on the field. It was reviewed and overturned.

Saw that hit too…if that wasn’t targeting, Scott definitely was not

 

[bleedorange and blue]

Long way from over, we will be

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Gonna be hard to know who we are after this, which is good. Playing a Top 25 team on the road without your top two safeties. Only a blocked punt had us behind until that happened. Play your guts out. Take whatever the result is, and then take it out on USC next week.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

I remember when you could hit people in football

 

[Ryllini]

We need a drive. A 5-6 minute variety

 

[pruman91]

on the targeting call , I didn't see Scott's helmet EVER touch the wr head....his head moved back by the force of the shoulder to shoulder contact......

 

[TheodoreRex]

Anyone with optimism is fooling themselves- we just lost Scott and we were already unbelievably thin in the secondary. We're cooked defensively now and down 14

 

[SuperMetroid]

Maybe putting some heat on the quarterback would help

Haven’t had a Jacas sighting yet

Miles would only have to miss the first half if he was ejected in the second half of this game so he'll be good to go next week.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Put this game in Luke's hands

 

[LFOD]

Game over. See yall boys next year

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Don’t like our odds. I’ll always keep watching and keep hoping, though. We don’t look mentally tough.

 

[UDillini]

Arkin brutal / targeting brutal / first halves have been brutal /// that said.. still have a feeling Bret pulls some !!!! and we force three turnovers and win late on Olano 49 yarder. See ya then

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Where is Laughrey?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

The offense needs something

 

[superfan]

I really want someone from the league and explain the targeting rule and then walk through video of all of the situations we’ve seen over the past few years and explain/defend how that rule has been enforced.

 

[JJE]

I understand Luke wants to make a play so he holds onto the ball, but that’s been his Achilles heal since day one.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That sack is on Luke. Don't know what he was doing there

 

[gary?]

The offense needs something

a new o-line coach
