Game Thread: Illinois at Indiana

[TampaToo]

Team has quit.

 

[BashCtIllini]

This isn't even close. We can't get a hole and offense and we can't stay within 5 yards of them on defense. Just keep them on the field for halftime and make them run.

 

[chadbrochill420]

This is Illinois football we know and love

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Only wish remaining from this game is PLEASE no one else get hurt in an over game.

 

[chiefIlliniWek4.0]

Henry looking shell shocked

 

[AT6]

I have no words for this.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

What was 20 up to on that

Covered the wrong I in Indiana.

 

[HailtotheChief]

You're absolutely right. But watch his head go down and his body shrink after 1 step back. He is going defensive immediately

Well no kidding but he didn't fumble. Should he stand up straight n get hurt? No should be expected to get away or perform well with what he is dealing with. Our D is a bigger deal actually. They have 4 offense tds. If they had allowed 1 it would be 14 7.. We are missing 3dbs and 2 all B10. 1 play caller which is huge. I mean good grief.

 

[B-ILL]

Do we start the postgame thread at halftime?

 

[foby]

IU is much better than I thought. We'll bounce back, but this is ****ing embarrassing.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Cignetti can go to Florida and suffer the same fate as Napier. He caught us on a bad night and with the officials giving IU every single call.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Looks like everyone has quit already

 

[NASchamp]

This is just embarrassing.

 

[Ghost77]

Strain absolutely no clue on that one.

 

[New Creation]

Worst case scenario game.. Literally playing our 3rd stringers at DB

 

[rdk573]

The difference between their lines and our lines is like night and day

 

[Illiniguy13]

This is honestly shocking to me after the last 15 games. What is our offensive line doing?

Getting exposed. It’s not a good unit, plain and simple.

 

[Scoregasm]

Need to play with some pride the second half.

 

[BrownTown]

Well no kidding but he didn't fumble. Should he stand up straight n get hurt? No should be expected to get away or perform well with what he is dealing with. Our D is a bigger deal actually. They have 4 offense tds. If they had allowed 1 it would be 14 7.. We are missing 3dbs and 2 all B10. 1 play caller which is huge. I mean good grief.

That doesn't mean Luke looks good.

Saying the defense sucks has no bearing on my point.

I get it, you are trying to be optimistic. Watch Luke on the next drive tuck his tail

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Can we ask for a running clock?

 

[krushalot2005]

Also pretty sure Lunney is a very average OC, 40 yards of offense gmafb, no matter how decent we’ve been the last year and a half.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Always seemed to me that the two big question areas were OL and secondary. Not that any unit is playing well, but I think the questions about those two areas have been answered. And not how I would liked.

Come on second half Illini.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Absolutely no idea what Strain was doing there giving a 10 yard cushion in the red zone

 

[aaeismacgychel]

This hurts me badly to say this, but they are better than we are. Both of their lines are dominating us, and their skill players are better. And they have way more intensity. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap.

We are missing Xavier and Miles Scott badly, and also Aiden Laughery.

I don't recall seeing Bowick out there either. Here's hoping we can get everyone back next week. We're badly banged up

 

[DB11Headband]

Don’t pop over here often but just want to say Aaron Henry ain’t it, and never will be it.

Don’t care about the injuries/etc. the lack of compete is astounding
