Game Thread: Illinois at Kansas

Nice turnover

 

[MaineIllini]

I don’t understand Pat Bryant getting up talking to the opponent after failing to pick up the first down.

 

[Coop70]

Then jumping up and barking like you did something....just not intelligent play.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Nice job punching the ball out. We're going to need 6 or 7 more of those to turn this one around

 

[LJ22]

All of Bret's tweets look pretty darn dumb right now.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Even our fumble recoveries are demonstrations of how outmatched our defense looks in this game.

 

[Illiniam1984]

A lot of talk and no back up. Not going to get you anywhere.

I know this is gonna sound retrospective or revisionist or whatever, but during the offseason I couldn't help but feel like everyone was a bit too happy / happy with themselves... DC and DL dudes in particular. Which maybe wore off on impressionable youngsters? (To the point made about believing our hype.)

We look like Michigan State talking smack......we need to do better than this. I love Bret as our Coach, but he had better clean this up.

That's a great point

He may have been wrong

I genuinely don’t think there’s enough time. They can take the air out of the ball on their drives.

The defense is continually hopping out of the way of blockers, instead of taking on the blocker. This is creating huge lanes. Review the play out of the swinging gate formation they ran. Take on the block!

Fox, CBS, and NBC, "We are paying the wrong conference."

 

[ChiefGritty]

Yay something good happened I guess

Big play for keeping this under 50

 

[thehass]

speed kills. They have it. We don't. Look for us to be better against PSU. They don't have a jackrabbit at QB.

 

[Lincster27]

I remember last year when we had a defense. That was fun.

I also remember last year when we took a ton of stupid penalties. Some things never change.

Thus far, based on the first 2 games, the only thing that makes sense to me is somehow the Linebackers accidentally were given the wrong playbooks at the start of camp and none of the coaches have discovered it yet.

Keep giving Love the ball.

 

[LoveLovie]

Promising vision from Love

 

[WWWWRocU]

Absolutely nothing from the wide receivers tonight.

 

[Illini8420]

Awful

 

[pvaughn8]

 

[Krombopulos_Michael]

what in the world is happening right now

 

[aaeismacgychel]

A comedy of errors at this point. Lack of concentration leading to a turnover. That one isn't on Luke.

 

[New Creation]

Wow… now the receivers are dropping passes. Int
