Game Thread: Illinois at Kansas

[DocMorgan]

Passive defense. #34 better figure it out or he needs to stay on bench. Barnes should be better than this at this point in his career.

3rd and three and a 6 yd cushion on the WR.

Way too easy.

This season might be defined by if Aaron Henry is a real D Coordinator or not. So far… not.

 

[FloridaMan]

Who is our leader on the defensive side of the ball? Our line is getting manhandled again and coverage stinks so far. Early, but adjustments need to be made.

 

[CV Illini]

So far the law firm is out of the office

 

[IlliniKrush]

What is going on with meed ? Step slow tonightl

And Kansas made that look easy

It was all Barnes and Meed on that drive.
I was already disappointed in Barnes after last week.
Not a good start.

 

[Sedino]

People freaking out after a single drive lol. I do agree that the linebackers looked awful though

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Defense getting handily beat at all three levels.

They really are, I guess not even Leonhard can fix the issues we saw last week.

 

[ChiefGritty]

We're just straight up not a major conference team in the trenches right now. Very disturbing, need a miracle to win any game as long as it continues.

I can't understand how we would be this much worse on the lines.

 

[OskieWowWow]

Everyone focused only on the secondary, but Darkangelo and Hart were huge losses at LB

 

[Jimbo]

Usually when a team scores that easily on their first possession they go silent. Like they get over confident or something. So we should be good.

 

[BDMAN]

Uh Oh this could be a long night defense still can't stop anyone or generate pressure on the QB. The offense had a 3 and out and there still appears to be O-line issues.

 

[Thaillini22]

I get the sense that last year the D was just let loose and ballin', but this year they're having to think first.

 

[AyoDos11]

Wow what a catch!!

 

[New Creation]

What a catch!

 

[TentakilRex]

Nice catch!

 

[FloridaMan]

What a catch

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Kansas shouldn't be getting this much pressure in the backfield this quickly. 72 is getting absolutely torched.

 

[FloridaMan]

Mental mistakes, yeesh

 

[xcatcher]

I have no words. Griffin.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Great catch but Kansas looks a step quicker at every position.

 

[Naborman88]

I’m ready for the running game to establish itself

 

[azillini1]

Haven’t been impressed with our D at any point this year

 

[Jimbo]

nice run McCray

 

[TentakilRex]

Kenny Loggins Jr is on their team

No wonder we are in the Danger Zone
