Game Thread: Illinois at Kansas

Casey Washington, Pflugerville, Tx

 

[Ramrod2010]

Just bowled over.

 

[Illini4Chief]

The : Catch Up" Illini....seems to be same year after year.....play from behind... a hail mary to tie......Where's the D???

 

[TentakilRex]

The Illini defense has gone full Texas Rangers bullpen so far.

 

[xcatcher]

So our QB looks amazing in his first start… short slants, got in a rhythm…. So let’s never do that again.

 

[illiniguy24]

What is dumber, that play call or the announcers?

 

[KBLEE]

Lunney needs to go.

 

[DocMorgan]

Nagy call that 3rd down play?

 

[ChiefGritty]

Felt it last week, but first quarter confirms it. Something rotten on defense. Looks a lot like defenses of former failed coaches. Wide open receivers, untouched runners to the 2nd level, stupid penalties. Not throwing in the towel on the season but ooh boy something is going to need changing or we're gonna get destroyed.

We aren't playing any better on offense

 

[redwingillini11]

No pride

 

[IlliniTaffy]

Defense can't get a stop, not sure about punting there on 4th and 2. Defense is gonna be gassed by the 2nd half

 

[Illiniaaron]

I might be forgetting a few things, but does Lunney ever fool anyone?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Really don't like those calls- we're shredding them with the run and then go away from it and then to trickeration.

 

[Coop70]

I've seen that play 4 times in a week. Don't think it's gonna fool anyone.

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

What is dumber, that play call or the announcers?

Close call b/c those announcers are morons.

 

[Illini-Rule]

We run it down their throats and then pass for 2 yards and some stupid trick play. That's busch league / Northwestern type goober crap.....

 

[PattyOBryant]

Love III moved the ball well that drive. Perfect time for a trick play on third down /s

 

[STLIlliniMike]

Awful play call there on third and one…

 

[Sedino]

Run up the middle, RPO with quick routes, and move the ball. OR do this.

 

[hhoene]

Wasn't impressed with Lunney last year. Not impressed this year. Offense seems very vanilla.

 

[CV Illini]

So Reggie is averaging 4 YAC and you run that mess of a play on 3rd and 1??? Brilliant!

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Love III moved the ball well that drive. Perfect time for a trick play on third down /s

7 yards a rush going right up the middle, let's take a play out of Matt nagys playbook

 

[Illiniam1984]

Lunney needs to go.

 

[Navy_illini]

Football is about adjustments. Let’s see if we can change things up. We got the running game going last drive. Need to figure out the option

 

[Scoregasm]

The whole personality of this team is off.

There's no floor here.

Feels like the basketball team last year, no chemistry but individual talent.
