Game Thread: Illinois at Kansas

[CharliedonSurf]

Why are the commentators talking about nick saban when talking about the illinois KU game. WGAF

 

[CV Illini]

Remember the one time we stopped them on a 3rd down? That was awesome!

 

[azillini1]

Gave ip nearly 300 yards in first half

What defense!

 

[TheChief4Life]

The thing about this year that’s going to drive us crazy is that when the offense looks good… they look like they can score 100 points a game.

But, I have yet to see any evidence that our team won’t give up 140…

 

[TampaToo]

What a disaster! Same Illini football script. One decent season and off to the Groundhog scenario.

 

[Oldtimer59]

P*ss Poor

 

[WWWWRocU]

Not impressed by Rosiek at all.

 

[sacraig]

It seems like we are maybe just a team that has a really good blip of a season every now and again, but can't actually be consistently good.

 

[LFOD]

Remember the one time we stopped them on a 3rd down? That was awesome!

 

[LJ22]

I get my hopes up every blip. My bad.

 

[…INI]

Oof. 300 yards of offense and 4 TDS in the first half from Kansas. Wasn’t our defense pretty good last year?

 

[Chillinini]

Just a horrendous half.

Offensive and defensive play calling is a little to be desired.

LBs are so slow an unreactive. Both lines need consistency.

Hire Leonhard full time.

 

[Lysol623]

This doesn't look good. Toledo was a bad game, but I hoped it was just game one nerves. This game is making us look like a 4 win team.

 

[TampaToo]

Game over at the half.

Way before half.

 

[ChiefKingfisher]

I am truly impressed by those of you that are going to watch the second half.

Remember that Michigan State comeback win a few years back? That’s what keeps me delusional enough to watch the second half.

Anyway, I’m not freaking out. We never play well in our first road game, and we’re up against one of the top QBs in the country. Saw this coming a mile away. Lots of season left, we’re probably not as good as last year but I still think we make a bowl game.

 

[Scoregasm]

Last year was a fluke.☹

 

[WWWWRocU]

But then again, we are still undefeated in the B1G West!!

 

[ChiTown]

Is it too early to say that am looking forward to the basketball season ?.

 

[sacraig]

I get my hopes up every blip. My bad.

 

[Thaillini22]

This doesn't look good. Toledo was a bad game, but I hoped it was just game one nerves. This game is making us look like a 4 win team.

Mate, we look like a 1-win team.

 

[Coop70]

We’re all feeling pretty positive.

A large difference between certainly and positivity.

 

[Navy_illini]

Honestly if the fumble on the first drive bounce to us and if we could have broke up the pass before half this game would be different. But the at didn’t happen

Unfortunately both of our lines are getting outplayed and until our scoring drive are WRs we’re non existent.

Our biggest issue on defense is our LBs need someone to help the Dline and stop the run and have an athletic pursuit of the qb

 

[logjam]

Oof. 300 yards of offense and 4 TDS in the first half from Kansas. Wasn’t our defense pretty good last year?

I guess they all graduated....

 

[Nikethreadguysm]

I’m really hoping Aaron Henry just doesn’t understand mobile quarterbacks. To be fair, these are probably 2 of the top 5 runners in the nation.

But this is really bad. Really, really bad.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Coordinators need to step up or hand them their pink slips. This is laughable on both sides of the ball.
