Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

If Houser provides hallway decent okay today, it really resets the expectation for the season compared to just a few weeks ago. I do still work about the last few games all against ranked opponents.

@Retro62 and I are enjoying the pregame alumni event at the student union. Great people. Josh spoke; what a treat.

Gorgeous day for an Illini win.

No fanbase is worse at reading between the lines than ours lol

This is the love of college football - we got a guy that knows the next 5 weeks may be his last playing organized football…gonna make the most of it.

I wonder how much he will play?

 

[Ander1345]

Don't necessarily want him to return too soon, but I trust.

 

[AssemblyHallForever]

Do the Maryland fans know there is a game today? Looks like a lot of empty seats.

You even said it flat out. My bad.

 

[Illinijoe]

Pending input from our insiders.......

5% chance Houser starts

6% chance Houser plays

I think it's just a smoke screen to distract the new/revamped MD coaching staff.

You were way off on this one. Need to get some sources!

Don't necessarily want him to return too soon, but I trust.

I agree, I don't like this decision. His hand is wrapped up. Too much of a risk if you ask me.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I could literally imagine just about anything happening today. Here’s hoping Oregon Illini show up and we dominate

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

i’m shocked

 

[skyIdub]

Bielema on starting QB: “TRICK OR TREAT B@TCHES!”

 

[CheifKeith91]

Don't necessarily want him to return too soon, but I trust.

If his first few throws look short or off get him out of there asap

 

[ChiTown]

It’s happening…Houser under center.

He has a bandage over the incision.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

someone get me the name of Housers Dr so I can have him look at my knee

 

[TheodoreRex]

Am I the only one that hates Maryland's uniforms?

Also, what the actual BEEP Houser.

 

[FloridaMan]

WTF was that pass? Not good
