Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[AssemblyHallForever]

Not a good start.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

2nd rushing TD of the year - we are making this guy look like Lamar Jackson…

 

[thehass]

Not inspired play by us so far

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I was worried how our LB corp would deal with a mobile QB. The speed is causing us issues.

 

[jrock]

God awful start. Maryland gets ball at half too.

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

Someone needs to cover the qb. He's just going to keep running until we stop him. We need to show some fire.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Welp, about as bad of a start as possible.. TONS of pressure on the offense to move the ball and get some sort of score here.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Newsflash this qb can run, contain the edge! Should have been 3rd and 10

 

[fatt lacosse]

They're the worst team in the league but they've got a live offense. Just can't turn it over again. Just can't do it.

Someone's gonna have to make accurate throws. Don't care who.

 

[Dr Copejam]

If Houser shows nothing this drive, then we need to go back to the youngsters.

“Just inches away from being 14-0”

Shut up dude. If you don’t get the fumble we don’t get the ball on the 1.

That analysis always drives me nuts

 

[skyIdub]

He’s made 4 throws. For the love of Taco Tuesdays people.

 

[redwingillini11]

March down the field and tie it up. Reset the game.

 

[Illini-Rule]

Love our coaches, but please go with the hot hand. Katin Houser is overthrowing people. Let him heal properly. This is a must win.

I would argue that Katin was over throwing before he got hurt.

 

[New Creation]

We seems to have problems with mobile QB

Because we don't have the athletes on the D side of the ball

 

[therealmiket86]

Houser definitely not his best today. Can't tell if he's rusty, nervous, or the injury is affecting his throws, maybe all three. If this doesn't improve on our next possession, rest him and let Clayton/Boyd give us a chance to win. A loss today, and any chance at a bowl game this year disappears.

He’s coming back from a hand injury. You would think we would lean on the run game again today.

 

[BWBW]

Starting to get concerned. Let's get a nice, long scoring drive.

Sure let's play 3 different quarterbacks today, if nothing else we will confuse ourselves

 

[bleedorange and blue]

The defense we saw against Oregon did not travel today.....

We were down 10 to nothing before the d showed up

 

[CheifKeith91]

But the broadcasters said we have a couple studs at LB

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

Run up the middle? WTF?

 

[ChiefGritty]

Easy 6 if that's a good throw

 

[New Creation]

KH under threw Dixon there or that would be a touchdown

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

yes !

 

[skyIdub]

Oh look Houser and Sixon are fine.
