Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland

[Altgeld's Bells]

Was Kreutz supposed to be the spy on the QB there?

 

[CDRUSN]

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.

 

[ChiTown]

We seems to have problems with mobile QB

 

[FloridaMan]

Defense is terrible. How did Oregon look so damn bad? Unreal

 

[Oracle21]

Washington running like Juice Williams

 

[illinidarrin]

This might be a very bad day for us. If we lose this, our season is toast.

 

[Scoregasm]

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

 

[JKR]

Like a hot knife through butter.

 

[New Creation]

I guess Maryland is just going to QB run the entire game.. and Houser shouldn't be playing today

 

[BWBW]

Rats

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Is that Dixon's first drop this season? Feels like he has had nearly perfect hands

2nd.

He had 1 at MSU.

 

[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

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Aaaaaaaad.......back to what we became accustomed to.

 

[Lakes333]

Note to defense. You have one job. Stop there quarterback and we will win.

 

[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

 

[UCantHideYer]

Safe to say Oregon is not very good?

 

[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.

 

[illiram]

Let's stop with the Duke and Purdue coaching mentality and go with the Michigan State and Oregon coaching mentality. Why do we want to put ourselves in a hole? Let's get the hot hand in at QB and win this to give ourselves a chance at a Bowl game.
