Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[OrangeSoda]

I love the effort but I can't help but get flashbacks of the Iowa game last year.

 

[StateFarmCenter]

DJ Taylor and Vaughn need to find some room on the bench for the rest of the game

 

[Sybok]

Penalties!

 

[frankfortillini]

What a brutal start to the second half.

 

[Adnarel]

That's rough.

 

[frankfortillini]

Had the stop. Dang.

 

[Lord Snow]

Another takeaway?!?!

 

[frankfortillini]

If that stands, huge turnover!

 

[breadman]

TURNOVER!!!

 

[illini67]

Yes!

 

[blackdog]

That's what the defense has to do. Backed up and take the ball away!

 

[TownieMatt]

Two takeaways on the road...

 

[breadman]

That's what the defense has to do. Backed up and take the ball away!

This is what Lovie says they have been preaching to the D.

 

[Lord Snow]

Man we look like a real team out there today.

 

[TownieMatt]

Offensive line has been sooooo much better today. Giving Lunt time and opening holes for our shiftier backs.

 

[illini67]

Wow!

 

[breadman]

CORBIN AGAIN!!

 

[Adnarel]

What is going on??? How is this happening?

 

[Lord Snow]

Great run by Corbin. I think Key has lost his starting job for the for see able future.

 

[TownieMatt]

Have to turn these drives into TDs to beat a good team on the road.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

We're actually leaving points on the field. We're flat outplaying them. Could easily be 24-10 right now.

 

[breadman]

Extend that lead baby!!

 

[TownieMatt]

Feels greedy to say we need TDs not field goals, but it's true.

 

[FT35]

Really needed the TD there. Corbin has been amazing and we're winning the TO battle.

Defensive line needs to force more mistakes from Armstrong.

 

[Adnarel]

Not greedy. It's necessary; there's lots of tick left, and it's foolish to count Nebraska out.
