Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[ChicagoIllini]

Hold them to 3 here to say in the game?

 

[ChiefGritty]

It ended up being a holding but Jake Hansen saved a TD establishing an edge on that play. That's what we gotta do.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

We need to force some turnovers to get back into this.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Gonna need to force a turnover or 5 to stay in this

 

[BWBW]

Pressure

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Big down.

 

[Halloweenie]

Why did we go back to Sandy? Last week we just caught the ball

 

[ChiefGritty]

Watch the fake here guys

 

[SampsonRelpenk]

Our LBs are just not fast enough to cover slot receivers.

 

[bombayIllini]

Big victory for the IL D.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Holding them to a FG attempt there was huge.

 

[ChiefGritty]

Our LBs are just not fast enough to cover slot receivers.

No one's LB's are. That's a scheme and personnel breakdown.

 

[BWBW]

Let's score.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Our D is improving quicker than theirs is. We have a chance!

 

[ChicagoIllini]

Good recovery by the D. Illini cannot afford such horrible special teams play.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Hope he's not a cat...

 

[ChiefGritty]

Allegretti is really good.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

KEEP RUNNING THE BALL.

 

[ChiefGritty]

Wow, they are jumping like crazy at Corbin, Bonner had a wide open lane there.

 

[SampsonRelpenk]

GO FOR IT

 

[ChiefGritty]

You can feel the bust coming here can't you?

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Hey, a catch!

 

[ChiefGritty]

The reason we're passing is because Nebraska is double-dog-daring us. Wiiiiiiide open lanes.

 

[MrOizo]

Yes!! Offense stepping up now, need a score here badly.

 

[GoIllini23]

Slowing our own momentum

 

[BZuppke]

Yes but let’s run first and pass like that. OC Smith has really made an impact.
