Ya, Illinois doesn't win games this way. We had all the momentum, the crowd was quieted, and had the chance to march down the field and rest our d. What a lost opportunity. We had to win the TO battle and now we have a lot to make up.

Beatty is just not big to be out there. Terrible fumble
Fumbles, interceptions, and personal fouls generally will decide who wins in a battle between two good teams.
Illini down one, but need to keep it there to win this game.

Ugh, crushing turnover. However, we are only down 3, and we have the ball with 75% of the game in front of us. Let’s score 7 and give our defense a long rest to regroup!!

I see we've hit the first valley in the thread.
This is the first time I've ever seen him, but he looks pretty good.
Yeah get him out. Its already too late but at least send a message.

Plenty of time left, plus we get the ball to start the 3rd. Just hang in there, offense is moving the ball.
It's pretty demoralizing. Not game over, but hard to not express frustration.
Has the composure of a senior QB
Zy thought he was the TE there
Should have chucked the ball down field....
Can I just say, Altmyer and Raiola's haircut look so silly. I'm probably aging myself some, but it looks like shaggy dog hair on their head.
he’s good
So far I like how we're playing minus the bad mistake. If we keep this effort up we'll come out on top. Long drive here ending in a TD
I'd rather have Dixon in that slot receiver than Beatty...

If it was the end of the half I'd agree. We've already had a mistake in the 1st qtr, good idea IMHO to not possibly compound it.
Two good passes in a row for Altmeyer only to be canceled out.
