Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[dsg]

Now for a nice long drive to give the defense a rest

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Fair catch it! Special teams are terrible, besides Chow

 

[aaeismacgychel]

In positive news our run defense was pretty passable in my opinion. Need to keep up that energy and tackling all game

 

[BoiseBaller]

Let the kickoff go FFS.

 

[skyIdub]

Good lord. Could we just get smart, fundamental football? I'm not asking for much.

 

[Scoregasm]

Bad decision to run that out Aidan.

 

[gary?]

who is number 8?

 

[TheChief4Life]

Why return that? Just take the ball at the 25 please.

EDIT: plus stupid penalties…

Come on guys… you know everything is going to be against us today

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Why are you taking the ball out? and then you get an unsportsman. Starting at the 5

It's just not a well coached team guys.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Over/under on tOSU punts today?

0.5

 

[Lakes333]

Were getting screwed already by the officials.

 

[Boricua Illini]

Ohh boy !!!

Not where we want to start our first drive with Lunney's Kryptonite

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Were getting screwed already by the officials.

Like OSU needs any help here

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I don’t know what happened there but to return the ball to just around the 10 and get an unsportsmanlike on your first possession is absolutely insane and cannot happen

 

[Illini-Rule]

News flash for the officials, you don't have to screw us for OSU to win this game running away.

 

[kyillinifan]

What a way to start

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

If you're talking about our coordinators....maybe, but Bielema has made us respectful(maybe not today).

Not one of our coaches, however, should not be judged today. We're out manned everywhere. Our donors probably need to take this in.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

who is number 8?

Probably Cam Thomas, who Bret was pissed at last week for not playing in the system.

 

[someillinoisfan]

What the heck was that!

 

[Battle89]

I know a lot of folks like him but listening to Gus Johnson slobber all over OSU the whole game is beyond my capabilities.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Idiotic. Absolutely idiotic. You’re not a dog. No need to hump people after the play

 

[…INI!]

I don’t know what happened there but to return the ball to just around the 10 and get an unsportsmanlike on your first possession is absolutely insane and cannot happen

Soon to be punting and soon another OSU td.

 

[TooHot4Tots]

Dumb penalty but id play him immediately with that type of fight!!

 

[Homecoming 2019]

I don’t know what happened there but to return the ball to just around the 10 and get an unsportsmanlike on your first possession is absolutely insane and cannot happen

Wouldn't be an OSU game without a thousand miscues to go along with -27.5 line

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Penalty is a little soft though. Give me a break.
