Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[WSIOTCSS]

Ohio State might score a touchdown every drive

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

How is he that open?

Do you want the truth(athleticism and a complete talent mismatch) or hope(lack of communication).

The talent discrepancy is a joke.

 

[LuckyIllini]

Hauck needs to go.

 

[Ander1345]

I thought this defense was supposed to attack?

 

[Illini in Italy]

Resetich’s Delta Tau Chi name is now “Toast”.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

At least play the ball and take a chance. Mac just watched that happen basically

 

[SemperFiIllini]

So who is gonna be the new DC next yr? Any early favorites?

 

[KingWolf11]

That receiver actually lowered his heart rate on that route.

He will probably be the #1 pick and we dont have any dudes on defense so makes sense lol

 

[biglug58]

Is Resetich as good as we can do back there? He’s not having a very good year and now he’s trying to cover Ohio State’s receivers?

 

[Hereforit]

I have no idea why we don’t bracket Smith and take our chances. The only time Smith doesn’t get his in when he is bracketed, otherwise there is basically no shot at shutting him down.

 

[BWBW]

Now is the time to score, offense. Long drive, no penalties, get a score.

 

[skyIdub]

OSU punter can just do his homework on the sideline today.

 

[TheChief4Life]

The good news is this:

So, at least it looks like I’ll blow out my opponent in fantasy.

That matters, right? Right…?

 

[wncillini]

That dude jogged through our secondary. Jogged.

I was hoping for 41-10 but so far looking like an Indiana whoopin'.

Good news about nil is you can get into the mix of the good teams in a hurry. Bad news is you can lose momentum in a hurry and it's looking more like we missed big on talent.

Not loving when illinois is again the reason people on the other team are making history.

 

[FightinILL]

No shot in football with our recruiting and NIL

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Clarke has regressed

It’s not 1 on 1 coverage. Looks like horrible attempts at bracket coverage on the sidelines with players having no clue how to play that type of coverage. My only guess is that Hauck tried implementing changes this week but the players didn’t have enough time to understand and execute it.

 

[Illini in Italy]

Gonna be a long day

 

[gary?]

As Bret said, we’re at a $25M roster payroll deficit, the talent disparity is fairly obvious.

lame excuse. northwestern is on our level and they looked competent at iu. bret also screwed up the D by not firing henry quickly enough and our recruiting suffered, including of our own guys. bret hired hauck.
bret’s been very good for us, but this defense is a joke.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Does Hauser ever go through his progressions?

And great run!!

 

[dsg]

RUN BABY RUN!

 

[biglug58]

Laughery!

 

[Hereforit]

Hey man, our O-line right now… major props considering how decimated they are

 

[Ryllini]

As Bret said, we’re at a $25M roster payroll deficit, the talent disparity is fairly obvious.

That wasn't a 25 million talent deficit on that play, that was coaching malpractice.

 

[BWBW]

Great run
