Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[EmeraldCityIllini]

We are completely outclassed, while not looking "completely" outclassed.

Our running game has looked ok, our run defense as well.
We have shown to be able to move the ball, and the defense looks better than any of our previous games, while playing by far the most talented opponent we have faced.

I can live with this.

2 components it seems. The overall operation is much improved.

But man. No reason this can’t be a 28-24 or 21-20 game right now based on just our mistakes and that’s annoying

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Come on defense. Need something.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That run blitz was so good it was an effective pass blitz

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Alright defense, there we effing go

 

[biglug58]

They’re punting! I didn’t think I’d see that today

 

[BWBW]

A stop?

 

[skyIdub]

Lol...this has to be OSU saying the punt team needs practice. Right?

 

[JKR]

Why catch that punt?

 

[BWBW]

Let's go offense!

 

[Ryllini]

We got let off the hook on 2nd. This is huge. Getting OSU in a 4 quarter game is the goal. Man, missing Trimble was big, but not wrapping Sayin up before 4’s 3rd td was bigger.
Keep fighting guys.

 

[RML]

Do you fair catch at the 5? Don't the odds say to let it go, and see if they can down it?

 

[Ryllini]

Lol...this has to be OSU saying the punt team needs practice. Right?

maybe, this is why I thought this game was more about OSU and their stuff they need more than what we offer in resistance until we are a problem for them in the 4th. Let’s be a problem in the 4th

 

[dbjm]

Why catch that punt?

And if he didn’t catch it, you’d be whining about it being downed inside the 5.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

They have more talent, but we have more focus right now. Come on fellas. Let's capitalize and make this winnable.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great run Ca’lil. Breaking that tackle

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

More holding penalties. Ugh.

 

[dsg]

Another shot in the foot.

 

[skyIdub]

Lmfao...but there's not a single hold during OSU runs.

 

[madillini4]

oh come on, dude. That’s not a hold.

 

[illinoistradition]

What a joke on these hold calls. Nothing called on all their defensive holds.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Might have been a hold, but that replay was not a good one to show it.

 

[biglug58]

These announcers bring nothing to the game…

 

[Hereforit]

Great to see Clement getting some play here today

 

[New Creation]

If this offense can get healthy. It is going to
Be hard to stop.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Lmfao...but there's not a single hold during OSU runs.

There really wasn’t anything there
