Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[Epsilon]

Juice man…

 

[TheChief4Life]

God damn.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I mean… Juice is just guessing out there. Just brutal

 

[ChiTown]

Terrible game plan on Smith.

 

[Carter Waller]

Are their receivers using invisibility?

 

[ChiefGritty]

Don’t want to sound all Beckman, but a catch here, a tackle there and the Illini would be right in the game. Even though the OSU offense seems to be able to do pretty much what it wants.

Never mind.

This game has exactly met expectations in every respect for both teams. Zero surprises.

 

[Retro62]

Good lord Clarke, how smoked can you get.

 

[Illini in Italy]

And now Clarke’s new Delta Tau Chi name is “Toast Too”. That was just horrendous technique on his part

 

[Ander1345]

There's the nail.

 

[thehass]

Letting 1 guy beat us.

 

[skyIdub]

Lmao. Whatever you do...give Smith 25 yards of cushion. Good lord.

 

[RML]

Ok, that guy's good.

 

[phats22]

wish we would have spent money differently in the secondary vs d line ....

 

[dsg]

Getting stopped on that last 4th down was the back breaker.
The climb just got much steeper.

 

[OskieWowWow]

Basically a repeat of last year's game without all the glaring special teams mistakes

 

[spotter]

Ballgame.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

He's so creative, until he's not...and it's at the worst possible times it seems.

We are facing a massive talent deficit on that side of the ball. Our only option for success is to take chances. We just play them straight up, they maul us 100%. At least this way we stand a chance.

 

[BWBW]

Let's show some pride on this next drive.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Juice man…

He's been absolutely awful, but not giving him help over the top isn't ideal. For those who are wondering why we're not playing press.....that's why.

 

[Rap47]

They have abused #6 all game.

 

[Hereforit]

Terrible game plan on Smith.

This can’t be overstated. Fact. No adjustment there all game is beyond perplexing.

 

[Ryllini]

Man, just get the PI, Juice. You can’t get blended like that. You can’t run with him or guess his route. You have to try and stay in his pocket. You get a PI so be it atleast you aren’t on the mix tape.

 

[phats22]

Terrible game plan on Smith.

lets challenge their best player to beat us......

 

[skyIdub]

Ok, that guy's good.

Yes, but....50 year old me could make catches in the NCAA if you gave me 10 yards of open field.

Now...I would die immediately afterwards...but I'm gonna catch that one.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

I'm not mad about this game. Overall illini played better than I expected. I have some optimism for the rest of the season
