Game Thread: Illinois at Ohio State

[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.

 

[Illini in Italy]

They’ll miss the extra point, we’ll get another FG, and the score will be . . .

34-16, same score as last year in Champaign . . .

 

[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......

 

[RDS]

I just can’t shake the feeling that this defense doesn’t have to be bottom quartile of MAC level bad.

 

[cadefitz]

Bobby Hauck should be fired into the sun. Yeah man, let’s leave the best player in college football and one of the best college wide receivers in history 1 on 1 all game

 

[FightinILL]

They have a small scoreboard though

 

[UCantHideYer]

If we can get Jeremiah Smith out of college some year, maybe 'Spoon can learn him a thing or two.

 

[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.

 

[LockportIllini70]

play the freshman and let them have their growing pains. Leave X and Juice in Columbus so they can enjoy their NIL

 

[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

 

[TGB]

Up the middle on 3rd and 2. Horrible call

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

I don't care where he ends up, I'm targeting Smith in fantasy football drafts next year

 

[DeonThomas]

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

 

[Oracle21]

Do we just not wanna double #4?

 

[DeeIL89]

Our coverage against Jeremiah Smith

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Great run Katin

 

[TwinCityBreaker]

Ref leaving the game with his conscience like "I just can't do this anymore"

 

[skyIdub]

When you put our DB's on an island and they go snorkeling.

 

[pvaughn8]

Don't tease me again offense! Get a damn TD here
