Game Thread: Illinois at Oregon

[illinidarrin]

3rd and 17, they allow 16 yards. Another play, The QB tries to run to the outside and or LB was there for a loss and misses. The next play, a TD run.

No injuries is really the only important thing at this point. The game is lost

This is what it looks like when you combine the second half defense from the Purdue game with an actual good offense on the other side.

Except there's no former players and coaches stealing signals here.

No issue getting beat at all. Out played on all levels and out coached by a mile. Un acceptable

 

[1970 John]

Goal from here: keep it within 30?

50

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Our rich alum bought Sasha Banks for his WWE competitor lol

And that was an awful investment.

Well, we knew LB athleticism is a problem

Yep

 

[Mr. Roberts]

I'll echo the previous comment. Get out of here healthy, focus on the last 4 winnable games.

We're gonna lose by a million

Obviously, we're playing an elite team on their home field and it's showing. Avoid injuries and come back strong next week.

 

[Illini-Rule]

Just cover the spread…

Not going to happen..

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Rough watch...

 

[HailtotheChief]

That was a hold by the WR with his hands outside the numbers on 3rd n 17. That was a huge non call.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Our defensive gameplan is atrocious.

3rd and 17 and they convert. Oof.

I'm not thrilled with it, but what's he going to do? The talent gap here is enormous. He tried to rush three to keep the Oregon skilled guys in front of the DB's and it didn't work. He sent an extra guy and it didn't work. Their athletes are really impressive.

 

[Retro62]

On the replay of that 3rd and 17, it sure looked like the Oregon WR started his block before the ball was thrown

 

[Illiniguy13]

Our front 7 just aren’t very good…And fans rightfully should raise an eyebrow at Aaron Henry. I don’t care if it’s cliche to call out a coordinator, he ain’t it.

 

[LoveLovie]

Best part about this is that it’s only one game. Cannot allow it to stay in their heads and keep losing

 

[thehass]

We're gonna lose by a million

More like 1,000,000

 

[aaeismacgychel]

They look fine. We look bad.

Yeah, the hope was they'd show up and play a D game while we played an A. Unfortunately, we're not even at a D right now. The good news is I'd much rather have us play a terrible game this week than next one. But as for this game, if we keep playing like this, we're going home down by 40

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

1 man rush

I’m afraid Aaron Henry just doesn’t get it. I know this is Oregon, but all season long it almost seems like Aaron just calls schemes at random hoping that it will work. I just don’t get his logic sometimes

 

[abchew2]

Oregon significantly better than us but we are playing darn bad and helping them plenty.

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

This game is a true reality check….did somebody said playoffs?…..

Only if the Illini won.

 

[SuperMetroid]

We look slow and scared. Not a great combo

I don't think we are even forcing them to play a B+ game. They are playing a C game and we are letting them.
