Game Thread: Illinois at Oregon

[ILL-CONCEIVED]

I was expecting a loss but not a complete humiliation.

Maybe OR will play second and third string guys part of the next half. It will be interesting to compare them to IL's first team.

I thought complete humiliation was in play, this is Just a really bad matchup for us.

Man Oregon is good, BUT REFS CALL THESE DAMN PENALTIES FOR US PLEASE!

 

[FloridaMan]

I guess refs are really are not familiar with the facemask rules for a tackler. Good God

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Welp. Oregon is better than Illinois. Illinois is good, but not Oregon good. Someday Illinois will be Oregon good.

I wish I had confidence that this was true.

How is that not DPI? How do they miss this in real time?

 

[Battle89]

So much for the stay healthy hope

 

[Krombopulos_Michael]

Oregon fans with no class. Let’s boo bc an offensive player is hurt, certainly a benefit in faking an injury? Give me a break

 

[FloridaMan]

It's some awful play, but again, if laying an absolute egg today means we come out hard our next 4 games, I'll take it. This one was always going to be incredibly tough to win even if we played our best. The next 4, we can't afford a bad game

Totally agree

I wish I had confidence that this was true.

Confidence at this stage is unwarranted, but every single one of us should have hope. Many currently elite programs weren’t always that way … only thing in our way has A-L-W-A-Y-S been ourselves.

Beatty!

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

The double reverse flea flicker! That's what I'm talking about!

 

[UCantHideYer]

Feed Hank!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Well, McCray just trucked a dude. So that's nice

 

[Illini-Rule]

Aiken makes that block and it's a first down.

 

[fklein]

Lets go for it. Nothing to lose.

 

[illinifan4249]

This game looks more like what the analytics predict rather than what the records predict.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh good lord, Arkin, just whiff on that block that would've been an easy 1st down

WHO SENT PURDUE TO PLAY IN THIS WEEK'S GAME???

 

[Illini-Rule]

3 missed tackles.... that is what speed does for you.

 

[LoveLovie]

You can turn the tackling slider up any time, thanks

 

[abchew2]

This is the worst tackling I’ve seen all year. My goodness.

 

[Scoregasm]

I'm glad we provided Oregon with an extra practice this week.

Just need one of our alums to start a gazillion dollar shoe company

The West Coast is best described as post-civilization … and they’re bizarrely proud of it.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Lets go for it. Nothing to lose.

Yeah, I mean does it really matter if it's 28-3 or 35-3 at the half. You aren't coming back from either of those. But if you convert a 4th down and get it to 28-10, them MAYBE a few things go right in the second half and there is a small chance to make a game of it. But none of that matters because we punted and are accepting the L.
