Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Second place is 1st loser]

I was thrilled, then I switched over the the Cubs really quickly. May not go back.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Great catch Hudson. Hank being Hank. Perfect touch Luke!

 

[Epsilon]

I guess we’re gonna do a shootout again with PU.

 

[illiniharrison]

Beatty and Luke are the offensive

 

[ChiTown]

Time for the D to step up.

 

[Illini2010-11]

I am really going to miss Beatty and Altmyer connection after this season. Both elite!

That pitch and catch is next level.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Finally!!! I Formation for Feagin with Luke under center in short yardage. Like Feagin deep with more speed and vision on those situations! Leman has been wanting that and me too!

 

[BDMAN]

TD. Can I relax yet?

NO!!!!!!

 

[FloridaMan]

I'm telling you right now. Hank is better than 3/4 of the guys getting Heismann hype right now.

 

[blife]

let's get a 3 and out, then ground and pound 4th

 

[FloridaMan]

I am really going to miss Beatty and Altmyer connection after this season. Both elite!

Might be a couple years if 5 in 5 passes

 

[skyIdub]

Lol......low key hoping they score again so Luke and MVB get another quarter

 

[From the cheap seats]

I am really going to miss Beatty and Altmyer connection after this season. Both elite!

That pitch and catch is next level.

Beatty might be back if NCAA approves the 5-year plan.

 

[Battle89]

Clement bails us out

Really tough catch on replay

 

[NCIllini10]

What the F are we doing with those play calls?

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

That off tackle run for Cal'il we had only 5 guys in the box for Purdue and #8 gets him in the backfield. That should be a first down run, I hate how inconsistent this veteran O-line is. Just bury this team!

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

we do give up a $hitton of yards on D

 

[zentrails]

Beatty is a god. Luke is a god.

And they both keep getting better each game as well!

 

[illiniharrison]

THERE we go!

Admittedly.... this was a very uneasy feeling 10-point run we went on.... lol

In Luke he trust

 

[skyIdub]

That off tackle run for Cal'il we had only 5 guys in the box for Purdue and #8 gets him in the backfield. That should be a first down run, I hate how inconsistent this veteran O-line is. Just bury this team!

I have a sneaky suspicion that PU knows our blocking schemes with this line and we are slow to adjust.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

It's like we play prevent the whole game. I'm in the stands looking at huge tracks of green around every reciever.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We line up so far off the receivers it's a free 7yds every single down if Purdue wants it. I'll say again, I do not understand how this is the defensive scheme Henry decided was the correct one to go with, but I guess our corners must be completely incapable of playing press man, because that's all I got. This coverage just makes no sense whatsoever

 

[Illini2010-11]

Felt like an ugly qtr, but the box score shows the Illini +6. Take that every day on the road. Finish strong and head home with the Cannon and prepare for the Battle of Illibuck next Saturday!

 

[pruman91]

KF TD # 2 !!!!!!!!!!....................ILLINI now lead 40-21..................Hott Dam# thank you ma'am.................Hank Beatty will be playing at the next level someday.........he really really will........so will Luke...........so will Jacas.....so will Olano........and so on and so on and so on..........

I love the fight in this Fighting Illini team.........I really really do....................

 

[zentrails]

Looks like we are using the run out the clock strategy.

It's really hot on the field and we have more players, so not a bad strategy, IMO.
They are gonna run out of gas in the 4th, I hope
