Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[CubsIlliniFan]

Inept at the goal line. Our line is getting abused. We cannot push through at the 1 with 5 tries, ugh

 

[Retro62]

The fact that I don’t throw up my hands and yell “Oh No!” after another penalty negates a score tells me all I need to know... I expect the outcome

 

[Michael Myers]

I'll probably never warm to the "need 1 yard, go from the shotgun" approach.

I just don't like it.

 

[BWBW]

Doesn't a fair catch come out to the 25?

Well... he sure wasn't down.

 

[Illini-Rule]

I don't think see have blitzed once today.

 

[Illini-Rule]

Un freaking believable

 

[EthanM]

Ugh

 

[LoveLovie]

I don't think see have blitzed once today.

I believe we did early and that was their first td

 

[DocMorgan]

Watch our d line on that touchdown pass. Pathetic!

 

[mba98]

Fire the DC. Oh wait......

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

I don't think see have blitzed once today.

I don't think it would have made a difference.

 

[GraingerDanger]

At least there won’t be an excuse for retaining Lovie. This is the result we need for things to improve in the future

 

[LubbockIlliniFan]

Is our D line even trying to pressure the QB. One of the guys was just standing not even trying

 

[Fr8trn16]

All those players and one player beats them all!

 

[EthanM]

I mean literally our two guys tackled each other. That’s how bad our defense is

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

I'm starting to think this five-year long experiment in always permitting opposing QBs to have as much time as they would like to stand in the pocket and scan the field for open receivers while four pass rushers bounce harmlessly against a wall of O-lineman maybe just might not be working.

 

[Steelyunk]

Cue the Benny Hill music.

 

[CheifKeith91]

We need a new db coach

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Hilariously bad.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Watch our d line on that touchdown pass. Pathetic!

That was ridiculous.

 

[kyillinifan]

3rd and 10 and can’t hold them. Catches the ball with three guys around him. Sad

 

[EthanM]

Fire the DC. Oh wait......

Don’t wait, go ahead and do it

 

[Illinir1]

Lovie ball at it's finest on full display.

 

[Retro62]

Well...lots of individuals associated with Illini football did things wrong leading to that play...does that pretty much cover it?

 

[Fr8trn16]

Sure wasn't! Both D tackles were standing looking and not getting after the quarterback! And it cost us!
