Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[band camp]

From 10-9 to 24-9 without a possession.

I'm feeling that too.

I have 0 confidence in this defense.

From 10-9 to 24-9 without a possession.

If that happens, it's over.

 

[FloridaMan]

Embarrassing we're actually making Kaliakmanis look even slightly competent

Agree. An ounce of pressure and the guy folds like a cheap suit. Our D line can't get within 10 yards of him. Dial up a blitz or 3, Jeez! Unbelievable.

 

[Coop70]

How so very Illinois of us.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Gent with the ears hurting with his alliteration

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Wow just absolutely bullied the line on that sneak

Perfect play to epitomize this defense today. Weak, slow, zero jump, zero energy and seemingly zero cares in the world about it.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Good job by Clarke there

 

[Illiniwek66]

Does Henry survive the offseason?

 

[Epsilon]

Perfect throw. Hard to guard that.

 

[suburbanILLINI]

Fire Henry!

 

[thehass]

Nice throw and catch

 

[TheChief4Life]

Sigh…

And, it’s not like we’re getting “destroyed”, but I just can’t see how we get “into” this game.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Good play by their WR. Not much you can do about that. Well defended, better play

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Not feeling good knowing we don't even get the ball to start half 2... can easily be 24-9 by the time we get the ball back

[Second place is 1st loser]

I have 0 confidence in this defense.

They're getting pushed all over the field. Pretty embarrassing.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Credit to Strong. Was a great snag.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

First series of the second half will be huge for momentum

 

[dsg]

Bret better turn this nonsense around during the break.

 

[Coop70]

Down by one td + 2 conversion, possible to overcome.

 

[RoundBalcs]

We are frauds. But, it could be worse

 

[band camp]

We got dominated in the 1st half. D starts out there to start the 2nd.
Can Henry adjust or will the calls get louder for his replacement?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Man have we just completely abandoned Terrence Brooks?

 

[Scoregasm]

We seem to play worse as the season moves on...especially Nov.and Dec. We desperately need to build depth in this program.
