Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[TheodoreRex]

I guess it's good we have Bryant and Beatty

 

[Illini-Rule]

Oh no PB hurt or out of breath?

 

[Oracle21]

We run way too much on first down

 

[Da88]

Getting this program over the hump to a 9 win season is a tough pull.

 

[Epsilon]

PB needs the ball more

 

[SoCal Illini]

I don’t think Rutgers will bite on play action or be letting receivers behind them so don’t think we’ll get any deep balls/quick scores. Need a good drive with least a fg here then gotta get a stop.

Edit: disregard.

 

[ChiefGritty]

Oof, #4 for Rutgers is not going to enjoy watching that back on film.

 

[battle]

I just cannot imagine a scenario where our offense scores twice and our defense gets enough stops for it to matter.

after 65 yards to PB, there just might be

Cramps - did you not see the training staff?

 

[zentrails]

PAT F*****G BRYANT

Yep, hopefully he just has a cramp

 

[RML]

Don’t understand this.. u would have needed to go for 2 eventually anyway

Not if their next score is a field goal.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Alright, let's put this in the endzone.

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

He looks good, probably just a cramp and out of breath

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Why not McCray!??? Cmon Lunney!!!

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

Holding in enzone #10 defense on that roll out

We ran to the outside??? Say WHAT?

TOUCHDOWN TRACK SPEED

 

[New Creation]

 

[OrangeLife]

Haven’t felt this disgusted by an Illini performance in quite a while.

Also, just to add to the misery … announcing is bad and refs are HORRIBLE.

The refs have missed a ton of calls for and against, but some critical ones against us. Were they always this bad? The announcers would be great for high school, not so much for a P5 game.

 

[LFOD]

Laughery showing that speed we’ve heard so much about.

Oh come on Purdue was WAAAAAAY worse than this.

That was, as I said at the time, a near-death experience for the Bielema Era.

By total coincidence, I had to follow that one on my phone. So, it was more heart attack inducing stress than disgust.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Wow. Okay, defense, time to step up.
