Game Thread: Illinois at UCLA

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Defense came to play sans first drive…

 

[RDS]

Way to go D!!!!

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Thank you for that, gift.

Lord that was dumb

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

Omg thank you for not pinning us back again with a punt

 

[ChiTown]

The defense is showing up and showing out.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Defense deserves ALL the flowers today.

 

[NarrowJ]

Great stop

Offense and Defense going in opposite directions now it seems

 

[FoundersClub]

A momentum play. Finally.
Let’s go to Boyd and capitalize

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

Big stop again by our defense!!! Great job! Matthew Bailey is amazing!

 

[TooHot4Tots]

Big stop. Can Coop call Offense

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

Great stop! Let's turn this into a score, boys!

 

[Illini2010-11]

Finally a low IQ coaching move from UCLA!

If the offense can somehow pull out a touchdown, this game feels winnable.

 

[wncillini]

Just keep the defense out there and tell them to run it and hit someone

 

[Illinisam]

Had to finally sync with radio. Insufferable

Totally agree. Tim Brando is ok but this other guy is a homer.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Defense making me proud tonight.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Oh baby! I scared the dog on that stop. LFG!

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

barely gets to the line of scrimmage.. "oh I don't know I don't think he got there". No @$@ man

 

[Rusty]

Can't believe they went for it. Even with a touchback there is no chance we could go 80 yards right now.

 

[New Creation]

 

[OskieWowWow]

What a waste of a great defensive effort. Didn't think I'd be saying that 2 months ago

 

[Oracle21]

I don’t know why UCLA would go for it there. They made 2 stupid plays tonight. That one and roughing the punter in the end zone

 

[FloridaMan]

You have to make them pay for that bonehead decision. Let's go offense!

 

[Scoregasm]

I'm only still watching this game because I am legit shocked at our defense.

 

[BWBW]

It's now or never, Offense.

 

[RML]

Lol, " don't think he got there"? About two yards short. ( Though the refs have been a little generous in their spots that way.)
