Game Thread: Illinois at UConn

[DonIllini]

This team has truly grown I remember in the past with a 1st quarter like the one the iLLINI just had it would be all downhill. 24 straight points and a cool calm QB I’m getting confident for the rest of the season. Let’s just finish UConn off and go home.

Surprised they didn't call excessive celebration on the kicker.

Don't forget that America today success is oppressive to the other team. Apologies for scoring and hugs to the opponents are required

Let's establish the running game, mix in some passes and put this thing away in the 3rd quarter.

Screw the running game. As long as they are playing 8 in the box, we need to go ahead and score a bunch of points. If they back off, then start thinking about it.

Aside from the INT, Peters has better stats than from his Akron total. Nice recovery.

By finish I hope you mean cover the spread. I’ve been talking up Illinois fb to my gambling friends all week. Really don’t feel like looking like a jackass(as if being an Illini fan wasn’t enough)

Whoa.....



............and whoa.

Trickeration......when you have a superior line and athletes. wtf? Just line it up and keep punching them in the ribs.

 

[Halloweenie]

And we Illinois again

 

[Deleted member 656517]

Ok Rod enough with Naggy like play calling

 

[Halloweenie]

And then Tony Allen goes down...we can not stand prosperity

 

[Hoppy2105]

Why does it feel like Stampley is always involved with our stupid turnovers?

 

[Halloweenie]

Wtf with these unsportsmanlikes

 

[Deleted member 656517]

I assume this’s an AAC officiating crew?

 

[OskeeWowzer]

Points off turnovers.......

 

[Big Kat]

Awful start. Why the trick play after the big return?

 

[skyIdub]

I bet the guy who bet $55K is feeling a little better now.

 

[Ramrod2010]

This team...

I mean, was it that tricky of a play? Stampley looked like he wasn’t supposed to get the handoff, poor execution. Defense still let them march right down their throats

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Just as were about to bury them. This feels like the usf game from last year only reverse roles.

 

[Halloweenie]

Well if it works you are a genius..what was Peters doing on the play.. terrible handoff...makes great plays mixed in with horrendous..as Robert predicted

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

That fumble was costly. Need to regroup.

 

[ChicagoIllini]

Momentum has definitely shifted.

Turnovers kill.

 

[Ramrod2010]

So it's going to be one of those quarters again?

 

[Illinisoccer]

Peters has missed some easy throws

 

[OskeeWowzer]

Now come the drops.....

 

[IllFanInMi]

We are making this team look like Penn State
