Game Thread: Illinois at Washington

[pweo]

Henry deserves a lot of criticism but there have been a lot of guys in position to make plays today.

 

[Redbull]

Gonna go make an offering to the turnover fairy

Have you told your first born yet?

 

[SemperFiIllini]

Unless they stop themselves we aren't capable of stopping them

Not biting on this one Henry’s burner.

We are the worst tackling defense in the Big Ten. Even a decent tackle on their 3rd down and they are punting.

I agree Clement should have made the catch (even though he lost his footing), but Luke has to make a better pass there. And then he tries to make an impossible throw through two defenders.

If Luke leads Clement there he sends him to the hospital. There was a safety over the top waiting. It was a perfect backshoulder throw. If you're a college receiver that's a ball you can't drop

Sure would like to see a game turning pick six here by our secondary. The linebackers though have hands like feet, so I don't expect it from them.

Problem with the DB's is they have to be within 10 yards of the intended target to get an INT.

I just checked and the Illinois defense has not gotten off the field on a 3rd down this season. It’s true.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

When you watch this do you see two CFP teams out there? Lol. This has Music City Bowl written all over it.

Our guys are just not good enough to stop UW

We are not a playoff team. Our Defense is NOT ready for a top 12 tourney. I'd be happy with a New Years Day bowl like last year.

 

[DeeAndDWill]

I’d be angrier about the end of the half, but when the defense can’t make a single play not sure that matters all that much

 

[illinihoosier]

This defense which relies heavily on turnovers is the equivalent of a three point reliant basketball team. Great when it works. Sucks when the three-pointers don’t go in or you don’t get turnovers.

 

[dainjazoner]

right back to the 3 man front. this crap just wasted senior yr altmyer and ended the season

 

[joeybcrazy13]

Sending out an amber alert for Gabe Jacas

 

[Da88]

Weak sauce defense.

[Mr. Roberts]

Another missed opportunity.

[Homecoming 2019]

[Pikeillinifan]

Another missed TO

 

[SuperMetroid]
