Game Thread: Illinois at Washington

[krushalot2005]

Yeah our defense is trash, A Henry seems like a great great guy but I don’t think he’s it…

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

No more FGs from here on out

I was so mad we kicked that FG. You kick the FG there if there’s a >10% chance your defense can get any stops all day … that’s not us.

 

[madillini4]

It's early..get a td

Tough environment, and our defense is deplorable.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

The issue is that alone with no push, the corners are awful in coverage. They're going to get thrashed if they press and go man.

 

[LouHenson]

Well… If the guy is going to tear apart your base defense that requires you to play actually no defense? Time for our D Cord to go I am afraid. This is pretty sad.

 

[RockfordIllini]

The one time we brought pressure it disrupted Williams. Please take nkte

 

[BDMAN]

Our defense has not stopped the once not once they kicked the defenses but since the opening kickoff. Henry is a good hut but he seems to br overmatched as a D coordinator. Maybe time for Bret to make a change on that side of the ball.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

This is the Washington team that Michigan held to 7 points last week? Did someone forget to give Henry a tape of that game?

 

[Oracle21]

Johnny Newton brought it every game. Jacas doesn’t

 

[aaeismacgychel]

What is going on with this defense …

If it's not Henry's gameplan to avoid the big play, I don't know what it is. It's certainly a disgrace though and we won't stop them once today if it continues. Staying 10yds off receivers in stationary zones is a coverage that just has no chance of working

 

[Gbop]

I truly believe that there needs to be a new DC after this season.

 

[RML]

We need a TD this time. Can't give them a chance to go up there scores.

 

[Nohops 73]

This is not going to work. If Henry continues with this defense we will give up 50

More like we will be lucky to hold them to 50.

 

[CDRUSN]

Our defensive combination of zero pass rush, soft zone coverage, and horrible tackling angles and technique is killing us thus far. If no adjustments are made, the Huskies will continue to mount TD drives and score at will. This defensive effort so far today is as bad as it was against IU earlier this year.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

So our blitz offense is to run slow counters into the line?

 

[RML]

Huskies are fired up. We're not.

 

[phats22]

apparently our o plan was on that same dry erase board .....

 

[TheodoreRex]

So the gameplan is to not rush their QB and spy him and make him throw.
He's rushed for 20 yards
Thrown 9/11 for 117 yards and 2 TD's.
So what is our gameplan again?

 

[spillini]

Score every possession or we toast

 

[TyroneHogglegg]

Maybe any insane talk about playoffs will stop after the obvious azz whooping they are gonna take today. Defense is not good.

 

[skyIdub]

No thats unfare shredded cheese makes the whole dish better

 

[Scoregasm]

Lunney loves to run up the gut for 1 yard.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Over under on number of Washington punts is 1.5…

 

[FloridaMan]

Pathetic first qtr for a team coming off a bye with so-called sights on the CFP. Good God, BB, please upgrade this staff. We look like we are asleep.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

I’m obviously not a football coach, but I am really shocked at our approach to this game after a bye week.
