Game Thread: Illinois at Washington

[The pop of Champaign]

Lovely job!!

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

This freaking defense simply can't give up points going into the half. That'd be such a momentum killer.

 

[illinidarrin]

We flipped a switch here in the 2nd quarter. Defense has to step up.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Is this the best quarter Illinois has played all year? I mean, let’s not ruin it in the last two minutes, but 13 minutes in so far it’s been pretty good.

[LFOD]

Don’t look now, but I think we have the lead

 

[skyIdub]

Am I the only one seeing the extended arm by the DB? How much that affected the play is up for discussion but it looked like impeding the WR.

Fortunately you are not!! Zebra has eyes!

 

[Retro62]

The offense is playing with attitude, I hope the defense is inspired

 

[Miles Leonard]

Way to capitalize on a couple gifts, one from UW and one from the officials.

 

[IlliniFan85]

Major gift but that personal foul should've been on both the play prior

Missed obvious hands to face on it. Only reason Kreutz was pushing.

 

[Illini4Christ]

Don’t look now, but I think we have the lead

Will we put any pressure on the quarterback in the two minute defense?

 

[Chase321]

Touched it down, Illinois!

 

[BWBW]

Can we stop their 2 minute drill?

 

[the juiceman cometh]

I'm gonna miss Altmeyer.

 

[BDMAN]

I am going to say it again we need a 3 and out or a turnover, I prefer the TO

 

[From the cheap seats]

I want to soak in however many quarters of football Luke has as an Illini. One of my all-time Illini favorites on and off the field.

 

[SemperFiIllini]

Now if Washington would be kind enough to drop some more passes or even turn it over, it would be greatly appreciated

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Quick, multiple choice quiz:
On this drive, Washington will score…
A) 0
B) 3
C) 6
D) 7

 

[Scoregasm]

Thought that Arkin may not have possession there as he went out of bounds..glad they kicked it quick.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

I'm gonna miss Altmeyer.

that statement x100

it may be YEARS before we get another as good as him

 

[Witherspoon_illini]

It’s looking like our game should’ve been the CBS game and the Iowa game should’ve the big ten network game

 

[TheodoreRex]

So.. 2 minutes left in the half, I'll wager my life savings that Henry essentially plays conservative, prevent like defense- we get cut through like swiss cheese and it'll be 21-17 at half.. Tell me I'm wrong?

 

[BZuppke]

Nvm, on the replay I see the extension and push off. This board would be howling if that was against us though.

All is fair in love, war and B1G football

 

[skyIdub]

Seriously...just average defense please! Tackle! Don't give up YAC! Get around some blocks ffs!
