Brace yourself... drink plenty of fluids, and have loved ones nearby.

 

[breadman]

I think we keep it close. Just a feeling.

 

[Greensboro]

I think we keep it close. Just a feeling.

That’s just gas

 

[Ramrod2010]

We almost had a 3 and out...

 

[TheInsider]

We may not see the Wisconsin punter today

 

[TownieMatt]

We're getting to that point in the season where we start quitting. We just quit on that drive.

 

[illini62707]

This is what happens u get beat 46-7. Six posts today. I dont blame em.

 

[TheInsider]

Last week was the needle in the balloon. The rest of the season is just the balloon flying through the air making weird noises after its been popped.

 

[IlliniCaboose]

2nd and 2 and we call 2 straight pass plays with a QB who couldn't throw his way out of a paper bag. Thank God we keep him in for his rushing ability.

 

[Neidermeyer]

The defense had no idea what they were doing there.

 

[dsg]

28 - 0 by the end of the 1st quarter.

 

[breadman]

At least the defense gets a quick rest.

 

[TownieMatt]

Oh, how badly I just want to cheer for a team that isn't an embarrassment.

 

[illini62707]

2ND and 2 and we throw twice. Nice Rod. Receiver wasn't open anyway.

 

[JucoIllini10]

Not a single defender reacted to the motioning player... Awful!!

 

[Deleted member 29907]

Big hold on that run by the wide out - but probably would just delay the score. At least call the obvious ones.

 

[Soxfreak64]

That was a miserable throw by AJ. And to his credit, at least he's trying to take something away from the superior team by just loading up the box. In the past, we've seen them content to just sit in base and get mauled.

Provided the team doesn't quit in the game, I'm going to leave this week the same way it started. Disappointed and uncertain.

 

[Hoppy2105]

Yeah, that was horrible play calling. I saw the info graphic showing that Wisconsin runs on 67% of their plays.

They know what they have, know their identity, and play to it. We don’t. Just run the ball forever. If you want to pass it at all, put MJ in. AJ just doesn’t seem to have the passing ability.

 

[RedRocksIllini]

Is Epstein hurt?

 

[IlliniCaboose]

Oh, how badly I just want to cheer for a team that isn't an embarrassment.

 

[breadman]

Nice weather.

 

[RedRocksIllini]

Nice weather.

Love watching football in this weather. Waiting for the football to start.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

2ND and 2 and we throw twice. Nice Rod. Receiver wasn't open anyway.

Crazy play call

 

[Neidermeyer]

Is Epstein hurt?

I thought the exact same thing
