Game Thread: Illinois at Wisconsin

[Ryllini]

Sconnie deserves some credit, but what was our staff doing all week? This has been one of the most uninspired games called by Barry Lunney in a long time. Completely unacceptable on all fronts.

Make the coaches and players walk back from Wisconsin!!!

 

[RoundBalcs]

Copium, but maybe this game forces change where it’s needed

 

[westcoastillini]

Why did we call a blitz on 3rd and 14?? Wtf

 

[LurkerintheOpen]

Assuming a loss here and IF they win next week, this year is a disappointment. Argue with a wall.

 

[NASchamp]

No one wants this. What an embarrassing display.

 

[bjp84]

Third and 15. Have to get off the field.

 

[TentakilRex]

Chief Illiniwek, Alma Otter, and Kingfisher all have declined offers to be the mas.... I mean symbol of Illini football team.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Wow, a screen pass

We've had them set up, their QB just understands how to deliver the ball on a screen. Luke has gotten three batted down because he's trying to deliver a perfect ball. All you need is a catchable ball. Bug difference. The Wisconsin QB didn't look flashy getting the ball over the DL with that little jump pass, but it got there for a chunk play.

the punt team responsible for 10 of Wisconsin's points

 

[Oskeefan]

LB has a clean shot, blew it

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We need to spend some money on a long snapper for next year

 

[superfan]

Thank you, Hank Beatty.

Losing Xavier Scott was big for the defense, but the O Line has been average all year and that's not a Bielema norm.

Yeah I've tried really hard to have perspective with all of that, but tonight cancels out any reasonable defending of this defense.

This Wisconsin offense was absolutely pathetic until tonight.

 

[LuckyIllini]

2nd most points Wisky has scored all year
Miami Ohio gave up less than Illinois lol

 

[RML]

Ok, they seem to be playing prevent. That gives us a chance

 

[Battle89]

Guess the QB draws are out now

 

[RyIllini]

Incompetent offensive line, muffed punt, shanked punt, fumbled punt, conceding every 3rd & long possible, nonexistent running game, receivers not looking for targets, did I mention the offensive line?, and linebackers missing tackles. On a 3-7 team.

Anything I missed?

 

[dsg]

Whatever the mojo was that Bret put on the offensive line a few weeks ago has definitely worn off.

 

[Leelnd]

All of a sudden we are doing a quick pass game. Where has this been all game.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Welp this I guess is the game

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Why did we call a blitz on 3rd and 14?? Wtf

To get them out of FG range.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Coming into this game the most Wisconsin had scored against Big Ten competition was 13 points.

Special Teams gifted them 10, so let's keep some perspective.
