Game Thread: Illinois vs Charlotte

[PNWIllini]

This team plays dumber than they did for Lovie. How is that even possible.

 

[TheChief4Life]

That seems weak, but I think the announcer is correct: it would seem worse if it went uncalled.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Good teams take advantage of mistakes, bad teams do not. Its mental. BB needs to fix this

 

[LFOD]

We’re gonna need a bunch of takeaways to win this game

 

[Illinois_Corn]

Wow..a sack! I can't believe it...

 

[LFOD]

Finally a stop

 

[Qwiksilvur]

It’s so nuts how bad this offense is. I mean it’s impossibly bad. Idk if our personnel is just that horrendous so Bielema has no options or what.

 

[Coop70]

The worst part is as a fan I no longer need anything to numb up. The pain has become a familiar fact of life.

Art needs a chance

Because we are limited with poor QB play. Teams will stack the box.

 

[LFOD]

peters is fired up (not really)

I think it's because our personnel is that bad. McCray is a great newcomer, but the returning guys weren't all that great last year, and the ones that were decent at all are hurt.

Teams are trying to lose to us. We refuse to let them.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

peters is fired

FIFY

We are limited because we won't pass the ball on non-passing downs. Teams don't stack the box against strong-armed qbs. They stack when they know you are going to keep running the ball.

FORD down..

 

[IlliniForceOne]

I think we are seeing why the ball isn’t thrown Luke Fords way more often.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

OMG, lets throw into a double team.

 

[TheChief4Life]

I think we are seeing why the ball isn’t thrown Luke Fords way more often.

I will admit, my eyes are being opened.

 

[Illinois_Corn]

FREE SITKOWSKI!!!

 

[illiram11]

Our kickers are both really good (just looking for something positive to say)

 

[PNWIllini]

Sitkowski does not have his helmet on. Make of that what you will.

Weren't there pass attempts on non-passing downs the first drive and how did that go?

 

[ILL_INI]

Crappy spot

 

[BWBW]

Nice gain
