Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

[RIP_Chief_2003]

X. Scott, Matt Bailey, Juice Clarke are All BIG guys.

The front 7 is the weakness. And in return, it’s causing the secondary to look like a weakness.

1st and 30 is causing our secondary to look like a weakness…

Pass rush is pathetic

 

[DrMac210]

No pass rush, and terrible tackling is NOT a recipe for success

 

[CDRUSN]

lf our defense can't stop Duke, can the Duke offense do us a solid and stop themselves? If they do overcome 2 ten yard penalties and score another TD, we will have our answer.

Dick Butkus is rolling over in his grave….. Any self respecting linebacker who ever played knows you can’t arm tackle and hit guys high like this!!

You can blame it on the coaches,( which we should) but these kids have been tackling since PeeWee..,,,, It’s on them too!!

Ohio State’s gonna put 100 up on us.

 

[LFOD]

Thanks for all the penalties, Duke

 

[Miles Leonard]

Bailey with a REAL MAN'S tackle. Finally.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Bailey had ENOUGH

 

[skyIdub]

MATT BAILEY SAID I'VE F@#KING HAD ENOUGH OF THIS SH$T

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Good hit Bailey!

 

[foby]

Bailey....He's our 1.

 

[TheGMan]

Bailey showing everyone else how to tackle

 

[Bilbo]

That is leadership by example

 

[FloridaMan]

Wish we had a LB who could hit like Bailey. Instead they grab at guys shoulder pads as they blow by.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

That feels like a win for the defense….

 

[Mr. Roberts]

1st and 30. 40 yards of penalties on the drive. And we "hold" them to a field goal.

 

[LFOD]

Nice hit!!

[Oracle21]

lol took 30 yards of penalties to hold them to 3

 

[Hereforit]

Bailey… the one guy that can be relied upon on this D. Thank you.

 

[skyIdub]

Duke offense plus Matt Bailey is a lethal weapon on defense.

 

[AssemblyHallForever]

We need 6 here. Got to run clock and give the D a break.

1st and 30. 40 yards of penalties on the drive. And we "hold" them to a field goal.

The refs hold them.

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

That is leadership by example

Imagine what this D would look like today if he had been ejected

 

[LouHenson]

When the other team has one player maybe a spy on him? I don’t get our defense af all?
