Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

[Oracle21]

Bad loss. Gonna be a long year

 

[FoundersClub]

Disgraceful.

It’s going to be a very long season, boys.

I think we can take Ohio State

 

[Illini1977]

Seasons over, Bobby has to go. Lucky for a bowl game

 

[Juju]

We finally learn how to keep them to a couple yards...problem was, they only needed 1 yard...

 

[jrock]

Pathetic im done

 

[New Creation]

4-5 win season max with this defense

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

You can't blame Lunney. The D sucked all day.

As a whole, no. However, the D handed them three stops and the play calling went pee wee league vanilla.

This is going to be a long year gentlemen and ladies. Enjoy next week because that might be about it.

All three phases failed. The successful fake punt was the turning point.

Last year was a really bad sign if we’re keeping it a buck

 

[Hereforit]

Unreal. Love ya, Bret. But you know it begins and ends with the boss. Time to fix it, and fast.

 

[FloridaMan]

These dud announcers sure do wax poetic about mighty Duke. Puke

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Very strange nobody there to stop him up the middle. Don’t get the defensive positioning there on 4th and 1.

 

[altgeld88]

As horrendous as the D was we should have won if Hauser varied his looks and Lunney kept loose. Frustrating

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

It’s gonna be a long year.

 

[LurkerintheOpen]

Bad Loss

There will be plenty more where this came from

 

[IlliniMilkMan]

Aaaaaaaannnnnnnnnd basketball season.

You have multiple guys 10 yards off the line. If they score a touchdown who cares. You have to stop the 1 yard. Stupid, stupid alignment. Deserved loss. Two sets of brutal coaching

 

[TheodoreRex]

3 points in the 2nd half by our offense is inexcusable. Also, I'm going to say it- we have worse problems than this, but Houser was WAY too inconsistent today.

 

[WSIOTCSS]

Yikes…

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

I definitely was naive in getting so excited about our defense in the preseason... but that pathetic, predictable playcalling at the end is just mind-boggling
