ILLINI football today penalties and injuries not a good combo

Penalties, injuries and poor coaching.

Their coach will win this game and go straight to two HVAC installs.

YEP

Probably won't win another one and end the Lovie nightmare!

 

[Twangers]

Injuries have nothing to do with this. We can stop that narrative right now,

Good night

Spit take

 

[Illini-Rule]

We are just plain bad....... looks like another rebuild coming.

Hobbs hits their RB a yard behind the line then gets dragged four ysds

Yep. Piss poor tackling. Or attempt. He’s not alone

 

[LFOD]

Yeah, I don't see two TD's in this offense. Whew, what a terrible performance this has been so far.

All day long no pressure. Both lines getting beat.

 

[BexleyIllini]

Really feels like the Lovie era is over. I don't think this team is winning 4 BIG games. Hope I'm wrong.

It has become increasingly clear that the sport of football has passed Lovie Smith by. Clean house.

 

[Twangers]

Well, it was a fun thought while it lasted but our path to 6 wins just closed. The fat lady has sung and the band has packed up their stuff.

 

[illini4fan]

Peters is our QB. He will bring us back with a victory today. The coaching is suspect and we've got some dumb players making dumb penalties, but we will eek this one out or the wheels will fall off again.

Cool story bro

 

[SuperMetroid]

Season pretty much on the line right here

 

[WhiteRhino]

I'm done with Illinois football

Wake me up when we're relevant again

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

It’s a bit excessive and melodramatic to say the season just ended but on the other hand ...

I'm afraid you are right.

 

[Deleted member 590820]

So no one is going to cover the QB run??

No outside contain. That’s simple Pee wee football fundamentals. Brutal!

 

[Deleted member 652352]

It’s a shame to know it took us 3 years to get...here.

 

[LFOD]

The good thing is we actually have some talent on this team. Not great talent, but the shelves aren't empty. Somebody should be able to win a few games with this team.

Love's D doesn't work at the college level as I have read. If he should keep his job, he needs a DC with a different scheme. Jim Levitt is available.
