Game Thread: Illinois vs Florida Atlantic

[illinoistradition]

Tip’s blocking has been…bad. As much as Luke could be frustrating the last couple years, that was something he was fantastic with.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Pass to a TE?

 

[jimbo72]

I've been saying, maybe throw to our Tight Ends more. Enough of gimmick plays. WE ARE NOT THAT FAST OF A TEAM!

 

[TheChief4Life]

Luke saw that right away. Good TD.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

That’s exactly what we needed to counter their pressure.

 

[BDMAN]

Lunney's play calling really leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[cardini99]

well uncoventional but we got a td lol

 

[LoveLovie]

I love Peters, but he would’ve went down there

 

[LFOD]

Beautiful!

Also, bench Altmyer.

 

[CDRUSN]

Lunney outsmarted himself again, with a slow developing sweep run outside for loss from deep in our backfield. Fortunately, Luke saved him.

 

[TentakilRex]

Yeah, a lead

 

[BWBW]

Finally, the lead!

 

[TheChief4Life]

We’ve done a bad job of letting teams score or drive with less than two minutes in the half. Hopefully that changes now.

 

[Keisersose]

Nice job Luke!

Way to focus on IW that drive.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Thank goodness Altmyer can run.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Outstanding tuck and run, Luke. I can't wait until we get you an actual O-Line. Hopefully by next year

 

[Ryllini]

I’ll take it. I’d love to see D come out with their hair on fire this first play. Maybe try to get the ball back before the half ends. If it goes as planned, could be great for the attitude of our team

 

[Oskeefan]

Excellent reaction to the blitz

I’m sorry, but that was a good call. We can’t ask for him to use Williams more and then complain when he calls a play that 75% of offenses use. The blocking was terrible on the outside.

 

[john1952]

What do they call that play. Wait 2 seconds and run for your life?

At least it wasn't a TE sweep (though with our TEs I trust them more than the WRs lol)

 

[LJ22]

Tight end play and Altmyer runs ending up in TDs? Who would have thought.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Get more points here!!!!

 

[Navy_illini]

We have talent on both sides of the ball

IW has progressed well since his freshman year. Washington and Bryant are good WRs and we have 2 good TEs our passing game should open up the running game not the other way around. Last year with Chase the running game could but not this year
