we just are not very good

6 wins is likely going to be our ceiling

Yep. Will be extremely happy with 6, but hard to find 4 more (assuming we get this one, which is not a gimme by any stretch). Really disappointing.

 

[LoveLovie]

That missed xp hurts right now

 

[TheChief4Life]

Wait… wasn’t this the drive that started on the 3? Geez

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That's some awful defense. Just awful. Straight up garbage.

 

[TheChief4Life]

That missed xp hurts right now

Not kicking a 35 yd FG in the first drive hurts.

 

[BWBW]

We don't know how to get out of our own way.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

If we lose this, maybe we should just focus on academics and forget this whole big time athletics thing.

 

[TentakilRex]

I wish you were wrong, but there are so many holes with this team.

The only thing saving this team, large chunks of the Big Ten look bad too.

 

[thehass]

This is worse than going to the dentist.

 

[cardini99]

Need to eat some clock now and not turn it over....just need to get out of this one with a W please

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

We all think we know how this ends. It’s called being an Illinois football fan.

 

[ChiTown]

we just are not very good

It’s going to be tough getting couple of conference wins.

 

[STLIlliniMike]

Hope everybody put their cups on for this last 4 minutes

 

[BDMAN]

we are in real trouble now, if the offense cannot answer this drive, our running game needs to come together and quick!!!

Rice …………… make room & move over

I have assumed the focus on academics is what keeps us in this mess seemingly every year. No?

 

[skyIdub]

I'm curious how bad I pucker up when Luke drops back to pass on this drive.

 

[TheChief4Life]

If it means anything, Purdue looks like trash too. I’m VERRRRY curious how next week’s game turns out. I do wish it were here though.

 

[Ryllini]

Just a brutal game to watch. Have to remember, everything is still in front of us. Let's get out of here and the road to prize starts next weekend

 

[Illini-Rule]

At this point, I'm not sure where are going to come up with 6 wins. I'm not feeling very confident in this game at this point. Also, we don't have the studs or depth to win a game with a bunch of penalties or turnovers.

 

[BWBW]

We need another TD.

 

[CDRUSN]

The inconsistent play and huge lapses on both sides of the ball do not bode well for the Big 10 season. We should win, but this is supposed to be our tuneup game against lesser competition before diving into the race for the West title. Not a nail biter against a lower tier team without their starting quarterback.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Running clock to go 5 total yds won’t be ideal either. We need a first down or two.

 

[BDMAN]

they get 6 yds on a 1st down run and we get 2.....
