Game Thread: Illinois vs Florida Atlantic

[cuillini]

Hugh does have a good leg.

 

[BWBW]

We needed that holding call.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Hugh does have a good leg.

last year not so much

I've coached football at a pretty high level in high-school down south. It was intense and more importantly fun. I loved the young men and their commitment to excellence, team, and our 100k town community.
Adjust coaches.
You have 2 really solid Tight Ends. Put them on the field in the spread more in slot! Griffin Moore and Tip Reiman are studs. Pull a New England Patriots formation that helped them to 3 super bowls.
Line up both TE's , 2 Wide receivers, and Luke with 1 running back. See what happens!
Oh by the way, in this formation motion and now you have 7 blockers/ 5 lineman and 2 big TE"s to block for Running Backs. Just my opinion.
Let's go Illini

When does the Luke Altmeyer experiment end?

Horrendous O-line, anemic running game. Tough spot for any QB especially one that is in only his 4th start. And the OC isn't doing him any favors.

Good news: FAU is pretty self-destructive
Bad News: FAU has been dominant despite their self-destructiveness

Hello darkness my old friend.....

 

[Illiniaaron]

Why do we throw these dumb check downs to the RB. Only works if you can actually stretch the field otherwise.... which we cant.

Everybody on FAU’s defense knew that was the play.

Good run blitz by Jacas

 

[Ramrod2010]

Jeez Taz, get a room if you're gonna hold him that much.

 

[john1952]

Could use a turnover or two. We have only forced 2 this season.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Flipped the field, TD here guys.

 

[jimbo72]

Wow we got away with pass interferenc. I'll take it!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Jeez Taz, get a room if you're gonna hold him that much.

Agreed. Very lucky we didn't get a DPI there. I don't blame FAU's WR being pissed off enough to get an unsportsmanlike there

 

[TentakilRex]

Thank goodness the refs of this conference nor the AAC don't call PI

 

[BWBW]

Good run blitz by Jacas

About to ask if there was a Jacas sighting.

 

[illiram]

If I'm being fair, wasn't that a blatant PI that they missed?

 

[Ramrod2010]

Oh Elzy, you can't miss those.

Or that 2nd one...jeez.

 

[TentakilRex]

Near disaster

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

ugh
ugh

ugh

 

[LFOD]

Elzy with two drops

 

[cardini99]

Need some glue on those hands

 

[FloridaMan]

Now our All American receiver can't catch? Jeezus

 

[BDMAN]

Elzy comon dude that is not going to get you playing time!!!!

 

[skyIdub]

Oh look. We're not running and not winning. Imagine that.
