Game Thread: Illinois vs Florida Atlantic

Ouch, Luke throw the ball away! Quit holding it and getting whacked mafia style! My goodness, kids gonna get himself killed.

Our offense just isn't working maybe instead of playing shotgun spread we should go under center and bring a numbers power run game. We're killing our defense with these turnovers and 3 and outs

If your o-line can’t move bodies against FAU, it’s going to be a long conference season.

 

[BWBW]

We don't tackle well.

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

How about we are just bad

 

[PNWIllini]

Found the game on foxsports.com. And now questions are forming.

Wheres the 5-8 yard line surge we were used to having last year?

 

[jimbo72]

How about we treat and play call for Reggie Love, like Cowboyz do for Troy Pollard! McCray is 1 maybe 2 step slower since knee injury!

We don't tackle well.

We don't ____ well

 

[Coop70]

i will wait until the 1/2 way point in the season to really make my judgement , but clearly we are not real good and have along ways to go to be a 7 win team

without a good running game , we scare no one

I don't know, I'm pretty scared.

 

[TheChief4Life]

This is embarrassingly bad. I mean, absolutely embarrassing. We’re going to have to dig out of a10 point hole against FAU…

 

[Ryllini]

I’ll be at the Indiana game in November. At this rate my wife, myself, and the band might be the only fans there.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

That was the worst quarter of football I've seen under bielema

 

[FloridaMan]

Absolutely embarrassing team. My fall just freed WAAAAY up.

 

[LJ22]

Can't find a good thing to say about this team or it's coaches today.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Touchdown looked good here. Is it different on TV?

 

[PNWIllini]

Good god a mighty

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We have no run game to speak of, not one RB moves the ball with consistency nor is a breakaway threat to take it to house when they get in the open. At least not any that have played thus far. Valentine will get a lot of tick next year as freshmen if not one emerges from that group this year.

We're just letting multiple defenders run past us unimpeded. Hard to run or throw when you are getting less than a second before you're getting pressured

 

[BDMAN]

what is wrong with this team has Brett lost his touch? He seems to have lost this team. Why go for it on 4th down this has been FAU's game since that bone headed decision. Wow just Wow

I'll be at the Wisconsin game, 10/10 drunk

 

[TheChief4Life]

Yeah, unless he’s juggling, the replay they showed here in the stadium looked good.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

This game has been quite a hoot thus far.

 

[New Creation]

 

[IlliniFanHere]

This is beyond embarrassing......That Offensive line is we....Offensive!!

 

[Ramrod2010]

I'll be at the Wisconsin game, 10/10 drunk

Same here, but I'll be going to 11.

 

[Old.Edgy]

Ghosts of the last 2++ decades of awful football is rearing its ugly, ugly head... Have a nice day....
