Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[Mr. Roberts]

We are the team that is making the mistakes tonight. Usually not a recipe for success.

Meh - Iowa has lots of penalties. Both teams making mistakes.

When it rains it pours the bad play is contagious. I am not sure we can win this game with Art as the QB he is not a passing threat and as such he will not keep the defense honest, and they will stack the box against Chase and dare Art to beat them and I don't think he can

 

[CDRUSN]

Art holds the ball too long, looks only at one receiver each play regardless of coverage, then throws inaccurately. For as many years as he has played, making no progress at all is discouraging.

i feel like the winner of this game will play OSU Dec 3rd

 

[BDMAN]

Iowa is the more physical team tonight and 84 is flat out killing us

 

[superfan]

I am not sure we can win this game with Art as the QB he is not a passing threat

I find Art’s passes very threatening

 

[IlliniForceOne]

We need a defensive score in a bad way.

 

[PNWIllini]

We need a pick 6

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Has Taz Nicholson come back in?

 

[Ramrod2010]

This has Iowa offense sputters out, punts down to the three yard line, and then getting a safety written all over it.

 

[Scoregasm]

The rest of our season will hinge on Devito's health.

 

[illinidarrin]

Field position is becoming an issue now.

 

[illiram11]

here comes a long pat bryant TD....you're welcome

 

[HailtotheChief]

Lunney must really like Sitkowski.

Who is he supposed to put in??

 

[JLL48]

How much gum does that Iowa coach go though each game? Or you think it’s the same piece? Would hate to be the guy on the other end of that mic hearing his chomping the all game.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Remember the first drive when we moved the ball? Good times.

 

[Illiniaaron]

I find Art’s passes very threatening

More emotionally distressing for me

 

[Ramrod2010]

Who is he supposed to put in??

More about the fact that we are passing a lot with a backup QB.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

At minimum we are going to need to move the hall a bit here or we risk giving it back to Iowa at midfield.

 

[BDMAN]

Iowa is slowly but surely flipping the field position and allowing their defense to stifle our offense getting 3 and outs each time and fatiguing our defense that will lead to an eventual score by them. Unless our offense changes the narrative.

 

[Coop70]

We have met the enemy, and they is us.

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Our DL got totally held.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Who is he supposed to put in??

Well since he's been in, almost every play is a pass, so...

 

[pruman91]
