Game Thread: Illinois vs Kent State

[Dbell1981]

It only gets worse. They better come out a different team the 2nd half is all I got to say.

Setting up for the safety? Sorry, but I'm becoming depressed

special teams is not so special

Just watching, it seems like Illinois is trying to lose. How about that kickoff reception at the 3 yard line??
Teams that want to win don’t do that!!

Teams that are mentally prepared don’t do that

 

[TeamWilliams]

Who are you switching out? Bonner really shouldn't be on the field but Epstein is already playing

More Epstein and Corbin, less Bonner

 

[Spoon House]

Thank God Mays caught that.

 

[JDHalfrack]

To be fair about that kickoff, we all know he shouldn’t have caught that, but if he hasn’t, it would probably bounce up field and Kent state would grab it. Because Illinois.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Maybe they should just try to pound it, use up time, give the o-line some confidence.

Dayna Howard does not need to watch this. I'm sorry for what this has become Dayna. I dream of better times.

 

[IlliniReb]

The guys that are out today/indefinitely suspended are really costing this team

 

[dgcrow]

Penalties, mental blunders. Does not look like a well-coached team.

I'm in a car and can't see the video, but I keep seeing Bush to Smalling incomplete. Any comments on that?

 

[Illini-Rule]

Once again I buy into the preseason hype! You would think I would have learned by now.

Some overthrows, a couple smalling should have caught, and pass interference for days.

The sound you hear is all the 6-win and 5-win predictions being frantically adjusted downward. Probably some of the 4-win and 3-win predictions as well.

 

[Illini-Rule]

Another missed tackle and another open receiver!

 

[PJD86]

this is a one win team, unfortunately. I also bought in at 4 wins.

 

[Deleted member 29907]

Tired of seeing other teams play a quicker tempo offense than our supposed quick tempo offense

 

[Spoon House]

One of these teams looks better than the other.

It's showing on the scoreboard.

EDIT: oh god, they're going to review this probable touchdown

 

[Ol Dirty Gamer]

Might as well give KenSta the TD. They’re going to score anyways.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Isn't Kent State running a new system with a new head coach? They look so much more polished than Illinois.

 

[StateFarmCenter]

I think thats a td

Everything I read about the Illini from reporters and Illini people were amazing.

“Not this year, but watch out”
“We’re gonna surprise some people”
Etc
Etc
Etc


This is the first time I am seeing them this year. What were they doing in practice that they aren’t doing now? This looks like a s*%# show.

 

[GoIllini23]

Tired of seeing other teams look confident and well coached...we look completely unprepared

 

[TeamWilliams]

Got lucky again
