Game Thread: Illinois vs Kent State

[sacraig]

Good: Jake Hansen, Blake Hayes, Sam Mays

Awful: Everyone else, including Dudek

I am holding out hope that these suspensions were only for a half of the first game and we have some of our best players back for the rest of the game.

Even then, we shouldn't need our best players to beat a team like Kent State by about 4 or 5 touchdowns.

I'm thinking 0 - 11 and he still retains his job

You mean 0-12

Didn't know about the suspensions, but still that was abysmal. Is our O-Line that bad that we can't move the ball like Kent State. Can't blame anyone that left at half.

It just occurred to me that Dan hasn't even been given the opportunity to make a gif thread.

I blame the uniforms

A lot of production? This team averaged 12.8 ppg last year.
The suspensions and injuries especially hurt us since this team is thin as paper.
No excuse for letting these guys control both sides of the football though. To me it’s definitely Barrett making the difference. I’ve been impressed with his decision making and mobility.

I should have stated a lot of their production. Believe me I'm not excusing this abomination

They are an experienced bad team.

It's not our O-Line who missing 2 or 3 tackles per play.

Got word Brad Underwood came into the locker room and destroyed a trash can.
I look for this team to come out a little angry.

Someone needs to put a little passion into the team, they look scared

Still have the rest of the season to go, but i'm already thinking, "bye bye Shammond and Ira"

But...but we have playing time!

Bush can’t throw

 

[GoIllini23]

Start by handling a kickoff correctly....

here comes the pain! (for us, as Illinois fans)

Dude can throw, he just hesitates too damn much. It’s cost him 5 completions and maybe a TD because of it.

 

[MadSeason]

Welp we come out the same way we went in

 

[SuperintendentChalmers]

Well, that's a brand of football idiocy that's new to me: a fair catch from a guy not receiving the ball.

 

[RichardKeenesHair]

What a terrible call on the kickoff

[JDHalfrack]

No reason for him to fall like that...

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

The horror ... the horror ...

 

[Spoon House]

There's my first actual yelling at the TV of the season.

 

[RichardKeenesHair]

Oh geez, I didn’t realize there was a fair catch call. Are you kidding me lol
