Game Thread: Illinois vs Kent State

[ILL_INI]

Can't we just run the ball? Let the o-line push them around for awhile.

Crowd very grateful to make some noise, courtesy of Smalling.

about time - just get the ball to playmakers

 

[Spoon House]

It's that easy.

Who would have thought?

 

[Ol Dirty Gamer]

Finally!!!

 

[Deleted member 29907]

Freekin A- this is what I thought our offense was - why have we been so cautious?

 

[MadSeason]

That's more what I expected

 

[IlliniReb]

There we go

 

[GoIllini23]

Got the ball out of QB’s hands...players make plays

 

[BWBW]

Mikey! Bonner !

 

[Idkhti37]

There can NO happiness today. Only relief if we pull this out of our colon somehow.

 

[IlliniReb]

Need a 3 and out on D

 

[DonIllini]

Rod Smith finally playing to his talent make it simple for them get it to playmakers

Just like that. Funny what a little energy can do. Keep it up.

 

[IllinifaninIL]

come on D, get another stop.

 

[Spoon House]

We can get a gif thread now!

 

[Ol Dirty Gamer]

Let’s hope that turnover/score gets Barrett a little shook. Pressure to hold a lead in an away game as the underdog can get you sometimes.

 

[Deleted member 29907]

did we start this game with a "let's not show too much of our offense to the B1G yet" and that changed to "Oh S***!, let's just win"

 

[JDHalfrack]

All momentum killed.

 

[Deleted member 29907]

how many times in my life are we going to fall for the QB draw? is it in our DNA?

 

[Ol Dirty Gamer]

Barrett is literally saving these guys

 

[Spoon House]

We're making Barrett look like a Heisman QB.

 

[Spoon House]

Oh, wow, we denied it.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Would be a great time for a stop

 

[JDHalfrack]

All momentum killed.

Nevermind. Nothing to see here.
