Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan State

[JJE]

Might be due for a bad day. Hopefully they sustain the lull without getting down too much.

 

[ILLFAN67]

Not good!

 

[illini80]

I wasn’t feeling great about today already. This is not going according to script.

 

[WeWillWhen]

I hope that passing up on those 3 points on the first drive doesn’t come back to bite

 

[BDMAN]

Luv Chase but he does not cover the ball when he encounters contact, we need to get focused hopefully this is out bug a boo game the odds were stacked against Muck by they came to play

[Mr. Roberts]

It's 9-7 and we have more total yards.

We are getting blown off the ball on both sides.

 

[Mistakenj]

I knew they’d come out inspired because of that stupid Michigan fiasco.

 

[DaCHIEFnasty]

The D needs a pick 6. The are getting beaten by the MS offense. D step it up.

D-line needs a gut check… They’re getting man handeled

 

[Scoregasm]

Just not sharp today. It happens.

 

[DaCHIEFnasty]

Newtttt!!! Just what the doctor ordered

 

[BDMAN]

Have you not seen the passes where thorne has about a day and a half to throw it? When he was rushed it was an int to open the game. Agree to disagree.

D-Line is playing but Thorne is making plays

The Law Firm!!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

There we go. That's the pressure we need.

 

[dbeverly26]

Newton gonna do it himself

 

[Turpin & Tate in 2008!]

There is the defensive response we needed.

 

[FloridaMan]

Wow, we get to the QB and their offense goes backwards. Who woulda thunk it????

 

[Illini1429]

Awesome defensive stand, Let's wake up offense!!!!

 

[IlliniForceOne]

MSU doing a lot of little things right today.

 

[Jimbo]

Ok, if we go into half down 9-7 i feel ok. We need to pick up a few 1st downs to flip the field though.

 

[fatlard]

Should Williams have picked that up? the wind would have taken it in to endzone?

 

[RML]

Punt came down just about where we should have expected. We shouldn't have been surprised.

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

Should Williams have picked that up? the wind would have taken it in to endzone?

Radio made it sound like it was going to bounce back away from the end zone.

Time to go to work, move the ball down the field. Set the tone going into half time.
