Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[Deleted member 29907]

is it just me or did the announcers only come prepared to talk about Nebraska?

Defense is playing a lot better than I expected, but they're going to get tired

 

[logjam]

You've got a team on the ropes....you have a RB...or two....that is one block from the house on any given run.

Rod may be a fine OC...but his play calling is terrible.

I think Corbin is dinged up a little.

 

[foby]

They killin Reggie

 

[OskeeWowzer]

Play calling was great to start...

Not sure what the last 10 minutes have been about...

 

[Ryan1224]

All I want to see is some more Corbin running and more throwing to BheBhe

Overall, they are playing much better today. I’ve been pleased with the effort and few penalties. The defense is playing much better

Run the option with Williams, not Peters.

 

[BWBW]

We need a stop.

 

[LFOD]

Blake Hayes is the man

 

[Illwinsagain]

So, punter going for player of the game?

 

[Ol Dirty Gamer]

Bruh, our defense is so terrible. I lose count how many times wide receivers are wide open catching the ball short and getting extra yards. I hate this system so much.

Millen is blabbing and blundering equally for both teams.

 

[3DegreeIllini]

So are we going to make an adjustment over the middle, or?

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Nice hit.

I would say no.....

Our defense is playing inspired, but they are not good enough to stop this offense. The only thing that will work is controlling the game and keeping their offense off the field, but our OC doesn't understand that concept. It would have won the game against EMU....and it can win this game.

 

[3DegreeIllini]

We have to stop something. Can’t rely on good fortune to win this one.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Missed false start

I agree with you. It's more of a depth/overall talent issue than a scheme/effort issue.

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

These announcers really suck.

Is Matt Millen rooting for Nebraska? WTH!!

 

[illinoistradition]

Missed false start

They’ve missed over five false starts

When you run a read option, you have to actually have an option. Game will be lost by bad play calling. The defense is playing hard, but stupid Tampa 2 and coaching will lose this game.

No. I think he's just an idiot.
