Bret ball for life! Luke Ford! LFG boys (and girls)!!!

Ford was always interesting, even if we didn't see it for some weird reason I never understood.

 

[RedRocksIllini]

Luke Ford!

Can't like this enough. Way to waste him last year.

 

[MaineIllini]

So happy to see Ford get the TD catch

This is the first time in so long that I see an Illinois team come out of halftime with a game plan change...and one that works.

Beautiful drive. And love seeing Williams and Ford getting touches.

 

[Zweebs]

Wisconsin drive right there

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Thats a 14 play drive over 7 minutes which will wear out the Nebby D. We need a three and out now

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

So this is what a real FBS coaching staff looks like.

Things feel different

That drive brought a tear to my eye. Efficient, competent, mistake-free football? Yes, please!

 

[illinoistradition]

What a beautiful drive. No penalties (I think), consistent gains on most plays, unpredictable play calls, and smart decision making. Over 8 minutes. Absolutely fantastic!

One more fumble from Nebby QB would be great

 

[Wokker]

That drive brought a tear to my eye. Efficient, competent, mistake-free football? Yes, please!

I honestly don’t remember ever seeing that in the 20 years I’ve been watching this team. Hyperbole?

we’ve had a lot of weak coaching in my lifetime…

this 2nd half uprising out of the gate is what good coaching gets you. damn it feels good.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Damn Fox, thanks for recognizing Bobby. Also, awesome to see the 97 flag lead the way out of the tunnel.

 

[DReq]

This just feels so much better than Illinois football has in a long time. It is actually fun and relatively pain-free to watch!

Wow, my boy and I tested + for covid yesterday. I tried to unload my 2 great season tickets, so seats wouldn't be empty and team has support.
1. So heart felt sadness for Qb1
2. So proud of our students for showing up. I got 5 footballers from last years St. Teresa team there minus my boy.
3. Sad for fan turnout. We were so excited for this morning, team walk, band, and game and all the boyz attending UofI together.
4. Worried about coaches confidence in Art Qb2.
Go Illini 2nd half.

I’m home sick, too. Tested - for Covid, but still too sick with a virus to go so sympathize with you. I made my husband go with our friends without me. I feel bad for your son and students, too. Hopefully, we’ll have many more opportunities to witness good, winning Illini football. Hope you feel better, and Go Illini.
