Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[pvaughn8]

Checking in on my alma mater the Illini at 1am in the Canary Islands, we're winning right?

Big time

My new hill I will die on….. anyone, coaches/coordinators/players that line up in the shotgun with less than
a yard to go should be fired and/or kicked off the team.

I wish I were kidding.

 

[BashCtIllini]

How is a QB sneak a bad call? That was a good one. Blame the guys in front and behind for not helping him get a yard

well they literally put everyone on a pinpoint for that stupid tush push play. Meaning, you walked over into the defensive huddle and said we're going to run right here, in this exact spot. Are you stronger than us?

For the life of me, I have no idea why a goal line package exists. Spread the defense out, run a regular set. A bad play on a regular set you typically get a yard or 2, but so many goalline plays end up with nothing because the defense knows exactly what you're going to do.

Why not put in your 250 lb RB with a FB, spread out the defense, and see if they can figure out where you're going, then get enough guys there to stop it.

Watching this defense this year is reminiscent of watching it during the Lovie era…

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

who even needs first or second downs when you’re playing this defense

 

[BDMAN]

What is wrong with us we cannot cover we cannot tackle?

 

[BWBW]

We can not tackle.

 

[Coop70]

Swiss cheese defense.

 

[TampaToo]

Coaching staff needs a complete rebuild.

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

Henry needs a lot of help. He’s got to start dialing up some blitzes b/c we can’t get pressure on the QB without it.

 

[PassingBy]

Coaching staff needs a complete rebuild.

Yup.

This experiment has not materialized.

Reboot.

Go Illini.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Just so disappointing that we seem to learn nothing from past games, and just keep doing the same things over and over expecting them to work.

 

[FloridaMan]

Well, on a bright note we have not committed a personal foul yet.

 

[BWBW]

And we are losing.

 

[ILLFAN67]

Should be 3-3 at least

 

[TheChief4Life]

Lucky we only gave up 3…. Game not over yet, but we wasted by Lunney’s one good drive already to score 0 points.

[PrideOfGreenSt]

We are Illinois Football again. Welcome back to nothingness

 

[Deep]

4th and 2 inches and you line up in shot gun.
Fire some one now!!!!!

Game ended after that play

As is tradition

Is Leonard even a potential DC candidate or is he a HC next year?

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Should be 3-3 at least

Was just thinking that, so many drives ended by missed forth and short plays out of the shotgun,

 

[Coop70]

I swear it must be in their contract announcers must refer to the stout Illinois defense. Imo the "law firm " has been disbarred.

 

[Butters]

Why are we running out of the shotgun 2 inches from the goal line? I’m seriously asking. Can our QB and center not snap from under center?

I can only assume Lunney is trying to get himself fired at this point...
