Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[FloridaMan]

Gonna lose 20-14 aren't we?

Someone else said it earlier, but I honestly think the biggest difference between this year‘s defense and last year‘s defense is takeaways. We’ve had so many opportunities that we have not made the big plays.

I feel like we are more passive in general this year defensively. That passive approach is leading to less disruptive plays, including turnovers. Just seems like we are less attack oriented and more read/react.

The D is trying at least. The O and special teams are lost.

 

[Illini-Rule]

I feel like our coaches are out smarting themselves with these stupid moves. Just play fundamental football.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Turnover ratio 1-7 through first ten quarters of conference play

1-8 now

 

[TheChief4Life]

Seriously though, how bad is Nebraska?

13-points-better-than-us bad.

 

[Miles Leonard]

No excuse to look this bad facing a sad sack Nebraska squad in year 3.

 

[Ramrod2010]

That student section knows what's up.

 

[TheChief4Life]

13 points better than us at the moment.

Dammit, can you beat me to it

 

[Birdus]

If this was anyone but Nebraska we would be down by 4-5 scores.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

We’re still in it. Yes, I said it.

I think we get a TD here and win this one.

If you think Nebraska is bad you should see Illinois.

 

[Old.Edgy]

Wind at your back and running the ball

because your receivers can't get open...

 

[SuperSmashBro]

Brett's not going anywhere. To me though, I can see both coordinators going real soon.

They both have to go. This is pathetic.

 

[Captain 14]

Tried to watch something else but there's nothing else on

 

[spillini]

what is this intended to be?

Dumpster fire bad. Which means we are so bad that we are the charred remains of that dumpster 24 hours later.

 

[Illiniam1984]

The clown show has arrived. Friday under the lights!

[Dkayak]

Quite a punt, eh? Shouldn’t it count as a turnover? It’s gonna cost another 7 points.

 

[Illini in Italy]

I’m not sure why I’m staying late watching this feculence.

[Birdus]

Well at least they got positive yardage on first down.

 

[Illiniam1984]

What kind of play call was that?
