The hell was X doing on that play

Mr. Roberts · 2026-11-06T21:57:06-0600

What in the world was our defensive backfied doing? Then Nebraska says 6 is enough?

illinifan4249 · 2026-11-06T21:57:27-0600

Feels like our secondary is always reacting. They are never attacking the ball or play

TheFlyingIllini1317 · 2026-11-06T21:57:31-0600

Can't happen the one thing you could do to lose momentum. Just awful

RDS · 2026-11-06T21:57:40-0600

We need another tuddy. Don’t get conservative

biglug58 · 2026-11-06T21:57:44-0600

Why did they go for two? Doesn’t make much sense but we’ll take it. Thank you, Matt.

Looked like the DBs were all waiting for someone else to make the play

Illini in Italy · 2026-11-06T21:57:47-0600

X, you’re better than that.

aaeismacgychel · 2026-11-06T21:57:48-0600

Ok, let’s take this back down the field with another long drive

7 minute to drive now. And get that first half defense back in the locker toom.

Mr. Roberts · 2026-11-06T21:58:28-0600

Just get points. Keep executing. Keep the "D" off the field.

BWBW · 2026-11-06T21:58:35-0600

That was one unlucky play for us. SMH

TentakilRex · 2026-11-06T21:58:53-0600

Some analytics guys say you go for a two point conversion when get within 8 after scoring a TD. Those people are wrong.

That seems to be a theme for this D.

Unfortunately, he has not been all year.

Altuve27 · 2026-11-06T22:00:06-0600

I know they have only given up 13 points, but I HATE the game Cooper has called tonight. So damn passive. Easy throw after easy throw.

Also, Xavier Scott is routinely not very good. We need to stop acting like he is.

wncillini · 2026-11-06T22:00:36-0600

Do the bears and illini have the same db coach. Both teams achilis on d is the chuck it up deep ball where we have them triple covered.

Mr. Roberts · 2026-11-06T22:01:16-0600

Why are we snapping with 15 on the play clock?

Fly Illini Fly! · 2026-11-06T22:01:47-0600

Renfro injured.

He's been through so many of these....

Renfro down, who is our back up center with McMillan out?
