Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[purcy51]

Very shortly, we may ask you to define "route".........

Forward movement to a scoring rout?

 

[DeonThomas]

I think he's special, too. Only 20 more to go.

I complimented Isaiah's "great hands" two pages ago. 19 more.......

Let’s get a six and a half minute answer here.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Okay okay…. Isaiah Williams is amazing.

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

Have yourself a day, Isaiah Williams.

 

[pvaughn8]

Okay okay…. Isaiah Williams is amazing.

Is this his breakout game?

 

[RoundBalcs]

Hey, we should get that Williams guy the ball more often!

 

[MaineIllini]

Nice block by #13 on the big run by #2

 

[TheChief4Life]

These personal fouls are getting ridiculous…

 

[DeonThomas]

If the Illini embarass the Wildcats by 40+ points to close out the regular season --- but there aren't more than 10,000 fans in the stands to see it ---- does it still count as a WIN and still give us a (very slim) shot at a bowl birth?

 

[TheChief4Life]

THREE (?!) punt returns in one game?!

 

[LJ22]

Well this is fun.

And usually that would be sarcasm, but is just actually really a true statement this time.

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

THREE (?!) punt returns in one game?!

And this one is not called back!

 

[Macho Man]

Go for it

I get excited every time he drops back to pass, because I know it is only going to be a good thing for us.

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Don't forget, the over/under was only 44.5.

 

[orange100]

THREE (?!) punt returns in one game?!

Well, there goes our distinction as FAIR CATCH U

 

[UCantHideYer]

The push up thing was fun, but these quick field goals have bested me!

 

[orange100]

Chase Brown trying to downfield open-block TWO wildcats for Peters was just awesome there.

 

[ILL_INI]

Tell me Peters was really just trolling the NW QB doing that right in front of their bench.

 

[DeonThomas]

And we've scored on 7 consecutive possessions............

 

[trtl]

I mean, that was a perfect half of football. I am almost in tears.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

I wish we had this Peters the entire season, but better late than never. 37-7 at the half.
