Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[TheChief4Life]

Okay, now let’s stop em and get the ball back again.

 

[IllinialuminAZ]

What kind of a play call was that?

 

[Ryllini]

That 3rd and 3 call was so imaginative.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I don't know if FGs are going to cut it with the way the secondary is playing

 

[Keisersose]

Do we have any confidence we can stop them woth this depleted secondary?

 

[illinidarrin]

Ran it on 3rd and 3 and have to settle for another FG. That's not going to cut it.

 

[SuperMetroid]

No more running the ball. Chuck it 60 times. Who cares at this point

 

[LJ22]

That 3rd and 3 call was so imaginative.

Running it straight into the defensive line is The Lunney Special.

 

[CDRUSN]

Stupid low percentage call to run it on third and three. It's like they don't realize our season is riding on this game.

 

[BDMAN]

for the love of Pete Lunney throw the dang ball

 

[Da88]

Gotta get a stop now. Trading scores now gets us nowhere.

Okay, now let’s stop em and get the ball back again.

Sure there’s playing time available … But what about development …

I don’t think these young guys in the secondary have shown much if any improvement outside of Xavier Scott …

Maybe bringing in a DB coach who had no P5 position coaching experience was a bad idea?

 

[LFOD]

I’m checking my calculations again to be sure, but I don’t think scoring 3 points each possession while they score 7 is gonna be enough.

 

[Jimbo]

24 more receiving yards for Williams wins me $24. Life changing money. Come on Lunney, let’s throw the ball.

AMEN

[CoachHooleyHoo]

Wildcat and then run it up the gut.

 

[TheChief4Life]

I’m checking my calculations again to be sure, but I don’t think scoring 3 points each possession while they score 7 is gonna be enough.

As long as we end up with 2 1/3 more possessions than them it’ll be fine!

 

[Retro62]

Lunney…really? Again? You do not have Feagan on third and three…think of another play.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh no... There goes Randolph injured

 

[TheChief4Life]

Another injury. We’re falling apart. Inthink Randolph

 

[Keisersose]

These injuries are unbelievable.

 

[skyIdub]

Not Randolph. Jesus...if god is real, he's 100% from Iowa or Indiana.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

The injury fairy must've bet all it's pixie dust on Northwestern this game. Will we have any players left by the end of this one? Yeesh.
