Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[HailtotheChief]

That's at least 4 turnovers this year on punts and kick offs.

2 weeks of practice for a lot of guys who clearly need it.

Another 2 weeks of regression for the defense

Coaching change? This is reminiscent of Beckman ball.

Not even close.

They dont deserve a bowl game after this bs. Although it would be a joke to go after our best said they wouldn’t play. I’m still with the old school that if you agree to a scholarship, in return for a free education, you owe it to the school to play every game including bowl games.

2 steps forward, 3 steps back

How have we let NU score 42 pts on us?

It's happened before. They put up 42 points against us in back to back years, 2016 and 2017.

 

[and 69 others]

I wish we played with more of a sense of urgency from a clock management standpoint when we are down 2 scores.

[TheChief4Life]

We just cannot score from the goal line …

[HailtotheChief]

What the hell is Rieman doing looking. Push the damn pile!

 

[CogDog]

That didn’t age well.

Horribly lmao *cries uncontrollably*

 

[TheChief4Life]

Bad pass or should have been caught? By Williams?

 

[PopChampaign]

Just run a slant

 

[bluemountain]

How do we (and everyone else in this situation) not use the "tush push"?

 

[LFOD]

Sweet mother of…

 

[PopChampaign]

Oh my goodness, game time

 

[sacraig]
