California dreaming

 

[SweetLuh]

I hate this team, just end the season.

 

[Ryllini]

School is in session for this young secondary.

 

[illinidarrin]

we need a ton of players through the transfer portal or next year will be the same.

 

[WeWillWhen]

If adjustments were made at the half, I didn’t see them. Sigh.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

How will next year be different? We are 14th in recruiting again.

School is in session for this young secondary.

It has been for like 11 games at this point.

 

[RockfordIllini]

We go up 6 with a minute left in the first have and promptly give up 14 straight to go back down 8.

Just hope Paddock doesn’t try and force anything and make a mistake.

 

[Da88]

Frustrating as heck. All the momentum of last season is hanging in the balance of this half.

 

[CDRUSN]

Well, we should be able to offer any decent DBs in the portal a good chance to start if they decide to play for the Illini next year. Our backups right now are terrible against a very average QB.

 

[Jimbo]

You know we can go to a bowl with a 5-7 record.

 

[Scoregasm]

The secondary is terrible even with the best defensive linemen in college.....jeez.

 

[Illiniam1984]

This is a big possession. If we can’t get anything this game may be over.

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 …

Lineman.

 

[skyIdub]

Isaiah position switch has to be one of the greatest successes ever.

 

[Jimbo]

Casey Washington, Pflugerville, Tx

Not good when your DC was selected for the job because of the secondary last season.

Heck, Nicholson’s gotten worse.

I don't. I place a lot of blame for this season on Lunney and Henry, not the players.

 

[skyIdub]

Time of possession now. Gotta keep the ball.

 

[Retro62]

Every team knows Lunney’s first down call…and it rarely nets anything…running I mean.

 

[eas23]

Jaheim Clarke was in for Tobe late on that drive. We're literally on our 10th DB.

 

[Keisersose]

What is that play call on 3rd and 3???
