Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[The Galloping Ghost]

We're really asking our defense to stop them one more time, huh. Blargh.

 

[illinidarrin]

Well, you can't keep trusting this defense.

 

[DeeAndDWill]

Starting every drive 2nd and 9 after the patented Feagin up the middle for 1 isn’t helping.

 

[Da88]

I hate how this is setting up.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh I don't like this.

 

[eas23]

What the heck was that. Clement was uncovered the entire time.

 

[skyIdub]

All because we can't run for more than 2 yards on first down vs NW front. With a 250lb RB.

I'm almost out of gaf.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Luke had Clement wide open on 2nd down. Whatever that was on 3rd down idk...

 

[ILLFAN67]

3 and out again. Come on offense!! What the ???

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Awful series.

 

[Illini1429]

I'm getting a very bad feeling with the current trajectory of this game, I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Starting every drive 2nd and 9 after the patented Feagin up the middle for 1 isn’t helping.

It was 2nd and 7.

 

[Battle89]

Believes he can stop our offense or that we will stop our offense. Might be right both ways.

Proof of concept delivered. Momentum all NW at this point.

 

[redwingillini11]

Really don’t understand our regressions this year.

 

[CDRUSN]

Can our Defense rally for one more stop? I hope the aggressive play continues and we do not revert to what we do worst, soft coverage prevent defense.

 

[CogDog]

Need a nice clock burning drive here that results in a touchdown.

Haha nvm let’s go defense!

 

[Scoregasm]

He was looking for the home run and ignored the wide open underneath route...he does that a lot.

 

[SuperMetroid]

What was that? Wasn't even close.

Looked like Luke expected him to keep running that route

 

[Mr. Roberts]

We have about 60 yards this half.

 

[AugustWest]

Clement might still be running, cmon Luke

 

[ChiTown]

Looks like we’re doing our best to give this game away.

 

[Champaign88]

Valentine has averaged 6.1 yards per carry and Laughery 5.6, but we go with Feagin (2.6, long run of 4 yards)?

Maybe the other two don’t get anything more on first down but it’s still a head scratcher for me.

 

[blife]

Pray for a turnover

 

[Miles Leonard]

Looked like maybe Clement cut his route short for some reason? I dunno.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Adain and Valentine are avg around 6 yards a carry. They seem to do more effective today and haven't had the ball much.last 2 possessions if at all
