Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[TheodoreRex]

0 chance we get a stop on d here- Northwestern will be up 14-7 or 10-7- House money on it

Lol- announcer- a little bit of pressure- first we've really seen all game - ain't that the story of Henry.

If we can’t tackle their 4th string running back who is really a convered tight end, this defense has been officially been pronounced dead.

Just carrying tacklers like Derrick henry

What does Illinois do well? Seriously

Give 10 yards separation to opposing teams wr and put no pressure on opposing teams qb.sadly i think we might be the best at those 2 areas in all of college football ugh I need a strong drink

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

I actually think we apply “bend but don’t break” to run defense too.

Not sure I’ve ever seen that.

5 yards a carry for NU. WTAF is our line doing?

 

[FloridaMan]

While BB is a wonderful program leader, he has failed miserably in surrounding himself with winning coaches. Hopefully he figures it out, because we are paying a lot of money to guys who are completely clueless in what they are doing. Couldn't be any clearer.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

That helps

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

INT!

Absolutely no effort from the defense. Again, multiple Northwestern OL helping the RB get extra yards. 1 Illini in the picture. Terrible

 

[skyIdub]

BB is our guy.

This is where Illinois decides if it's serious about football with all of this Gie$$$$$.

You go drop $2-3M on coordinators.

You might want to go grab a sandwich. Or make some chocolate milk.

OR AN APPLE TURNOVER!!!

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

that saved 7

 

[TentakilRex]

INT!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We got an effing miracle. Terrible throw to a wide open receiver leading to a pick

 

[TheChief4Life]

Bout time!

 

[Champaign88]

Time to punch this in or at least tie the game. Nice to see someone make a play on defense.

 

[Ramrod2010]

How long has it been since we got one of those?

 

[JimILL75]

I believe in miracles

Stone is a bad QB, despite our efforts to make him look otherwise

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

great play by kreutz. Probably best defensive play of the year - do with that what you will
