Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[Battle89]

Serious question- What area have we improved at this point? Where do you look at our team and see clear growth? Shoot, what individual players can you even name that have gotten better as the season has gone? (Clement, that's all I got). I honestly think we are playing worse football than we did mid season- that's a full on indictment on Bret

Against worse teams

 

[CDRUSN]

All right! Let's drive this in for a TD to end the half.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Thanks NUrds!

 

[Leelnd]

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

It was tipped
Good defensive play.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Roughing the passer.

 

[derrick6]

Finally it bounces our way

 

[BWBW]

Ok. TD on this drive.

 

[Get yourself a new map]

Okay given two absolute gifts from the football gods. What do we do with em?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I'll take a stupid penalty

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Luke's so frickin good.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Luke cares. Luke effing cares

 

[TentakilRex]

Altmyer!

 

[derrick6]

Another break…roughing

 

[skyIdub]

Luke MF'ing Altmyer.

 

[Zweebs]

Nobody should be turning on BB, but yeah he needs to recognize the changes that need to be made. People forget he originally chose a good DC that was poached.

 

[CDRUSN]

Luke faked himself out of his own shoe! Never saw that before.

 

[TheChief4Life]

What are we going to do without him next year…

 

[LFOD]

Good carry by our best runner

 

[Champaign88]

If everyone played with the heart of Luke we’d be 10-2.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Valentine cares. Deagged those guys

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Why call a TO there!?!?!??!? Lol

 

[derrick6]

Good run, Val!

 

[illinidarrin]

Will someone please give Luke some new shoes already.

 

[ChiTown]

It still floors me how bad the DL is vs what everyone expected coming in to the season. Absolutely manhandled every game.

You have to realize that if you want dudes to lineup on Saturday then you have to recruit dudes….most of our guys ain’t dudes and you can only coach them up so much.

 

[skyIdub]

Don't F around with these play calls!! Get this two'fer!
