Game Thread: Illinois vs Northwestern

[Champaign88]

What a stupid play call. That didn’t work in the first half and rarely works for us, period.

 

[eas23]

Every offensive lineman got beat on that play.

 

[blife]

It’s like we don’t have an offensive line.

Because we don't unfortunately

 

[TheodoreRex]

Here comes an incomplete pass to stop the clock and save the Kats a timeout- then a bad punt

 

[IlliniMilkMan]

Need a first down......Can we get just one?

Nope. Can't block a soul.

 

[Da88]

Can't get one 1st down. Pitiful

 

[ILLFAN67]

I don’t like this too much time on the clock.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Why now Feagin?

 

[derrick6]

Pathetic

 

[OskieWowWow]

Why do we play not to lose so much? Infuriating

 

[LFOD]

Barry, we’ve talked about this..

 

[SuperMetroid]

Luke on a keeper to ice this please

 

[dsg]

Why the hell aren't you trying to get another first down?

 

[illinidarrin]

good grief, they will have another shot.

 

[hooraybeer]

touchback -10000

 

[TheodoreRex]

Season on the line with the best quarterback I can recall having and that's what we get this half? That possession?

 

[FloridaMan]

Burned very little time there. At a loss with this offense tonight. Total regression

 

[JKR]

Why?

 

[Illini2010-11]

Well that was ultra conservative...

 

[TrahNeb]

Playing not to lose like always.

 

[CDRUSN]

Could we not at least have tried to get a first down to secure this victory? I swear Henry and Lunney changed game philosophies at the half.

 

[CogDog]

What was that?

 

[roger murdock]

Playing not to lose.

 

[madillini4]

Take the ball outta Luke’s hands. That will lead us to victory…... Why not go for the jugular??? I know stone has been garbage but let your best player make a damn play.

Is Barry Luney trying to lose this game for the Beloved, cause his play calling blows
