This is a joke right? Are we getting punked?

Our defensive front loses every snap, every drive, every quarter, every game.

It ruins everything, the whole team is helpless under those conditions. What a mistake and what a shame.

Bingo. Our front 7 just doesn’t have B10 caliber players. Very little you can do with that and have any level of success. If you can’t put any pressure on the opponent or win a single battle you’re just flat out going to struggle.

I am trying to find anything to be positive about right now, but the OL actually looks decent on the run blocking so far.

 

[MaineIllini]

Trying to be optimistic. Looking for a better defensive series this time.

Clayton throws a loopy ball. I saw Jeremy and Joey talk about his arm strength but I see lot of sailing throws. Not the frozen ropes

 

[LFOD]

That was a stop right there guys

 

[aaeismacgychel]

There was some pressure

 

[Ryllini]

There we go!

 

[AssemblyHallForever]

Deuce needed to pick that

 

[Illini2010-11]

Nice defensive series, but why did Clarke volleyball spike the ball? That could have been a pick 6.

He did seem to have more zip on his throws 2 weeks ago.

Juice, more catching less batting. At least we got a 3rd down stop. Baby steps.

Could you imagine dialing up a pass play against our defense near midfield with 2 yards to gain. Make them and a erratic QB beat themselves.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Run blocking has been very good thus far today

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Clayton shows good poise in the pocket for a Freshman.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Dixon is going to have a long long long NFL career

 

[CDRUSN]

Great high point catch by Dixon, and good ball placement by Clayton.

 

[LFOD]

Oregon’s yellow gloves look like flags..

Driving me nuts.

 

[Ryllini]

Boy, it looked like he Aiden out in the flat with room. Good news, that's good film study

The ball is sailing on him. Probably amped up. Hopefully he can settle down.

 

[BWBW]

Can we get a quick stop this series, please.

 

[Illinois_2_AZ]

Clayton threw a good ball, but Dixon couldn't pull it in.

 

[SampsonRelpenk]

Could be jitters, but Clayton’s mechanics don’t look great. Winding up like a baseball pitcher.

 

[BWBW]

I wonder if we'll see Boyd and an all run attack today?
