Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn State

[sully]

OUTSTANDING throw & catch . TD Illini!

Offense came to play tonight. Need the defense to show up.

 

[DonIllini]

That was a close one but hey TD yet and still

Love the play calling. The call to Barker should have worked - throw it where they are not expecting.

Guts drive. That was the point in the script where we were supposed to disentigrate into powder. I know, I’ve watched a lot of these.

Nice bounce back from a bad play. It would be nice to go into halftime only down by one touchdown.

 

[MaineIllini]

Fumble followed by Penn recovery followed by Penn fumble followed by Illinois recovery followed by Barker TD next play.

I thought it was Smalling for the TD?

TD was to Smalling - same quick slant route we've used multiple times for a TD

Whether you like it or not I think we have a quarter back on our hands in MJ

 

[SuperMetroid]

What say we figure out this read option now?

Or even closer this team does not back down!

Who wouldn't like that.

 

[MaineIllini]

Illini probably don’t have depth to stay with these guys for 4 quarters but if we could stop that read option we can play with these guys

Many find fault

Saw a shot of Dudek on the sideline. Did they ever announce what his actual injury was?

My bad. They were talking about how Barker could breath easy and I misunderstood.

Apt analogy. Huge play on special teams but big gain to start the drive.

 

[Deleted member 29907]

did the clock even move on that last drive?

 

[ILL in IA]

Feel like if you look closely, you can see the pieces that will play a huge part on this team being good the next few years.

 

[KrushCow31]

Man we gotta stop them one of these 3rd downs.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Roundtree is good

 

[FiveStar]

Sanders just drags people damn

 

[KrushCow31]

Thanks.

Has anybody said it yet? I haven’t read the entire thread.

I like the all orange.

Big first down - worse case we need to run the clock out
