Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn State

[TentakilRex]

Forget Paddock, it is time to see if Leary has anything (if he is ready for mop up duty)

 

[RML]

Ok, the game's over, but the season ain't.

Was a sprinter in college. Still pretty darn fast, despite being middle-aged. I can say with 100% certainty no one in this thread, or likely on this board, is beating that dude.

And the student got a 5 yard head start, because he false started, lol

Agreed. Like I said, before, nearly every prediction, had us losing this game. But, I’m still not a fan of how we keep losing games. Looks like we made some adjustments on defense, now it’s time to make some adjustments on offense.

Good news is that we are playing FAU next week and not a real good team.

 

[BWBW]

I would simply rest Luke and give the backup reps. There is something wrong with Luke.

Today:

Illini Offense < Texas Rangers bullpen

Greatest insult I could give.

 

[LFOD]

Paddock will save the day.

Someone else brought up The Freeze in Atlanta. That guy (or at least the one that was doing it in 2017) was a 26-year old guy who had been a member of the grounds crew since 2012 and was a track athlete since his junior year of high school and had run as high as D-II in college.

 

[LFOD]

I do agree with giving Luke a break though.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Yep, that Penn State TD sealed it for me.

Switching over to ISU/EIU fully on my TV. Will keep radio on in the background.

I'm not sold that this is even an average team. We didn't look good against Toledo either and could very easily be 0-3 with consecutive bad losses.

 

[GrayGhost77]

If we get even an average day from Luke we're right in this game. Silver lining.

 

[LFOD]

Good lord. Let’s bring in the next QB please.

 

[spillini]

This is not easy on the eyes

 

[Jimbo]

It’s ok to run the ball at this point.

 

[LoveLovie]

Paddock is not a qb..what was that?

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Bench the QB,don’t think this can get any worse right now.

Still feel that way?

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

Is the 3rd stringer available?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Time to water the tomatoes.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Ok put Altmyer back in . Good gravy

 

[KingWolf11]

Let IW play qb no joke

 

[pvaughn8]

I was expecting a blowout loss that would leave me not caring and enjoying the rest of the weekend. Now I will either be ecstatic or pissed off

Nevermind. Apathy it is!

 

[zentrails]

Wouldn't matter who we put at qb, o-line can't protect him.

Yeah, it does matter if we want to set a record for interceptions, but that's about it in this game.
