Do we not run the football anymore. Luke needs to run some.

 

[doltmanns]

All these picks have been just terrible throws. I don’t even know what else to say really.

I do. Altmyer has a loooong way to go. Not nearly mature enough against good teams. Doesn't value ball protection enough.

 

[LFOD]

We knew there would be growing pains with Luke. This is what those feel like.

Yep, this game is closer to what I expected to see this season.

Exactly. This guy can really develop into a great QB over the next 2 years. Don’t let that go just because he’s struggling agains the #7 team in the country in his 4th start of his life.

Consistently inconsistent.

 

[john1952]

Some pressure on Altmyer, but no excuse for that kind of pisspoor passing.

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

Wow

 

[Illiniaaron]

Altmyer just killing Illinois today

 

[TheodoreRex]

No pressure, no real excuse. Luke just isn't a good passer.

stop it... this is such a bad take. Has he made some awful decisions today? Sure. But he is not an awful passer.

 

[ChiTown]

This ain’t last year QB1

 

[TheChief4Life]

Okay… enough flirting with disaster. Let’s score.

 

[krushalot2005]

Honestly, need a turnover.

 

[Keisersose]

Luke’s trying to do too much. He will learn from this.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Things are a matter of perspective though. Had the defense not had the stops they had thus far, this could be a 28-7 game with Penn State potentially driving to put this one away midway through the 3rd quarter.

[GraingerDanger]

How about this defense though

 

[Ryllini]

Offense off the hook again. Let’s go boys!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

How in the heck are we still in this game?

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

How are we in this game? #4

 

[skyIdub]

This is like a really rich person trying to hand you $1Million...and you just keep saying no thanks.

 

[TentakilRex]

At least I miss the last turnover lol

 

[Illiniam1984]

The defense came to play today.

 

[Illiniaaron]

I would try running it some on this drive

 

[BWBW]

Ok. Nice long drive and a TD. Burn clock.
