Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[illinidarrin]

Reminds me of O'toole here. He can run the ball.

Maybe Lunt getting hurt will wake team up?

 

[Illiniinia]

That was sweet!

If Lunt isn't done for the day, that last play is going to complicate things.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Defense really needs to make a stop here

 

[Oskeefan]

beats dropped passes all day.

 

[basementcheetos]

I do not believe this type of no pass offense is sustainable long term. But maybe we call this game like Kansas state uses their quarterbacks. Kind of like a power back and mainly runs, be conservative and throw short safe passes now and then.

[Illiniaaron]

ok third and ten must stop them

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

We have a very stout defense on downs one and two. Third, not so much.

 

[illinidarrin]

The defense isn't giving us a chance to win.

 

[Second and Chalmers]

It can't be overstated how garbage the team that is doing this to us is.

This is football hell.

How do they keep isolating WR's on Watson? That's an enormous schematic bust.

 

[HuskerIllini]

The defense isn't giving us a chance to win.

Wow, yeah.

 

[JDHalfrack]

They just brought an ambulance into the stadium player entrance with its lights on. Could just be protocol, or it could be for Lunt. Or... It could be for all those ankkes that just got broken in our defense...

 

[Illiniaaron]

you should know some type of screen is likely there. i dont think coach Nickerson is doing much

 

[IceCuban]

Illinois DBs don't even need to be out there, the only thing stopping Purdue is dropped balls or inaccurate throws, not coverage.

 

[Second and Chalmers]

Just terrible from Hardee. NO REASON to hold there.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

So, Purdue is going to convert every one of its third downs and we aren't going to attempt another pass today. I like those odds.

 

[StateFarmCenter]

Vaughn ain't dead yet

Illini Defense:

 

[Illiniwek66]

Could we just ask who doesn't want to play today and let them go home? This is pathetic aside from recent offense.

We're giving up a TD before the half. Spoiler alert.

 

[illinidarrin]

That first series really ticks me off now.

 

[Illiniaaron]

that was pass interference

 

[TownieMatt]

that was pass interference

Seriously. Apparently being draped all over a guy is legal now.
