Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

[Second place is 1st loser]

1)This game isn't over

2)These coaches pour their hearts and souls into their players, their players families, they have to make them all believe after 4 losses in a row.....our fanbase, more than anyone else's, should understand this.

Someone explain to me why Luke doesn't get a Covid year? He threw 8 pass and 20 pass first two seasons. I want Lukey back.

Because he’s played 21,22,23,24,25. Why would he get a 6th season? And none of those years were affected by Covid

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Jacas up to 5.5 sacks (8 last season).

I'm sure rutgers will address lukes running so hopefully we will anticipate that and have a countermove.

The more they address his running the more time he will have to pass and pick them apart.

The announcers are pretty good.

Best all season

Man I love when opposing DBs line up 10yds off our WRs. It's wonderful

 

[FloridaMan]

Barry, too cute this series. We can run on this team. Let's do so.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That playcall was a bit too cutesy

 

[IlliniWatcher]

Well...this is much better. Just now tuning in. Looks like the team showed up for the first half this time! Looks good for a sixth W if they play all of the remaining 30!

 

[BDMAN]

Lunney is driving me crazy with these run calls not sure why our O-line has such difficult time run blocking

 

[FloridaMan]

Is it just me, or have the refs been extremely slow to blow the whistle this season. Man, seems like every game they swallow it. Somebody gonna get hurt.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

WOW! WHAT A THROW AND CATCH!

 

[FloridaMan]

WHAT A CATCH!!!! HOLY COW, HUDSON!

 

[dsg]

[Ramrod2010]

Perfect start to begin the 2nd half.

 

[SuperMetroid]

[LFOD]

[The pop of Champaign]

Keep going!! Blow them out

 

[TheodoreRex]

HELL OF A CATCH- Clements had a terrible week last week. Redeemed himself right there.

 

[Iamgroot]

I love how luke spread the ball around that drive.#Luke for president

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Catch of the year. Unbelievable.

 

[IlliniWatcher]

NBC just put the camera on Luke after that TD. He was bouncing with giddiness!!

 

[FloridaMan]

I am enjoying this game immensely more than the previous two!
