Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

[jamarvelous31]

If you're going to call it, go both ways.

2 offensive PIs on 2 plays. The first was probably a no call, the 2nd was an obvious pi the receiver put down his arms to block..

If Bret brings Luke out here this drive- it's criminal...

 

[Illini4Chief]

Our secondary, pass defense has got to get better.........That criss cross route left our guy standing, scratching his head. Ugly...

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Unfortunately says a lot about our corner play this year and what's available to put out there.

I agree wholeheartedly. Options are not plentiful.

We’ll see if the $ is there this offseason to get a couple more guys on defense, we need athletes and speed.

6 would have been nice. Stops, pressure, bl I tz,work the defense. Feeling a let up and ruggers ends up in the 2os

 

[FloridaMan]

Why is Luke still playing?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We're beating them so bad, the announcers are talking Halloween costumes. Absolutely love it.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Fans already leaving the game. BB clearly losing the faith of the fanbase at Memorial Stadium.

 

[Old.Edgy]

Running backs are SLOW

 

[thehass]

Why don't we put the second string qb in the game to actually run the offense We may need him to do that in the future.

 

[Illini4Chief]

OK, I get it...time management,,,keep the clock rolling.....BUT, why run the running game when we got nothin

 

[Old.Edgy]

Offensive play calling going soft...

 

[Mistakenj]

This is concerning

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Running backs are SLOW

Laughery and Valentine are both very fast. Feagin has top end speed but has the acceleration of a big rig.

 

[DERV64]

I would've rather put the backups in and let them get some game experience

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Running backs are SLOW

I dont think theyre slow, but their field vision has been brutal, on top of our front 5 not opening many holes.

 

[BrownTown]

I'm not sure Kaedin Feagin gets drafted--even late round-- as a RB.

Glad he came here, don't get me wrong. But it's just clear...

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Announcers sound bored.

 

[FloridaMan]

My God. I think I just saw our line stunt on that rush. I don't recall seeing that this year.

Guitar solo!!!

Some one meme Luke wasting gatorate..

Water boy failure..

 

[CDRUSN]

Clement was a nice pickup in the portal from West Virginia this year. I'm sure the staff is looking for quality players to bolster our defense and O-line for next season. With all the head coaching changes at power schools this year, there should be a lot of good players looking for opportunities eleswhere, and we can offer playing time next season if they have the skills and drive to excel.

 

[Illini4Chief]

Wow...lotta wide open recievers.....whew
