Game Thread: Illinois vs South Carolina

[BWBW]

We should be able to withstand their initial 3rd quarter onslaught and win going away. 38 to 18 sounds about right.

Seeing Beamer lose his mind over every little thing really makes me appreciate Brett even more. Needle that a$$hole and stay calm doing it.

Nice. I'm at The Spot in La Jolla.

The Illini defensive line is playing contain rather than an aggressive rush. Exasperating, but it's working thus far. But great call sending 6 on that final third down. Then icing the kicker. Excellent!

Keep playing tough.

Illini coaches using the sub rule, defensively, just perfectly.

If these 2 game announcers show any more excessive man love for Sellers, the three of them will need to book a room at the Old Log Inn for tonight.

We've clearly been the better team this far. Let's keep it up & break the SEC curse!!

PS: should be 14-3

I can’t believe I’m going to miss the 4th quarter because I have go out to new year’s eve dinner with my stupid wife and kids.

I was just saying the same thing. Wife is going to owe me.

RFK Jr. probably not a fan of the Cheez It Bowl.

I love that we are running the ball well but I'd like us to be a little more aggressive in the passing game

Beamer’s halftime speech:

 

[altgeld88]

We’re winning so far as 10-point dogs. That’s nice.

But those helmets: pure

I have my priorities ordered properly.

 

[kyillinifan]

The halftime guys must not like the Big Ten. Same way in the Al vs Mi game. Not what Mich was doing but what Al wasn’t doing.

It is 14-3.

Can't wait to all the half time adjustments.

Play-action passing could be a big weapon in the second half. I'd love to see a couple of shots down the seams after some play-action.

Biggest key on Offense: have to stay ahead of the chains on offense. Can't go backwards... need positive gains.

On defense: Keep doing what you're doing, bend but don't break... only tighten up on third down a little bit more.

P.S. - quit nudging them late out of bounds... nothing terrible so far on that but really hope they're not gonna throw the flag with those.

 

[abchew2]

They are still on the substitutions lol

 

[TheodoreRex]

DANG, what a ballsy call by Bret, grabbed the ball Illinois!!!

 

[Scoregasm]

That didn't work
