Game Thread: Illinois vs Southern Illinois

[aaeismacgychel]

Good tackle there.

 

[LFOD]

Alright, let’s mimic the Bears and score a lot.

Only thing I didn’t like from the defense on that possession was how easy SIU was able to pick up the blitz. Just stoned by the Saluki OL. Other than that, good first defensive possession

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Like seeing Trimble getting involved

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Micah Smith starting at RG.

Dez Shuster is who entered the game against Duke (after McMillan got hurt).

 

[LFOD]

Like seeing Trimble getting involved

Houser seems to be working on spreading it around to some other receivers

 

[skyIdub]

Other receivers!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

There we go. Solid no nonsense drive.

 

[eas23]

Pretty clear intention to throw the ball to people other than Dixon on that drive.

 

[fuddrules]

Feagin at FB blocking for Anderson on the TD.

 

[LFOD]

Big Anderson!

Touchdown Joliet Catholuc Hilltopper

But… but…. I thought he hated Illinois and would never be seen ever again in this stadium.

He came to see the scoreboard...

 

[BWBW]

Very nice first drive.

 

[kyillinifan]

Good drive.

 

[LFOD]

I like our kicker

 

[JKR]

Other receivers!!

See if we can find a tight end.

 

[TentakilRex]

saluki helmets are great. where are our script helmets

Will second that

 

[TheGMan]

It's early, but tackling seems better so far

 

[LFOD]

Good tackling, but this QB is good

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Secondary is wrapping up today. Love to see it. Big gains from last week in technique

 

[BWBW]

Tackling seems better today.

 

[BlueFlag]

Tackling looks better today.
