[WWWWRocU]

Well, nobody told me we were hosting our first rank opponent of the season. Should we be scared and afraid?

[skyIdub]

End zone's gonna start charging Collin rent.

 

[LFOD]

Hand off to Laughery..

 

[Boricua Illini]

3 straight runs down the middle for no gain...

Who wants to take that action???

 

[JKR]

We need to have Underwood coaching more often.

 

[BWBW]

Hand off to Laughery..

96 yard TD. Sounds good.

 

[skyIdub]

Ladies and gentlemen.....we have TE.

[aaeismacgychel]

[BWBW]

Rats

 

[TheChief4Life]

Easy to say in hindsight, but I didn’t lIke any of those calls. Followed by an ”eh” punt…

 

[The pop of Champaign]

Kyle Yelton is back!

 

[skyIdub]

Cold take: our defense needs the reps.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Starting inside our own 10 is Lunney’s kryptonite…

 

[IlliniCaboose]

Special teams has certainly been special so far

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

I don't love when we get pinned deep and when we give the ball back, they opponent is still in our territory.

 

[LFOD]

I wouldn’t mind a pick 6

 

[TheChief4Life]

Damn.

 

[LFOD]

That was a nice play all around, unfortunately

This defense is so, so bad. Just bite on EVERYTHING. And no hits to be laid by anybody not named Bailey.
