Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[LFOD]

Big test for Henry today, let’s hope he did his homework.

 

[BillyBob1]

Blow to the head. Missed call

 

[Ander1345]

Ummmm going for it on 4th and 7? Take the field goal.

It's really windy and it's early. I don't mind it.

 

[WeWillWhen]

Knapik got abused there.

 

[kyillinifan]

That should have been a tight end pass.

 

[IlliniWatcher]

Ugh. Oh, well - just the first series. They're feeling each other out. Tenn's DL might wanna watch flinging our players to the ground - that'll rack up penalties and tire them out.

 

[KBLEE]

The announcer mentioned it and the replay confirmed that the lineman slapped Luke's helmet. Shouldn't that be a 15 yard penalty?

 

[TheChief4Life]

Jacas who?

 

[FloridaMan]

Look at that D!!!!!

 

[PopChampaign]

TAKE EM' DOWN!!!!

 

[LFOD]

Wow, nice sack

 

[IlliniWatcher]

DL comes up with loss of 8 for TENN. Nice.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Second guessing is always fun, but wouldn't have minded seeing Olano kick a 54yarder

 

[PopChampaign]

Best jerseys we have behind the all-orange. Hope to see these OFTEN next season!

 

[TheChief4Life]

That’s the secondary we’re used to seeing…

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Nothing more automatic than the 3rd and long conversion

 

[RockfordIllini]

Third nd long rears its ugly head again.

 

[Illinisnake]

Rush 5!! Come on man!

 

[FGCUIllini]

Soft Zone on D vs SEC speed is not what we should be dialing up, my $.02.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Secondary is completely overmatched. Talent is so underwhelming.

 

[ChiTown]

3rd down and run defense is atrocious.

 

[PopChampaign]

Hopefully we can adjust and settle in defensively after they score.

 

[Marshall_Lucky]

Well I was hoping we wouldn't get blown out

 

[LFOD]

We’re going to need to score a few points today

 

[Naborman88]

Defense needs to wake up
