Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[illinidarrin]

The offense has to take over for us to win this. Good drive!

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Seeing a lot of extra after the whistle from 13 on Tennessee now

During the beginning of the Citrus Bowl, I remember thinking we didn’t look like we even belonged on that field and started bracing for a blowout. The offense picked us up, and the defense seemed to respond to that.

Let’s hope that happens again, lol…

Luke made up for those false starts BY HIMSELF. I will miss him.

Playing his heart out. We need to get him the win

 

[logjam]

Impressive because we had 3-4 penalties and still moved the sticks...got to tighten that stuff up...

 

[RML]

Ah, I think I may have figured it out. We're doing false starts so Luke has more passing yards available.

 

[LFOD]

Bart and Aaron are behind the wood shed with Bret right now. I expect improvement.

 

[derrick6]

No Feagin yet?

He’s our worse back but would love to see what he can do

1. Crowd feels 50/50
2. Seemed like a terrible challenge live
3. False starts, my god
4. GREAT TD throw

 

[BlueFlag]

Altmyer is on FIRE!

 

[zentrails]

Damn, AltMeyer had 20 yards in j front of him if he catches that!

Glad he didn't take a hit there at least

I think the blue/blue/blue is a bit too much blue, but I do like the helmets

Need the orange script helmets with this combo.

 

[The pop of Champaign]

Luke looks poised as usual. COME ON D

Really?? Ecstatic if that’s true. I only saw one shot, but it looked like Tennessee had a lot more. Might have just been the part of the stadium shown.

Uhhhh maybe I am out of the loop being so hyper focused on the Bears and Illinois Basketball but did I miss something with Brayden?

Is he injured or is this a very bad looming sign that he is considering entering the portal? That was not very fun to read.

Trimble seen on sidelines . If he was leaving he wouldn’t be there

 

[Fighting I 95]

I think the blue/blue/blue is a bit too much blue, but I do like the helmets

White pants would look so clean, imo

 

[derrick6]

Let’s go D! You showed one play that you can do better!

 

[derrick6]

Now that’s a hit! 45!

 

[blife]

Thank the good Lord for Luke. Hopefully the Defense and our O Line wake up.

 

[JJE]

Now get a stop on defense….sorry bad joke

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That was big time helmet to helmet contact. Surprised Tennessee's returner got up

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

Malachi Hood nailed that dude.

 

[derrick6]

Let’s sack him for a gain of 3.

 

[IlliniWatcher]

Aguilar had all day. Step up, DL...

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Would like to get off the field on 3rd down.
