Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[FloridaMan]

Glad BB answered the question re: the discussion with refs! Good on him!

 

[Oracle21]

Actually Bret face guarding is legal in college football

 

[UCantHideYer]

Coach B going to tell it like it is.

 

[BWBW]

Our defense is impressing given who we are missing.

Seems like our offense could have put up more points.

Happy at the half.

 

[pruman91]

DO FG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.........Illini take the lead 10-7.........

 

[TheChief4Life]

Coach B going to tell it like it is.

What did he say? Obviously at the game they didn’t show the interview.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Who would have thought Altmyer would have more yards than Aguilar? Um..a lot of people I'm sure?

 

[tell it like it is]

Coach B going to tell it like it is.

I can get with that.

 

[skyIdub]

This was fun! Gotta fly! K bye!

 

[Curbelo Fanboy]

These announcers are hideous. They actually commented on Luke’s “propensity” to throw picks. He had FIVE all year. I think they watched no film on IlliNOISE as the color guy called us.

 

[DeonThomas]

I may have missed it earlier --- what's the crowd split today?

70/30
80/20

Or worse?

 

[Homecoming 2019]

What did he say? Obviously at the game they didn’t show the interview.

Discussion with the ref stating 3 straight plays of DBs not turning around and running into our WRs in the Endzone

 

[fuddrules]

Thats PI. Never looked back once while holding Hank.

Looking back is irrelevant in college. Hopefully Illinois is taking note on how your DBs should play.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Olano, please return next year

if he leaves , he will be missed

 

[DeonThomas]

This was fun! Gotta fly! K bye!

Come back when you can. Believe we held TN scoreless while you were here.

 

[SummerofGeorge]

A LOT of football left but the Bell’s Amber tasted awfully good for the first half!

 

[Iamgroot]

Let's make it 6-0 in bowl games for the big and lets knock down the all mighty sec to 2-5 in bowl games this year this half.the sec bias is absolutely crazy they been terrible the past couple of seasons and yet all the country hears about it is the sec sos smh what a joke.come on illini lets come out at half and take it to this dirty overated sec joke.ILL

 

[WWWWRocU]

TN's defense sure look like they are throwing our guys around like limp little wet noodles.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

yea , but the Bears were 5-0 when behind in the 4th until Sunday night

i do feel good . but concerned still

 

[TentakilRex]

Not going to lie, I prefer navy helmets....

 

[socalini]

Late to the show andI get to watch a little bit!

Tell me how to feel. Preferably in the form of a haiku

Tenn wrestlers on field,
Olano paranoia,
Good guys lead at half.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

TN's defense sure look like they are throwing our guys around like limp little wet noodles.

agree they are more physical

they are also more penalized

 

[Homecoming 2019]

[zentrails]

All things considered, we are leading and in a good spot. I'll take it.

Also, TOP in our favor is huge.

Yep that last drive was especially huge for TOP
Keeping their offense off the field is clearly a good thing, especially not letting them get a 2 fer

basically that TN dbs have to look back or its DPI and they are missing the calls
