Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[tcb13]

Ironic the script helmets look a little like Ole Miss?

 

[IlliniWatcher]

Three point margin again. Keep the foot on the gas, Illinois - the Vols are hungry. However, just saw this graphic before the score...

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

That drive was what I expected to see from Tenn all game.

 

[PNWIllini]

Time for some Bielema Barge

 

[LFOD]

Defense has been above par, however low our par is. We all knew Luke and Co. would have to win us this one!

I sadly agree

 

[FloridaMan]

RBs looking really good tonight!

 

[RML]

And, in the first half, Luke did look better throwing in this direction.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Been impressed with the backs today

 

[IlliniWatcher]

Past midfield...thank you, Valentine

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Luke led Valentine there like a champ

 

[Shief]

Thank you Valentine, needed that shot in the arm

 

[Huggies5]

Aaron Henry, you are fired regardless of the result of this game

I'm not too confident this is going to happen, but it needs to.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

So frustratingly awesome how we’ve played tonight.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Valentine having a really nice day today

Finally healthy. Great to see.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Valentine having a really nice day today

Should leave him in.

 

[CDRUSN]

Henry could maybe benefit from the wisdom of George Costanza.

 

[OskieWowWow]

I don't understand the aversion to bringing pressure on 3rd down. That aggressiveness is what I hope to see in the defense next year, whoever is the DC

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Just get the vibe this can’t be a field goal

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Drive down the field. Spend eight minutes. Get a touchdown. End this thing.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Sigh

Did we not like Beatty up top there?!

 

[Shief]

Refs didn't want to give the TO, wanted to give us a delay of game lol

 

[FloridaMan]

Hope we don't need that timeout. Luke seemed like the playcall was late coming in. Come on guys.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I don't like us using 2 timeouts already. Need to pick this up and get it in the endzone

 

[Illini4Christ]

Luke will find a way.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

What do we call here?
