Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[IlliniWatcher]

I'll take it over a big play. We've done a great job on D today.

I'll allow "adequate" but not "great".

 

[illinifan1987]

I've never wanted a 1st down more in my life...

Luke’s timeout will go down as a great call. First down, then on to a touchdown to seal the deal.

 

[BDMAN]

This is ridiculous we are burning TO that probably will cost at rge end of the gane of this remains close

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Here’s my question, what’s wrong with this:

Kick a FG, go up six.

EVEN if they come down and score, Luke should (hopefully) have the ball back to win the game with a FG.

Just don’t stall out here with zero points, PLEASE.

 

[BWBW]

Keep the drive going, guys.

Yep want TD but gotta get at least a FG here

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

We were running up the middle and Tenn was loaded up on the line

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

I remember last year when we blitzed on a Hail Mary attempt. I miss that aggression

 

[thehass]

Gotta score a td here because the vols will use all 4 downs to score

[TheodoreRex]

I'd rush it with the intent of going for it no matter what.

 

[FloridaMan]

Luuuuuuuuke!!!!! LFG!

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

LUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GMAN55]

Have they finally figured out that Feaginis is RB 3 .

[aaeismacgychel]

IN LUKE WE TRUST

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

way to make the timeout worth it. good call.

 

[LFOD]

Luke will find a way.

Good call

 

[PNWIllini]

Altmeyer says not today

 

[illinifan1987]

I've never wanted a 1st down more in my life...

Now I've never wanted a Touchdown more in my life...

 

[TentakilRex]

Luke Altmyer has no more college games so he is going full Vince Young today

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

Great first down play, let's go

 

[TheodoreRex]

Have they finally figured out that Feaginis is RB 3 .

I sure hope.. the experiment of him being RB1 should be over..

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Luke has been masterful tonight. Keep this going
