Game Thread: Illinois vs Tennessee

[thehass]

The only good thing about the ridiculous Tennessee touchdown is that it gives us a chance to go down and kick a game winning field goal.

 

[LFOD]

I guess it’s fitting that the whole game is in Luke’s hands

 

[SuperMetroid]

What the actual !!!! was that

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Welp... Now need the drive to win it

 

[Homecoming 2019]

No no, the first 5 don't count, only the 6th is a foul

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

are you serious....a near botched return to that?!

It's so easy to get out of your assigned lane when you see that ball hit the ground.

 

[PNWIllini]

Good job idiots. You got your lead with 5 mins left and it’s our ball.

Let’s go win this.

 

[hooraybeer]

buckle up. LA with a chance to go out with a game winning drive

 

[SemperFiIllini]

Yeah well at least they left time for Luke to get a drive. They would have taken 3 to 4 mins otherwise and still scored

 

[IlliniWatcher]

Yep. We have about 5 minutes. Plenty of time for Luke and company to get to FG range for Olano. It would be great to render that run moot.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

NOT IDEAL

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

21 was held big time.

 

[ChiTown]

The saving grace is that there’s still a lot of time left,that’s why I preferred kicking into the end zone.

 

[Illinidrew]

I mean, I trust the offense more at this point. Drive for the FG win.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Should've figured our special teams would rear their ugly heads somewhere today.

 

[Juju]

I hate everything...

 

[RaisedMyBoysIllini]

They don’t call anything today

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Valentine’s fumble against SC was with 6:22 left. Right now Tennessee has 5:19.

Really hope Luke at least gets a chance IF they score a TD.

Would’ve ideally prefer tackling him at the 50 for that reason. But that sucks. Really bad on ST.

 

[superfan]

Ouch. But hear me out…

Not the worst scenario. I’d rather have the wind at our back. But chew the clock and score last. Luke adds to the legend before riding into the sunset.

 

[joeybcrazy13]

Luke need you one more time buddy!!! ILL

 

[BrownTown]

Best thing that could have happened!!! Give us the ball back. I don't trust AH and our Defense!! Offense time!!!

 

[illinifan1987]

I'm not worried. We have plenty of time for our GOAT QB to win it for us!

 

[krushalot2005]

Un-friggin-believable

 

[TheodoreRex]

0 chance there wasn't a block in the back there.. I'd bet my life savings on it.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

The ball was fumbled toward the weak side and there they lost contain because of it. Got greedy.
