Not a great way to reward the new season ticket holders and students who showed up. Better look in the mirror at halftime.

Perhaps Bielema will hire Toledo's OC this off-season.

Checking in from section 126. Our defense is baaaaad but these refs are worse.

Bielema has been so good over the years of having teams really well prepared to play including most of the last two years here, but man tonight feels like its being coached by Zook with all the penalties, not having our head in the game, and play calling head scratchers.
Can we fire Barry Lunney at the half?
Why haven't we put a spy on their QB yet?

Scratch that.
Did someone forget to tell illinois there is a game tonight. The defense is atrocious...totally terrible!!!
I mean there's still a half to go but coming out undisciplined and getting pushed around up front by a MAC team isn't what anyone had in mind to start the season.
Gotta get their act together in second half. If not, just another disappointment in a long line of disappointments. Embarrassing
Possibly Henry as well?
That was a smart call. The following defensive plays/penalties were not.
Be thankful you don't have to listen to the TV announcers.
Sure didn’t work out for a smart call

This one would hurt even more because we had so many expectations this year. This would be a horrible loss.

UTSA all over again.
Maybe after that 1st drive they were taken out for ice cream? One can hope...

Bad call on the 3rd and 4th down runs
Lunney called that 4 and 1 play tho and its the reason they have the ball back
Stop the penalties, we’re winning this game. Maybe not by much, but penalties have gifted them all 12 points.
