Dixon doing his best Pat Bryant impression

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Umm that’s not good. Hopefully just precautionary

He’s back.

 

[CDRUSN]

I am not going to get tired of Houser to Dixon this year. Superb execution on that TD play, set up by some angry running by Laughery.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

The Isiah—>Bryant—>Beatty—>Dixon continuum is looking real

…

 

[redwingillini11]

He’s a dude …

It’s wild we had to say goodbye to an all time great Illini QB and Houser may make us not miss him too much.

 

[phats22]

nice stop (3rd down, not 4th )

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Good job by the D on the QB sneak there. Big 4th down

 

[dsg]

Wish we could stop a 4th and 1

 

[Pikeillinifan]

I miss Aaron Henry.

 

[Mistakenj]

This defense ain’t it

 

[Iamgroot]

Man the defense has got to do better in general but especially on 4th down thus far its been a gimme

 

[TheGMan]

Ok it’s been long enough that it’s fair to be concerned about the defense

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

i beg of you. please get off the field.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

My god. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an end around work that well. For about six seconds there wasn’t even an orange helmet on the screen

 

[orange100]

Did Bailey just *punch* that runner to the ground???

 

[Hereforit]

Holy smokes are O coordinators in the BIG licking their chops right now. Come on, fellas.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Darrell Prater’s made an impact.

 

[LFOD]

I miss Aaron Henry.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We're going to have to figure out a creative way to not get destroyed on the line of scrimmage come B10 play, because we look extremely undersized out there

 

[phats22]

nice to see some qb pressure on that 3rd down

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I miss Aaron Henry.

A lot of people will be. Sometimes, as a fan, it's just easiest to blame the coach and not look at the enormous talent, size and speed differential between the opponents offensive personnel versus our defensive personnel.

Houser is a dude …

I am not sure anyone will make me not miss Luke Altymer … That kid was just a flat out winner … Legend …

 

[skyIdub]

So, this defense.
Ohio St. might "Indinia" us on the 26th. Gird your loins.

Edit: 26nd? wtaf im not even drunk

 

[TentakilRex]

Thank goodness Mortenson likes FGs

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

NOW OR NEVER. PLEASE
