Game Thread: Illinois vs UAB

[aaeismacgychel]

Cox has had a much better game since that 1st quarter. Good recovery

 

[Hereforit]

Man, I’d like to offer my services to coach Hauck on the tackling fundamentals. Good heavens.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

the strength of this defense so far is that we can’t stop the run so slowly that there’s not enough time for them come back

 

[Iamgroot]

I've been trying to play hard to get this year, but Katin is forcing me to involuntarily develop a man crush on our starting QB once again, knowing it must end at the close of his only season as an Illini.

Completely agree hes been super impressive so far

 

[Illini4Christ]

Mims is a great receiver.

 

[gary?]

there we go, fellas

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Bailey might accidentally kill someone this year

I don't know if I can handle another year of watching high school level tackling on defense. Maybe I'll only watch our offensive possessions.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Our third down defense looks…. Worse…?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

This just in: 3 man rush still doesn't work.

Yea hes brought the lumber tonight fr reminding me of Danny from the replacements

 

[Orangetool]

Have to keep bringing pressure, lots.

 

[CDRUSN]

Beerman delivers a massive hit to the six pack of their QB.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Tackling and getting anything out of our DL is going to be pretty high on the Bret alert system. Really going to need to figure out a fix in the coming weeks

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Their #2 is a dawg. Think a former 4 star at UGA

 

[Iamgroot]

Those last couple of hits on there qb got him going down quick to avoid the hit

 

[orange100]

Major tackling issues. omg

 

[skyIdub]

This just in: 3 man rush still doesn't work.

And we can't tackle.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

The tackling is getting ... worse.

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

The Illini will need to blitz aLOT this season to slow any team down.

 

[myspace]

Read and react is really lacking. Coach 'em up this week.

 

[Illini4Christ]

Bailey looks like he wants to take someone’s head off.

 

[LFOD]

Yep, no nfl talent at DL or LB this season

 

[TentakilRex]

We might have a Beerman, but this defense makes me want to drink

 

[Rusty]

I try not to over react but this is concerning. The D is a problem, it probably can't stop Duke, let alone any other our top opponents and once the tape is watched to stop Dixon (top CBs) and Clement on the 8 yard dig or out, then what? I know game 1 to game 2 is the most adjustments but you can adjust from being smaller, slower and over powered. Hope I'm wrong.
