Game Thread: Illinois vs USC

[Illiniguy13]

3 man rush on 3rd down.

Without Jacas! Inexcusable!

ok, it was 2 and +20 and was couldn't get off the field. unreal

Did you see that throw? The other guys get paid too.

Our best chance is sc scores quickly and we can get a clock eating td drive before half. Then come out of locker room with the same and stack scores.

Tackling has been horrible … All. Year. Long.

It truly has i dont get it normally Bret teams are fundamentally sound but this year not so much

 

[BrownTown]

Maiava is throwing hospital balls.

Illinois hasn't targeted thank goodness but these float passes are just short of getting USC receivers killed

I wish part of me didn’t agree with this.

I’d prefer a stop or field goal attempt.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

With all due respect (and I mean this), but do you know what you're talking about about? Not sure if you've coached or played, but do you have ANY clue how tough it is to coach a defense when you're out manned pretty much everywhere? There's no scheme that you can draw up to stop much. The speed difference is extremely obvious and they get your line is getting destroyed. The linebackers are in an impossible spot.

Henry defense is just awful....launch this dude at halftime. We are wasting what talent we have.

It’s not been great …

We have quite a few banged up men. But we can still blitz and play cover 2. Stay in game and win in 4th quarter. Looks like we may give up 500 yards of offense to the Condoms!

 

[Iamgroot]

Come on let's get a stop here

Or just get a 3rd down stop for once

 

[Scoregasm]

It’s not been great …

 

[BWBW]

Rats

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Pretty generous spot there … At least from my view …

 

[illinidarrin]

I was waiting for a 2-man front on that 4th down. It wouldn't have surprised me.

 

[jamie13197]

The broadcast team casually cited crowd noise in Memorial Stadium. “…so loud in here.” You love to hear it.

Heard that also, AWESOME

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We need to get off the field

 

[Naborman88]

How about a blitz?

 

[LFOD]

It’s turnover time

 

[Iamgroot]

There we go

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Someone needs to tell me what the hell that coverage is.

 

[purcy51]

It’s turnover time

Pick six

 

[Curbelo Fanboy]

Or just get a 3rd down stop for once

Thanks for the optimism.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Gabe's been awesome.

 

[ChiTown]

The secondary is just couple of steps behind in speed.
