Game Thread: Illinois vs USC

[azillini1]

So, our defense has only forced 3 punts in last 2 games? I think that tells us a lot.

Just let them score. At least we’d have some time left for a FG

 

[PopChampaign]

Might as well just let them score at this point. Other than let them run the clock down and then score.

Definitely would be on the table if I was coaching lol

 

[RML]

Let them inside the ten, then start playing d. Playing soft was a mistake. Burned our clock.

Seen this #%% too many times in my 73 years.

Luke's got one more in him if we need it. I believe

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

I'd definitely take a timeout... momentum is real. Forget saving all 3

This is on BB. Time management

 

[GallopingGhost]

Why would you ever punt against our defense. It’s too easy

 

[CentralILLini]

At least we’ll only need a FG to win..

 

[Mr. Roberts]

They’re gonna score, we just gotta respond back on offense

We will have sconds left.

 

[Oracle21]

Just let them score. We can get a FG on our last possession

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

Y’all blaming the Defense, but the offense could have had 14 more points.

 

[PopChampaign]

Disgusting disgusting loss.

whoa... it's not over yet friend

 

[TentakilRex]

Problems of facing a modern offense

 

[LJ22]

It isn't a guaranteed 53 point loss, so...yay?

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Hope we have enough time for a field goal attempt and leave them zero time as we cannot even slow them down.

 

[jamie13197]

Let them score NOW! Olano for the win, seriously. Let them score all defense take a knee.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Ugh so frustrating. A D1 athlete should have known number one priority is protecting the ball in that moment. Completely charged the trajectory compared to if they literally just kick a field goal.

 

[PopChampaign]

I think we can hold them to a field goal

 

[Chillinini]

I'm out. Can't stand this. Gonna watch the US implode in the Ryder Cup.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

This game wont break the season, its breaks a program.

 

[Fighting I 95]

Worst 2 losses of the Bert era. We dont look diciplined or like we have any heart. Gave up last week and blew this game.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Honestly we might need to let them scroe

 

[aaeismacgychel]

I'd definitely take a timeout... momentum is real. Forget saving all 3

Based on the clock, we might need all 3 for a game winning possession

Great game by Luke and Lunney. Would be a shame to lose.

Easy for USC, but not every team is USC.
