Game Thread: Illinois vs USC

[LFOD]

Secondary… whew

 

[NASchamp]

We desperately needed to go into halftime up 21-7 with momentum. Not tied 14-14 with no momentum.

 

[Naborman88]

Get a stop here boys

 

[Epsilon]

Need strong red zone D here

 

[CentralILLini]

Did you watch the replay?

I did. Refs don’t agree with us. That’s life.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

He was on the ground for 4 seconds.

 

[TheodoreRex]

It's first and freaking goal and we have 4 chances to get the ball in, we are running it incredibly well. Just how... how... I'm fuming.

 

[LJ22]

Here come the refs with 3 straight horse calls for the Spoiled Children

This guy has seen some Illinois games.

 

[LFOD]

Jacas time

 

[Ryllini]

A sack would be awesome

 

[CogDog]

Need a turnover here.

 

[Epsilon]

How did that play only burn 6 seconds?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Incredible change of events.

 

[LFOD]

Holding to FG is pretty big for this D

 

[Pikeillinifan]

I guess that is the best case scenario for us.

 

[dsg]

At least we held them to a field goal.

 

[Naborman88]

a ten point swing. So frustrating

 

[BWBW]

This should really fire up our guys. O and D.

 

[jamie13197]

I'm Nauseous

 

[bjp84]

We let them off the hook.

 

[CogDog]

Absolutely need someone not named Aaron Henry to take charge of our defensive strategic adjustments at halftime.

 

[Oracle21]

Game is definitely at IL pace but that fumble was huge by Feagin. 10 point swing

 

[Ryllini]

Flush that fumble. We held them to 3. Come out with an amazing drive to start the 2nd and bury them.

 

[Epsilon]

Just gotta keep the offense on the field in the second half and BURN CLOCK.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Did you see what happened on the goal line? USC had 7 points until that absolute careless play by Feagin. I know the call was close, but ball security was everything there. That's the priority.
