Game Thread: Illinois vs USC

[IlliniKat91]

It's time for the D to show something better than they have all day. 3 and out or a takeaway, either will do

 

[LJ22]

I'm sad.

 

[ChiTown]

Sometimes you just have to quit while you’re ahead,not trying to be a hero.

 

[Illini2010-11]

Need to protect the ball! USC defense is really soft but looking for forced turnovers. Very bad turnover. Defense needs to step up here, but they looked overmatched.

Buckle up!

 

[Scoregasm]

God hates illini fans...

 

[BWBW]

Well, the D needs to step up.

jump in the lake drunk. Wow

 

[QueenCityIllini]

Let them score the touchdown quick.

Absolutely not. You grow a pair and get a stop! Then we punch them in the mouth and end the game. No free points.

He at least makes work for it.

 

[Jimbo]

Terrible, just terrible.

 

[UCantHideYer]

It’s just a tail, probably fall off anyway.

 

[ILLFAN67]

That might make me sick to my stomach

 

[Old.Edgy]

snatching defeat from the jaws of victory...

 

[FoundersClub]

We are officially into ‘almost feels like point shaving shaving’ territory

 

[TheChief4Life]

Well, the D needs to step up.

It worries me that this game depends on this…

 

[NASchamp]

We are embarrassing. WTF.

[LuckyIllini]

Defense comes up huge this drive.

 

[CDRUSN]

No time to quit here. Defense needs to show up with a vengeance and prove they can get a stop when the game is on the line. Still have faith in these Illini.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

That was peak Illinois.

 

[Chillinini]

This is Illinois football. Always has been.

Good luck

They are in 4 down territory the whole way. We've shown no ability to stop them without a turnover.

 

[Fighting I 95]

This is some Lovie ball. Terrible penalties and turnovers.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

14 points lost because we aren’t doing what we need to do.
