Game Thread: Illinois vs UTSA

[LJ22]

Hey guys maybe cover Franklin.

 

[illiram11]

Robert Wadlow would not have caught that one

 

[IlliniShelt]

Franklin for Heisman?

 

[SuperMetroid]

Could we leave a bigger cushion on #4? WTF

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Is there maybe a happy medium between 10-yard cushions and DPI penalties 20 yards downfield? What are we doing here

 

[DeonThomas]

Defense looking soft. And probably tired.

 

[TheChief4Life]

I really felt we turned a corner last week. I really felt calls would stop going against us always.

So disappointed right now

 

[PNWIllini]

UTSA looks like they practice flopping and getting calls

 

[BTYBILL]

Our DB's are having a horrible night

 

[ChiefGritty]

This is eeeeeeeeasy for UTSA's offense. Just pillowtop comfortable out there.

 

[MustangWally]

No pressure on the QB

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Even when the ball is thrown 7 yards out of bounds Franklin comes up with it.

 

[DeonThomas]

Blitz helped on that 3rd down play

 

[skyIdub]

At least Lovie's D would have punched a ball out by now....

 

[PNWIllini]

They have a backup center too

 

[ILL_INI]

Ok, it looks like they're not going to give him such a cushion.

 

[ChiefGritty]

Part of the reason we're sagging off Franklin is because he effortlessly wins the release anytime we get anywhere near him. Impressive player.

 

[stlillinifan]

Yep, it was uncatchable and a bad call, but we must make some defensive adjustments at halftime. This is just way too easy for UTSA

 

[DeonThomas]

We need a 6:15 drive to close out the half.

 

[LFOD]

Witherspoon > Adams

 

[LFOD]

Can we throw to a TE?

 

[PNWIllini]

Wheres the flag there.
Nice throw

 

[DeonThomas]

Nice D

 

[TheChief4Life]

Can we throw to a TE?

It is odd that we seem incapable of drawing up plays to do that.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Good arm swipe by the utsa corner.... Except that he was early. That's interference
