Game Thread: Illinois vs Virginia

No, I think they were having a Schlitz in the sauna.

Jacas with his first sack

Defense continues to be incredible on 3rd down. I will never take that for granted.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Lucky missed face mask

This has been an A++ defensive performance through three quarters. OUTSTANDING.

 

[FloridaMan]

Gotta hand it to the D. This team absolutely trucked them last year. They must have lost a ton off the O line.

Run, run and run some more

Gabe Jacas is going to be really good.

And Appalachan St. appears to be giving it to Texas A&M.

The defense is just smothering Virginia.

Still don’t feel safe, but let’s close it out

It's awesome to watch an Illini defense do this against a P5 opponent, but....it's kinda weird that Virginia can't complete a pass.

I don't think I have felt this uneasy going into the fourth quarter with a 21 point lead. It just doesn't feel as good as it should.

With a great QB

Must be from Texas. A standard issue down there

 

[DReq]

28 would feel better....at least some.

 

[DReq]

21 still feels not good.

You don’t win games with missed field goals.

 

[FloridaMan]

My kingdom for a kicker!

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Our kicking is dreadful. What the absolute f...

 

[WeWillWhen]

Kicking game … oof.

 

[Illini-Rule]

Please find a field goal kicker.

Griffin needs more practice inside Memorial stadium. He was fine in Bloomington.
