Game Thread: Illinois vs Virginia

[IlliniReb]

Seriously?

 

[Epsilon]

That’s an inauspicious start…

 

[SuperMetroid]

Not ideal

 

[ILLFAN67]

Let’s start out as crappy as we can!

 

[ILLFAN67]

Interception with a penalty

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

And then held them to a 3 and out.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Not a good start to reaching goal I mentioned in pregame thread — win TO battle and cut number of penalties in half from last week.

 

[illinipioneer]

All we could’ve hoped for right there, now don’t make that mistake again

 

[LFOD]

Good stop

 

[ILLFAN67]

Great job by the defense

 

[Scoregasm]

Awful start

 

[FloridaMan]

Are you supposed to catch a punt inside the 10?

 

[CDRUSN]

Looks like I picked a bad day to stop chugging glasses of 50% Jack, and 50% Mad Dog 20/20. Good that our defense stopped them after the INT.

 

[zentrails]

Awful start

could be worse, that last throw had a wide open guy for a TD, overthrown fortunately

 

[LoveLovie]

Are you supposed to catch a punt inside the 10?

It was a high punt, I’d argue it was a solid move because there were quite a few players around

 

[ILLFAN67]

Interception now a drop

 

[LFOD]

Wow big first down to Williams

 

[FloridaMan]

We are not good in any sense of the word.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

 

[Epsilon]

So it’s gonna be like that huh?

 

[ILLFAN67]

Just wow !

 

[MaineIllini]

For Pete’s sake

 

[LFOD]

2 TOs … gonna be a long day

 

[illinipioneer]

Dear lord, give us a break here

 

[KingWolf11]

I blame the uniforms.
