Game Thread: Illinois vs Virginia

[GallopingGhost]

This ain’t the game to be doing this stuff in. Does the team need new gloves to stop dropping and fumbling?

 

[WeWillWhen]

Two turnovers and a personal foul in the first five minutes.

Very careless and not mentally ready.

 

[SuperMetroid]

2 possessions, 2 turnovers

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.

Could always start sniffing glue.

He looked down live. They won't show the replay of course

C'mon Illini. I am already taking the strongest dose of beta blocker allowed.

 

[ILLFAN67]

We don’t need a break, take care of the ball and don’t create penalties. Pretty basic stuff. Consider its what Bielema preaches, I don’t get it.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Two turnovers and a personal foul in the first five minutes.

Wasn’t the personal foul on Virginia?

 

[BillyBob1]

Going to commercials during a review?

They did show a replay, it's a fumble

I think his arm hit the ground with the ball still in his hand.
Probably not enough to overturn, though

 

[BDMAN]

Brown has to know when to cover the ball with two hands

 

[FloridaMan]

Every year I ask when will we finally have players who have just a small bit of pride and start to turn this program around. Every year I am disappointed in the answer. SOMEBODY please be the guy to make it happen. JHC

 

[Epsilon]

At least our D is showing up.

 

[PassingBy]

6 Plays

2 Turnovers

 

[LFOD]

The defense is awake

 

[GallopingGhost]

The good news is they don’t look that much more mentally prepared

 

[ILLFAN67]

Shut up and go play don’t get a penalty

 

[LFOD]

Nice hit

 

[Coop70]

The lack of focus on the team is really the most challenging aspect of the early season for me.

 

[BDMAN]

good stand by the defense

 

[Illini1429]

Defense is saving us so far!!!!
