Game Thread: Illinois vs Western Kentucky

[breadman]

So far I've seen what I wanted out of the D. Improvement.

To add to this, looks like Lovie is putting more freshman this game in the line of fire, as it were, and willing to live with that decision. Very interesting. Is this coaching staff really that disenchanted with the remaining players of the last
coaching staff?

Very nice!! Holding them on 4th and 4!!

Robert is reporting 17 redshirts burned already. So I guess the answer is yes.

All I wanted tonight was something to get exciting about. *check*

WKU's helmets are ugly.....

Agree - not a big fan of the metallic helmets. Like the flat matte finish our orange have.

 

[Adnarel]

While that should have been a catch, it wasn't the cleanest of throws.

Disappointing drive. We should have run on 3rd and 1 anyway.

 

[Idkhti37]

good lord our qb play is terrrrrrrrible.

 

[IlliniMed]

Run the ball. Establish yourself

 

[westcoastillini]

3rd and 1 and we can't convert. Crouch is not a very accurate passer

 

[IlliniMed]

I'm honestly surprised Jr. hasnt got a chance to play. He wasnt terrible last year all considering

 

[CARPET]

RUN MIKE EPSTIEN- Problem solved

It's going to be a long season if Chayce doesn't improve in his throws

 

[TownieMatt]

This defense is going to be really good once these kids are upper classmen

 

[IlliniMed]

why are we throwing into a 3 man coverage?

 

[westcoastillini]

Does crouch have tunnel vision? Dudek was triple covered

 

[IlliniMed]

Who is # 8 ? He was wide open on that play

 

[westcoastillini]

Yeah... saw that in the replay

+1,000!

Thieman. Might not see a pass all season if we can't improve progressions.

Pump fake on that play to Dudek with the under receiver all alone there and it's an easy 10 yds before he's even touched....

 

[TownieMatt]

Crouch still doesn't look comfortable in the pocket. Probably fair enough given our line, but he isn't going through his reads. He's going to throw a pick if he isn't careful.

 

[DonIllini]

We need a QB in the worst way
