Game Thread: Illinois vs Western Kentucky

[TownieMatt]

Going to be tougher to stop the run without Watson. He closes down on runners so well. Need the other LBs to step up here.

Holy crap this D looks good!!

 

[Adnarel]

Shades of Beckman there.

 

[TownieMatt]

These refs have been utterly awful. A sideline infraction!? Did a coach trip someone?

 

[Idkhti37]

Ref has a kid playing in white tonight.

Are these conference USA refs?

Calling my shot...turnover coming here.

 

[Trakis]

yeah I can tell we're gonna miss Tre this half...

 

[BZuppke]

We have great coaches. They forgot more than most of their opponents know. In Lovie/Hardy/ Garrick I trust.

 

[BZuppke]

I'd like to see us get in a rhythm running the ball, score a TD and burn up about 10 minutes of clock.

Sideline interference penalty because coach on the field getting players out. Since Illini already had a warning, penalty was enforced.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Thank god that sideline interference didn't translate into points. I've got no stomach to go back there again. Next it would be Skoal on the field and acronyms that don't spell out a word correctly.

 

[TownieMatt]

These refs... Forward progress? Heard of it?

 

[Idkhti37]

And, we've got a punter!

 

[Ramrod2010]

Happy to be up 20-0, but this hasn't been a masterpiece with all the penalties (on both teams).

yeah that was a really bad spot - he had the first down

 

[Burt Toast]

Once again. Refs provide WKY a huge break with a lousy spot for the Illini.

We've been impress on defense, but this WKU team may be severely overrated.

QB adjusting to a different offense.

 

[DonIllini]

Well up 20-0 when Vegas and most people had us losing. I will take it let's finish them off and get ready for USF if we have to play them Friday

It seems to be a rough transition.

 

[PNWIllini]

First down lets GO

I hold my hand up. I had ZERO confidence that we would be in this game, much less...(not going to say out loud just yet).

 

[Trakis]

really REALLY bad decision on that throw.

 

[Adnarel]

Game is not over yet.
