Game Thread: Illinois vs Western Kentucky

What is the last thing we need up by 20 points in the 4th quarter?

 

[TownieMatt]

really REALLY bad decision on that throw.

We've thrown so many of those comeback routes on the outside. Crouch forced that one. He's forced some others too.

 

[DonIllini]

Crouch arm is not reliable we going need a QB that can be consistent on throws

Doesn't everyone.

Doesn't everyone.

Sadly we never get those type of QB's lol

 

[Illininer]

It's more that they haven't showed that they can stop our run, so why pass it in that situation?

I expect a 3 passes and a punt now.

I think you could make a good argument that Lunt was that guy. Just wasn't much of a leader and had cement in his shoes.

 

[Illiini]

Drat. I wanted a shutout. WKU seems to have figured out our D.

On the TV:

"Chayce was visibly frustrated after throwing that interception."

This is the hard-hitting reporting on the sidelines we want.

Still think J Leman is the MAN, get rid of Revisine (def spelled wrong)

I wouldn't hate a 7 minute drive here.

 

[Idkhti37]

Bonner bringin' the wood!

 

[FiveStar]

We are doing much better in the trenches tonight

More of a bad throw. Assuming you mean the interception. . Late throw, flat.

What Crouch has is great leadership. He's a gamer. This team will follow him through a brick wall.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

We just burned like 7 minutes. Basically as good as points. Defense needed that rest.

 

[Idkhti37]

Look at post #212 *pats self on the back*

 

[icengineer]

I'm good with this. The D just needs to get them to run some clock.

 

[DonIllini]

Defense is young but I see potential in being great down the line. Gay and Roundtree are going to be beast

 

[Adnarel]

Bad body language from WKU now. I think we're good.

Time to pop the Champaign! So impressed with this young team and these coaches! 1/3 of the way to a bowl!
