Game Thread: Illinois vs Western Michigan

[Second place is 1st loser]

Luke did not look great running off the field after that hit.

The play at left tackle needs to be better. LA is going to be in a world of hurt if it doesn't improve.

That was a throwaway. Coverage was there and good. They're daring us to beat them with the run, which I think is smart defense

Here at the stadium, guys are open. Luke is processing very slow.

Our run up the middle for a running attack ain't cutting it. No moving the pocket, no pitchouts, no running outside the tackles, no creativity. If we can't run against the teams we have played against so far this year, I hate to see what Ohio State is going to do to us. Valentine is for real.

I like Feagin but he's slow to the hole and he should be punishing people but definitely isn't...

They are trying everything they can to get Feagin going....and he isn't

I don't like that coverage at all on 3rd down

Kind of like a big diesel

Weak Zone.

Davis did his job the DB came off the corner

Bonus prediction for the game: Feagin breaks open for a 25+ yard run

 

[CDRUSN]

Tough running by Hank on the punt return. Keep piling up those all purpose yards.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Let’s get a drive going, tired of Robert Smith slobbering over Western Michigan.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Feagin is worthless back there…

 

[PasadenaIllini]

What on earth was that 3rd down call? Slow developing BS.

 

[CogDog]

That was a terrible play call on third down. How many yards back was Feagin on that handoff?

 

[Battle89]

Why am I hearing about WMU explosiveness…come on guys

 

[Naborman88]

Why not sneak your Qb for 1 yard?

 

[skyIdub]

Ok now it’s past ValenTIME.

 

[D1959]

So far not good upfront again

 

[BWBW]

Uninspiring offense so far.

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

This feels like Duke II

Slow developing play. Hate that call.

 

[CDRUSN]

I would really like to see our tight ends get more involved in the offense this game to give us an extra dimension. We are getting too predictable again on 3rd and short, running a slow starting Feagin into the pile.

 

[Illini4Christ]

Pick 6 coming to a theater near you.

 

[UCantHideYer]

We want to establish the line of scrimmage, sure. But man that was predictable. Even the snap.
