Game Thread: Illinois vs Western Michigan

[TentakilRex]

Guess we are a second half team...

Need much better first halves in at least to weeks, probably for the rest of the season

 

[Rusty]

I think the 1st half playbook was very vanilla because they didn't want to put plays on film for Indiana, it really didn't work. 2nd half, O-Line has worn them down, play calls maybe a little more sophisticated and we see the results.

I’d say the obligatory turnover is next.

 

[logjam]

Seems we adjust well in the 2nd half this year...need to start out better...

 

[TheChief4Life]

People bailing out fast

Nah, it’s still pretty full here.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Time for the backup QB and RB.

 

[BWBW]

Let us score again!

 

[TentakilRex]

Good news, the ACC is a trainwreck so they can play Georgia Tech in the title game lol

Exhibit A and really!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed backups get game experience for later...

Has there been any word on Valentine? Not advocating to play him just wondering if I missed them updating anything.

Per Werner, "doesn't look serious."

Edit: back out there.

Way to make something out of nothing Hank!!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Beatty looked like Isaiah Williams on that screen. Yards out of nothing

 

[Rusty]

This board is a perfect example of the crowd at Memorial stadium. Lackluster (wondering what is going on with the start), medium interest, expect a win..etc. Just look at last weeks Duke in-game thread 71 pages, this week ...25 max?

 

[phats22]

dropsy

 

[BDMAN]

Have to catch that Ashton!!!!

 

[eas23]

53 yard punt fair caught.
