How many tackles does Bailey have today? Seems like he's close to 20

Oh dear god

 

[CentralILLini]

Shoot

 

[TentakilRex]

Oh no again

 

[Illini1977]

Get all the starters out

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Awful awful awful

 

[dsg]

Hopefully that's just a stinger type thing

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh man... hoping for a minor sprain on that ankle, but that is worrisome

 

[TheodoreRex]

Why on earth are the starters in still??
Last thing we could afford was losing Xavier.
Bret, what the Hell, get him out of the game. This is pure stupidity.

 

[hooraybeer]

there’s the injury you absolutely can’t have at this stage of the game ..

 

[KBLEE]

Trying to walk it off is a good sign

 

[TheGMan]

Aaaaand still keeping the starters in for some reason…

Should we need Hampton later in the year, we will have wished he had these reps here. smh

 

[TentakilRex]

Could be a cramp

 

[logjam]

I think Altmyer should be sitting...

 

[Illinicpa14]

What a way we’ve come - 31-0 and we’d say there’s a lot better we could have played…can’t wait to see these guys peak!

 

[skyIdub]

Think Feagin feeling those Valentine footsteps behind him….

It would be a shame if X or any of our other key starters gets hurt in a game that is already put away. I don't understand not getting our backups some playing time before B10 play kicks off.
