Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

[EyeoftheIllini]

Our Off-Line coach has said a number of times that he only practices pass blocking for about 5 minutes and at the end of practice. That should tell you something.

OC might want to give him a heads up next time he plans to start game with 6 pass plays. Might want to practice pass blocking for 10 minutes a practice on those weeks.

DL getting gassed.

 

[Stevegarbs]

How in the world can collegiate football players not know how to tackle?!

 

[nbc11]

Tony Peterson is as bad or worse than Brandon Peters.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

DL getting gassed.

They've already been on the field for 35 plays (and 19 minutes).

Well at least the bottle of wine I opened isn’t too oaky.

The norm is a minimum of 30 to 45 minutes in a two hour practice.

10 points feels like 35 in this game.

D-line is as bad as the o-line. Driven off the LOS. Backers take horrible angles. They try to hop around blockers as opposed to meeting the block, shedding the block and making the tackle.

 

[Acp70]

They’re just gonna run it for 6 yards every single play all day long, then huh?

Up the middle, up the middle, up the middle or nearly up the middle damned near EVERY PLAY. Duh!

 

[Gbop]

So, at this point we have 12 yds passing and -6 yds rushing. Unwatchable.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

As much as the defense has been on the field, it can turn into 35 pretty quickly with an exhausted D.

There's an "Adventures of Superman" marathon on tv right now; that's where I'm going. Good luck, Illini. I still fly my Illini flags on game days.

Truth of the story is Immortabhebhe made peters looks so much better. All he had to do was throw it up and he would go get it. Without him Peters has no safety blanket.

I knew I shouldn't have done all the yardwork last Saturday...

Oregon State up 7 on PAC 12 network.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Our two best plays — pass interference.

This is very important

We need taller receivers. Like 7- or 8-footers.

Choose who's worse. Art or Peters.

Maybe Brandon Leib can get some PT on the North side of Kirby.

Lmao 180-10 total yards.
