OTOH ours didn't either

I also saw alligator arms on at least three occasions
Strange deal. Illini ‘fans’ have a reverse double standard on here.
Key point late, ball to Bowick. His right elbow absolutely pinned to his ribcage as ball arrived. No do call.
Fans on here shrug
Laughery. He’s healthy just wasn’t 100% today. He’s good to go next week.
This makes a massive difference! How many were out today counting X Scott? Plus, when you are up 19pts time is in your favor. You bend but don't break. Don't give up big plays like they did early. We need our core back from the bowl game and that we had to start the season.
Offense line has been average at best
Guy cannot stay healthy. Sure could have used McCray this year.
One of my favorite restaurants!
Our receivers have been outstanding. Usually getting separation, and great hands. That Clement snag of the throw behind him today was A+.
Real good game for Luke and the receivers. Some of the poorest safety play I've seen in a while from everybody they put back there.
Quarterback, wide receivers and special teams are grade A on the season.
Rest of team grade C at best for each group.
If “40 points” was on this screen grab, I hope you would have circled it. Sometimes the game dictates patterns that run counter to what is typical.
We only had 3 incompletions. “At least”?
We keep hiding our bad corners and safeties in a zone that has massive holes. Guys rarely make a break on the ball for fear of getting beat. It’s like dying by 1000 cuts. Watch how many times they are looking at the sideline when the ball is being snapped. It’s hard to watch giving up 3rd and long, then 4th and long time after time. I know Henry is a great guy but his ability as a defensive coordinator is really questionable.

Couple penalties on the special teams.
The offense has been really good this year despite the offensive line and losing Bryant and Franklin. The defense is a bend and no break defense. There is no one on this defense a NFL player, period. You can have a bunch of returnees come back doesn't mean they will get better. I'm not impressed with the Illini 2nd and 3rd stringers. The depth on defense isn't that good. All the blame isn't on Henry alone. Bielema is a defensive guy. I was never impressed by Cox, Patterson and Bailey.
We are hiding a First Team All B10 db on the injury report as well as many others! Get real! It's like our race cars in the shop and we are doing our best with our pave car! Have reasonable expectations. We won by double digits on the road!
