UConn ran 3 man d-lines similiar to a prevent defense. They do that against Illinois abd our RBs run 7 yards before being touched.
Wish you could make the game.Yeah, I don’t have it through Xfinity, so I’ll be going to a bar to watch it.
CBSSN does not seem to be on my DirecTV., it was dimmed on my Guide. So I was not able to see Purdue nor Miznoz. I don't want to have to buy yet another sports package just to appease CBS.
Get Hulu TV for a week with their free trial. They get CBSSN.
Defense steps up even more next week. Good guys win 49-3. Corbin with 3 TDs and sits again in the 2nd half. Would have had a 4th but he laterals to Kramer for a score.
Side note - I'd like to hear about those 3 big shooters who dropped $50k each on the Illini last week. Love it.
Pretty sure it was the same guy who split his bets over different sportsbooks
Right now it looks like a high of 75, with a 20% chance of rain. Obviously that could change depending where the hurricane goes.Wonder if this hurricane might impact this game? Looks like it is projected to go right up the coast.
Illini OC Rod Smith: Brandon peters really in control. Missed a couple throws in red zone, but I thought he did play well.
Rod Smith: Heart goes out to (Mike Epstein). He does everything right. He does everything you ask to him.
All I keep thinking about is Mikey Dudek, right? If anyone deserves to have success, it's Mike Epstein
Rod Smith: You say it with a heavy heart, it's next man up. They're still going to kick off on Saturday. I think Mike would want those guys to step up.
We have guys in my opinion can be starters on many teams in the Big Ten.
Rod Smith on balance with WRs: It gives me confidence that if we throw it to a certain area, it has a great chance to be caught.
Rod Smith: Peters had a clean pocket for the most part.
Rod Smith: Kendrick Green is physical, nasty, athletic. He's what you want in an offensive lineman. He pulled on one play and molly-whopped the lineman. Watched it on repeat.
Rod Smith: UConn runs a multiple scheme defense. Jump between 3- and 4-man DL. Well-coached. It's a different coordinator than last year, so last year's stats and film don't matter (when UConn had one of worst FBS defenses ever).
Rod Smith on Brandon Peters: "I told you he wasn't an oak tree!"
Rod Smith: We opened things up (in the playbook) Saturday. Not like we were hiding anything.

Thank you! My daughter has Hulu.
Ah... looks like you only get CBSSN with Hulu's Live TV option.
I'm not solid on this stuff. If someone knows how to get it please feel free to let me know.
Thanks anyway.

I have PlayStation Vue. They are picking up the game, so this is an option too. Not sure if they offer a 1-week trial.So to be clear, the only way to watch the game this Saturday is if you have CBSSN in your cable or satellite package - OR do something like the Hulu live tv free week trial?

And I know someone was joking about it in another thread, but would we really be shocked if it was actually James Holzhauer? U of I grad, known for his risk-taking with his gambling in Vegas and on Jeopardy. Just saying....
Both teams have a bye 11/16. I really want this game this weekend. Should know by Thursday, if Cane doesn't turn further east we will not play.
