- Can’t give the refs a chance to make the wrong call * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:57:23
Wow. Absolutely huge blown call. Not even.close either. Game changing * - UofIL6 September 27, 2025, 12:55:20
I want to point out to those that want to piss and moan about our D - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:54:12
- there are pluses and minuses to playing this way - snipes824 September 27, 2025, 12:59:32
- Good point * - illini thunder September 27, 2025, 12:55:15

- 100%* - John Coctostan September 27, 2025, 12:54:40
4 key plays in that half, 3 went in our favor. USC fumble, USC downfield penalty, Feagin fumble, and - Orangeillini September 27, 2025, 12:53:46
- stopping them on that 4th down was key too now that I think about it* - Orangeillini September 27, 2025, 12:58:39
- Being up 21-7 would be sweet. I fully expected them to score a TD so 14-10 is ok. - Toonces September 27, 2025, 12:56:51
Well, at least we’re leading at half. Hope the half time adjustments win the second half too - illini thunder September 27, 2025, 12:53:04
- I think we’re going to run all over them in the second half * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:54:32
  - That would be ideal * - illini thunder September 27, 2025, 12:55:35
i'm encouraged and demoralized all at the same time* - snipes824 September 27, 2025, 12:53:01
- LOL, same. - Toonces September 27, 2025, 12:57:53
USC TEs are killing us, Feed5, Beatty now has receiving, rushing, PR, and passing TDs* - biclops September 27, 2025, 12:51:59
We’re winning the game at halftime. Fought. Running it well. I’ll take it* - opossum jenkins September 27, 2025, 12:51:40
- Time for CV5 to be RB1. * - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 12:52:20
  - Faegan is big and fast, but just can’t cut quick enough to find the hole. Unless it opens - illini thunder September 27, 2025, 12:54:49
    - not so sure about "fast"* - Orangeillini September 27, 2025, 13:03:32
Did laughery play?* - LovetheChief September 27, 2025, 12:51:14
- He took a few handoffs and got tackled. So yes? * - OrangeSox September 27, 2025, 12:52:10
- yes* - Orangeillini September 27, 2025, 12:51:51
And fuck these announcers for whitewashing that hose job. Fucking cowards * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:51:09
- Yes* - cpsteine September 27, 2025, 12:53:07
Goddamn what a fucking minute of bullshit* - cpsteine September 27, 2025, 12:50:59
Weird decision not to run another play there* - Carl Spackler September 27, 2025, 12:50:39
- Nah* - cpsteine September 27, 2025, 12:51:13
Could have been worse. Score after half and get up 2 scores* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 12:50:35
Pass rush is getting into the house, why are we playing a shit zone?* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:49:35
- Maiava getting away from it. Man to man those 12 yard gains are TDs. * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:51:40
  - Front side pressure is the fix. I don’t understand the infatuation with blind side. * - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 12:53:05
  - He’s on the run, I’ll take my chances with him trying to squeeze it into tighter windows.* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:52:25
    - When he breaks the pocket vs man to man, the windows won’t be tight. USC will break a route off and - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:56:08
    - And having to take more time to do so.* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:52:52
- Ooo - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:50:34
  - I can see if we had no pass rush, but they are breaking through every time. Henry is negating - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:51:40
This is the Illinois I know and love. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory * - LovetheChief September 27, 2025, 12:48:53

At least we’ll get an apology letter on Monday. * - illini September 27, 2025, 12:48:33
Jesus that’s demoralizing* - Blazer September 27, 2025, 12:48:12

They barely looked at that* - Blazer September 27, 2025, 12:47:07
- I think it was a catch TBH* - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 12:47:48
  - Same.* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:50:36
  - Probably, but needed a closer look than they gave it* - Blazer September 27, 2025, 12:50:31
This was a damn near perfect half if not for that bullshit, this is fucking infuriating* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 12:46:39
Hulk RAGE* - TarheelIllini September 27, 2025, 12:45:19
- I want to break something* - TarheelIllini September 27, 2025, 12:48:05

NWTFITWTF* - opossum jenkins September 27, 2025, 12:44:46
This pass defense, it is not good.* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:44:31
that is shocking* - snipes824 September 27, 2025, 12:44:08
They need to move on from Feagin as the guy they’re in love with * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:43:42
- Yeah, just not very good* - cpsteine September 27, 2025, 12:52:42
Somebody clock a ref over the middle if you get a shot * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:43:39
WTH!?!? Terrible call! Why are the refs trying to eff us at home?* - ibdoc September 27, 2025, 12:43:12
Unbelievable but not at all surprising* - Herman Blume September 27, 2025, 12:43:00
- Yeah not surprising at all. The entire pre-game was about USC.* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:43:40
Announcers already laying the groundwork here.* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:42:53
- Couldn’t have the tv darling going down 21-7 I guess. * - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 12:44:36
  - Yep.* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:44:58
2000 all over again. * - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 12:42:45
That is absurd* - Blazer September 27, 2025, 12:42:42
Unbelievable. Hose job of the highest order * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:42:38
Incorrect call* - TarheelIllini September 27, 2025, 12:42:28
Michigan game 25 years later. * - harb September 27, 2025, 12:42:19
- No shit* - TarheelIllini September 27, 2025, 12:42:45
Pretending Feagin is a RB is a dangerous game* - OrangeSox September 27, 2025, 12:41:59
Are the refs even watching the game?* - Herman Blume September 27, 2025, 12:41:46
C’mon, not even close guys.* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:41:37
- Terrible. * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:41:57
Game changing moment. Wow. Chance to go up 2 and have the ball.* - LovetheChief September 27, 2025, 12:41:35
Can’t be a fumble if you’re down* - TarheelIllini September 27, 2025, 12:41:17
- He didnt* - HeatMizer September 27, 2025, 12:42:08
- Shades of rocky harvey in 2000. Gonna get screwed on this. * - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 12:42:06
- Seemed like even forward progress should have been called before that too* - Illini Guy September 27, 2025, 12:42:06
- One would think* - CWR10 September 27, 2025, 12:41:33
Uhhhh* - CWR10 September 27, 2025, 12:40:48
USC/ Riley still don’t realize they play in the big ten. You’ve gotta play ST/Defense in this league - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:38:47
- 100%* - Blazer September 27, 2025, 12:41:39
we're actually moving people and running the ball. it looks different* - snipes824 September 27, 2025, 12:38:27
- Just said above, USC hasn’t mentally or physically transitioned to the big ten - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:39:59
We have been sooooo good on this drive… but we let them off the hook 2x by going OOB* - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 12:38:02
5 is our best RB * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:36:32
- Bad ass* - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 12:38:18
- Ya think? And a TD here would go a long way toward deciding this game* - opossum jenkins September 27, 2025, 12:37:52
- I think he’s the one opponents fear. Could be in the end zone on any play * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:37:39
- Feed 5!* - ibdoc September 27, 2025, 12:37:25
Stay in bounds dude * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:34:53
potential 14 point swing due to that being a catch* - Orangeillini September 27, 2025, 12:34:37
Hell yeah Beatty. And a dime by Luke. And great protection too. Flowers all around l* - Blazer September 27, 2025, 12:34:31
At full speed I thought incomplete but that's a catch.* - MojoJojo September 27, 2025, 12:34:10
- Yeah in fairness to the refs I thought it wasn’t close to in bounds live * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:36:00
They managed to convince each other it wasn't a catch. Crazy shit - OrangeSox September 27, 2025, 12:33:55
That’s a catch * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:33:48
What a fucking catch* - CoronaTheirAss September 27, 2025, 12:33:36
What. A. Catch. Maybe a better throw.* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:33:31
They better not screw us here. That’s a game changing play* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 12:33:30
oh man beatty that's an incredible catch* - snipes824 September 27, 2025, 12:33:30

That’s a catch. Wow Beatty* - Blazer September 27, 2025, 12:33:17
That’s a catch* - opossum jenkins September 27, 2025, 12:32:59
That’s a catch morherfuckers * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:32:41
Massive implications to this 3rd down. Could be the difference between 21-7 and 14-14 at half* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 12:29:02
Must punt this ball if 4th down* - opossum jenkins September 27, 2025, 12:28:17
- depends on the distance but I'd lean toward going if it's reasonable* - Orangeillini September 27, 2025, 12:30:20
- Eh I dunno. They’re probably scoring a TD either way if we don’t convert here* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 12:29:35
Give me more calil. More more more. * - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 12:28:02

Love the violent run game today.* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:27:15
huge opportunity to score now and at the start of the third quarter* - Orangeillini September 27, 2025, 12:25:22
- Yeah there’s a world where it’s 28-7 before USC touches the ball again * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:26:51
  - No idea what Riley was thinking there. You gotta play for field position - Blazer September 27, 2025, 12:28:50
  - I would love to live in that world* - snipes824 September 27, 2025, 12:27:26
    - It does sound nice doesn’t it * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:28:11

Nice play, Clarke.* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:24:41

What a play by Clarke!* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 12:24:28
eff yeah* - Orangeillini September 27, 2025, 12:24:18
Becoming clear that we can drop as many guys as we want and we still won’t be able to cover them. - OB25 September 27, 2025, 12:19:42
That was weird. He pasted that guy, got up, then got hurt?* - voiceofreason September 27, 2025, 12:18:06
- Left leg is already hurt. It got aggravated from the contact with his teammate* - OrangeSox September 27, 2025, 12:18:56
If nothing else, they will know they played a football game tomorrow * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:17:52
- We really deserved for that ball to pop into our hands. One of the better hits I’ve ever seen - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:19:07
These injuries are really adding up on defense. - OrangeSox September 27, 2025, 12:17:27
Good lord Rosiek* - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:17:07
Oh Madonna * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:16:10
Quite a touch pass there* - Sammich September 27, 2025, 12:16:09
We’re gonna have to score every possession* - Herman Blume September 27, 2025, 12:16:00
Helluva throw there* - Blazer September 27, 2025, 12:15:55
Jesus fucking Christ. We are never going to stop them* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 12:15:54
about as boneheaded of a penalty as you can commit* - Orangeillini September 27, 2025, 12:15:37
Inexcusable to give that up. Wasted a gift * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:15:31
Had to be somebody down field. Thank god* - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 12:15:13
Thank God. JFC. * - Tuscy September 27, 2025, 12:14:32

Ok you HAVE to get off the field on this drive after that break. What a beautiful play design* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 12:14:31
Nifty trick play * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:14:30
They razzled our dazzle, but a penalty!* - Sammich September 27, 2025, 12:14:22
- We never get that downfield call too * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:15:05
whew, bailed out there* - Blazer September 27, 2025, 12:14:16
Miles Scott such a great player. * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:13:40
Lick McCraken with a tough catch there. Great hit * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:13:02
The competence is incredibly reassuring after last week* - RSMBob September 27, 2025, 12:10:19
Not for nothing, but Luke is kinda single-handedly fucking them up* - opossum jenkins September 27, 2025, 12:09:56
There’s a distortion effect around IU where they are legitimately Top 5 talented - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:08:11
Clement looks really good today, BTW. Might be fully healthy now* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 12:07:45
Damn it Barry… you’re not doing a very good job letting me hate you. - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 12:05:40
Kind of a big opportunity here. A stop on this drive puts us 14-7 with halftime closing in and ball - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:05:18
Beatty just gets the shit beaten out of him every game, in every way imaginable* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 12:04:42
- Way more dangerous than the miles Scott hit… or the Johnny newton one in 2023* - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 12:06:20
I didn't know non-QBs got the same protections as QBs when they pass* - Sammich September 27, 2025, 12:04:40
- They do. Seems unjust to me * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:06:51
- Yeah I was confused. “Luke didn’t get hit, he caught the ball” * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:05:55
They play a lot of man and we are beating them early. * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:04:26
OMG….TD. What a call. * - harb September 27, 2025, 12:04:03
What a call* - Blazer September 27, 2025, 12:03:56
Have a day, Lunney * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 12:03:20
Philly special * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:03:19

  - Yeah * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 12:02:46
I’m impressed with the improvements on offense. Our rushes are actually getting those 4 yards you - snipes824 September 27, 2025, 11:53:47
- Seems like we’re just praying to hold for FG’s and get turnovers on defense. Not aggressive* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 11:56:47
  - I think it’s because we don’t have the athletes - snipes824 September 27, 2025, 12:02:09
- So incredibly vanilla on the D side. * - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 11:54:51
Hey, we’re competitive. Showed up ready. That’s the biggest thing I was looking for today* - opossum jenkins September 27, 2025, 11:53:44
Solid first quarter. * - harb September 27, 2025, 11:53:24
That may have been the sexiest play design of the Lunney era. - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 11:52:57
Looked like he hit the center before the snap, but heads up play from luke* - gvibes September 27, 2025, 11:52:02
So far this looks more like the Duke game than the IU game * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 11:51:55
- let’s hope so. decent start* - LeatherneckIllini September 27, 2025, 11:52:55
Not a great pass* - Mrap24 September 27, 2025, 11:50:21
- He’s not been accurate on RPO glance all year * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 11:51:32
9 quarters against P4 competition, 3 punts forced* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 11:49:02
New WiFi MIA. Major fail* - JeffFrank September 27, 2025, 11:44:23

We bit as hard as you can on that screen. Didn’t do that all last year* - opossum jenkins September 27, 2025, 11:42:36
We’ve played 3 really good QBs vs Duke, IU, these guys * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 11:42:34
D looks like they have no idea what’s coming * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 11:41:23
We weren’t ready* - Mrap24 September 27, 2025, 11:40:50
I think we had 6 in the box on 3rd and 2 there* - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 11:39:35
DL getting blown back* - Mrap24 September 27, 2025, 11:39:32
Somebody missed their gap* - Blazer September 27, 2025, 11:39:30
- Double team climb to second level. In the gap but blocked * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 11:40:00
I also like that all these runs and yardage are coming between the tackles* - opossum jenkins September 27, 2025, 11:36:15
The commercial after the kickoff is infuriating * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 11:34:22
Ludicrous commercial timeout placement here. Come on* - OB25 September 27, 2025, 11:34:22
Getting 4 yards on every carry gives us an advantage in this game* - opossum jenkins September 27, 2025, 11:34:19
The ole touchdown, commercial, kick off, commercial* - Mrap24 September 27, 2025, 11:34:19
Nm* - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 11:32:59
Their D is not aligning to the two TE formation. They need to get a 5 man surface vs that - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 11:32:59
Great start* - LeatherneckIllini September 27, 2025, 11:30:11
Great play call. * - harb September 27, 2025, 11:29:13
BLJ earned his check on that drive * - illiniranger September 27, 2025, 11:28:58
- Attitude drive. Bielema wanted a physical game. Hopefully the attitude adjustment sticks* - uofi1998 September 27, 2025, 11:35:12
huge drive for the offense. seems like it could be a high scoring game.* - Orangeillini September 27, 2025, 11:28:50
- Yeah a real exhale moment. We’re living. Now hopefully the defense doesn’t relax * - meanjeans September 27, 2025, 11:30:10
Sweet! Loved going for it on forth down* - TarheelIllini September 27, 2025, 11:28:40
