Previous Message| Correction, #4 was not a walkoff: James McCourt at Rutgers in 2020, still :03 left*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Also, on the 2008 Iowa game, 3rd and 1 with 29 seconds to go, LeShoure loses 5 yards
Posted by Blazer
|
| Was there a shitty one against Texas State or some garbage team like that?*
Posted by OB25
|
| MTSU is what I was thinking of, but not a walkoff*
Posted by OB25
|
| I also guessed MTSU but that was actually them MISSING a FG, so an anti-walkoff*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Hmm I just cheated and went through the schedules, I’m not seeing a 4th*
Posted by OB25
|
| Hint: it was another James McCourt*

Posted by OB25
|
| Ah, interesting
Posted by Blazer
|
| Yep, not a walkoff, :03 left*

|
| I feel like there was a Beckman game against PSU? 2014?*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Yep, #3. The Reilly O’Toole game*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Rutgers in 2006, Zook's first game?*
Posted by illini222
|
| You're thinking 2005 Rutgers, and that was an OT win*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Yuppers*
Posted by illini222
|
| Was 2008 Iowa a walkoff?
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
| MSU 2006*
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
| Yes, Wisconsin 2019 (McCourt) and MSU 06 (Reda). Iowa 09 (Eller) was 45 seconds left, not a walkoff

| Echo all the stuff below. Great culture to win this game with definitely less than best. Get to 6*

| Houser having hand surgery on Oct 12 and playing today is nutso stuff.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| apparently we have Dr. Steven Shin's magic hands to thank*
Posted by assassin
|
| Looked him up after Brett dropped his name. Seems pretty top shelf.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| We should take a beat and appreciate where this team is considering Hauck’s departure*

| Very good recovery.

| Can we go 2-2 in our last 4 games?
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
| It’s just hard to imagine we’d lose 4 straight*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| kcuF you for putting that out into the universe. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| it's not that hard. three of them are ranked teams better than us*

| Please don’t summon the Narrator*

| Man, fuck that. That Bert pulled us out of that nosedive is the best evidence…
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| The last 3 appear brutal
Posted by bjl63
|
| yes with this continued improvement on Defense *

| Beat Nebraska*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| hi Ron! I agree! *
Posted by Poldark "leading into a long history lesson about why I still hate Bruce Weber."
|
| It’s been gross but grinding out 3 straight wins after the PURW decable is a sign of a good culture
Posted by OB25
|
| Definitely. But those Purdue and Duke games also have me what iffing pretty bad too*
Posted by snipes824
|
| true, especially after the houser injury.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Defense is playing very well
Posted by jfinsocal
|
| Cromulent comeback effort from Houser*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Ari Gold reported otherwise*
Posted by Blazer
|
| We’ve seen a lot of seasons with worse starts than 5-3 *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Bret has won at least 5 games every year
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| But now if he loses the next 4 it will be pretty disappointing*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| It will, but after Nebraska the last 3 are a bitch*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Doesn’t change my stance of taking Coach that will 5 every year minimum*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Maryland blitzed in the first half a ton with man behind it and we couldn’t run
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Nightmare scenario: we head to Evanston trying to bowl eligible & NW is playing for a playoff berth*

Posted by Herman Blume
|
| BTW - the NCAA this week gave Jordan Anderson another year of eligibility*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Please do not give them the ball back*
Posted by biclops
|
| From your lips to Jordan’s ears*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Probably will have 15-20 seconds I think*
Posted by OB25
|
| The QB run threat was key to Anderson finding room. They had to hold on the backside *
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Always a challenge to hold the backside when the run(s) are threatening*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Lol*
Posted by meanjeans
|
| I mean Maryland should let us score here*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| They really should. Otherwise, it's a short kick to win at the buzzer*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Well just fall down. *
Posted by illiniranger
|
| I don’t love having the inexperienced qb in the game here*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Maryland D looks tired*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| Some here wants us to blitz in every situation it makes sense
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Against a QB who was 15/17 after his rough start*

| Some here wants us to blitz in every situation it makes sense

| Huge, Anderson*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Huge 1st by Anderson*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Keep running*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| I’d like to show that same formation with a naked boot and houser would pick up the first
Posted by illiniranger
|
| yeah, they have not been honoring that.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| This is the end of game management strategy we’ve won a lot with by BB
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Want the TD. *
Posted by illini
|
| Just win the damn game*
Posted by EffinIllini
|
| Agreed*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Want a first down and a FG*
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
| This is how we’ve beaten countless teams. Bleed them white in the final minutes. Bert special*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Gotta believe they’ll burn their TOs starting with the first play
Posted by illiniranger
|
| There was Boyd*
Posted by EffinIllini
|
| And Anderson got more than 3!*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| That sounds racist*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| What a catch*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Huge when we had to have it*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| run out the clock, score, go home!*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| I suggest scoring first*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| agreed*
Posted by EffinIllini
|
| Go get 6*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Does maryland start using their timeouts?*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| You would think*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Wow, Dixon.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Welcome to the game.
Posted by EffinIllini
|
| Then he makes that catch lol*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Wow, Colin*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Whew great catch Dixon*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Dixon making up for earlier. wow*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Keep running*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Anderson reminds me of Leroy Howard describing his game
Posted by illiniranger
|
| LOL. Pretty much.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Remember that Anderson yards after contact*

| What is that song the Maryland marching band keeps playing*

| Rump Shaker*

| Motownphilly is the one I couldn’t place*

|
| This crispy chicken Crunchwrap has my attention *
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Yes*
Posted by EffinIllini
|
| I just told my Wife,” that’s dumb as hell and I would eat 3 of them.” (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| Right?*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| It’s right there for us. Just need points here*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| You mentioned it below, but these are the spots Luke could make it happen and we’d win *
Posted by illiniranger
|
| 1 just out there watching completions happen in front of him.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| yep. right past the sticks. mine as well bring pressure with that kind of coverage.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| They’ve killed our 2ndary zone coverage*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Oh god, didn’t realize this would be another mega conference game losing streak we’d be breaking*
Posted by OB25
|
| Please do something dumb, Maryland*
Posted by OB25
|
| Just a poor offensive showin against a meh D playing out of their minds*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Always love a 2 yard crossing route on 3rd and 5 *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Wheel route was wide open.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| I give more credit to the DB than blame for the play call there-*
Posted by bjl63
|
| That’s the down and distance Luke runs for a first and we win the game*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Hate short of the sticks plays*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| God dammit*
Posted by OB25
|
| May need to keep running. Can't seem to get much going in the air*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Man just run the ball. They are tiring out. Lean on them*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Catch the ball*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| nice stop there. moar people at the los please.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| MD showing why you don’t want to pull OL in short yardage *
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Heckel missed again*
Posted by bjl63
|
| He should try lifting weights*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Going for the legs would be a good idea until then*
Posted by bjl63
|
| You see the Maryland DB go for Barnett legs, whiff, and it was 64 yds to the house?
Posted by illiniranger
|
| He’s too weak to tackle high*
Posted by bjl63
|
| It’s like we can’t have a good offensive sequence and defensive sequence back to back*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
| Sigh, finally had a chance to flip the field*
Posted by OB25
|
| Perfectly played by Bailey on that one *
Posted by illiniranger
|
| They are giving us a ton of room if we wanted to onside kick*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Great run, but dogshit effort by their WILL and dogshit tackle attempt by their DB *
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Let’s go D*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Awesome. Now put the kickoff in the end zone and make them start at the 25.
Posted by tvillini
|
| That's a big boy run. Doesn't look like a true frosh*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| God damn my guy hit one cut and gawn*
Posted by assassin
|
| What a rocket. Though who was that big Maryland defender who looked like he wqas
Posted by gvibes
|
| That was some nice breakaway speed there. Awesome.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Some serious speed from the big guy*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| I told you motherfuckers he’s our most talented RB*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Yeah, but you also told us Lanning was going to pack Bert's shit last weekend.*
Posted by Illiniphil
|
| Run had it all - hit the hole hard, avoided tackle, ran away from Dbs. Super impressive*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Dan Cortese*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| I think pretty much everyone but our coaches thinks that *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Most talented doesn’t mean knows the playbook or blocking assignments best though
Posted by assassin
|
| He can’t block. I get it. But we’ve got to keep him in the program*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Barnett is legit*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| HUZZAH*
Posted by OB25
|
| Let’s go!!!!!!*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Barnett. Wow.*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| This offensive performance is so so so depressing. 1 q to turn it around*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Hold on now!*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
| Hello!*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Sprout did not win the free tuition. Clearly a rigged election.*
Posted by DT
|
| Did all the students instantly clear out?*
Posted by OB25
|
| A lot of them did. Student section noticeably more scarce.*
Posted by DT
|
| Maryland's front seven is so much more athletic than Illinois*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| They always have “dudes”.
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
| What kind of 3rd down call was that*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Shout out Roger Cooper and this group*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Yup some annoying drives and conversions in the moment
Posted by snipes824
|
| Can we please get a god damn touchback*
Posted by OB25
|
| Nice hold by the D*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Big 3rd down here*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| There we go. Catch the punt now*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Pretty important defensive series upcoming.*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Oh geez that could have bounced for another 10-20 yards*
Posted by OB25
|
| does he not know the rule or get a sticker for downing the ball?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| I’ll give him a slight pass on that one, he turned his head and the ball was immediately on him*
Posted by OB25
|
| Resetich might just be an idiot*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Stop grabbing bouncing punts!*
Posted by snipes824
|
| Resetich really stinks (autofill)*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| WR drops the story of the game. Tough way to lose given all our guys are possession types*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Think he would been short of a 1st down anyway*
Posted by OB25
|
| That’s a devastating 3 and out. We’re in huge trouble now*
Posted by OB25
|
| Catch the ball*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| we love the 2nd and long run.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Absolutely blatant PI*
Posted by DT
|
| They are really good at toeing that line*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Was t that early?*
Posted by gvibes
|
| pressure and we get the ball back. imagine that.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| staahhhhhhhppppp*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Nightmare field position battle today*
Posted by OB25
|
| We miss Cox on that boundary*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| My god*
Posted by OB25
|
| Our first guy almost never makes the tackle*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Heckel w another missed tackle*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Heckel can't tackle, just too weak*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Terrible missed tackle*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Wrap up!!*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Gotta make that tackle*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Ok defense, bring back your 1st half self.
Posted by tvillini
|
| let’s hope we cover the kick better and bring some pressure, especially on 3rd and long.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| welp*
Posted by illinibone
|
| We can’t win if they’re allowed to hold and interfere with our receivers*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| or push in the back 3 seconds after the play is over.*
Posted by illinibone
|
| Did Dixon go out drinkin last night?
Posted by tvillini
|
| Man we’re just not playing winning football*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| They seem pretty handy out there*
Posted by gvibes
|
| can't call them all
Posted by illinibone
|
| Yep. Refs taking this half off, except for false start/offsides calls.
Posted by illinijohn
|
| Dixon was definitely being grabbed on each of those two balls*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| That’s a penalty*
Posted by OB25
|
| Grabbed him out of the break*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| DB was grabbing his shoulder pads on the prior pass too
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Too many passes to Dixon this drive. Our other guys aren't being bracketed*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| correct. clement has been open.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Not 100% sure Clement caught that*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| We are aggressively taking advantage of MD playing all this man. *
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Houser is dealing now*
Posted by OB25
|
| Another great throw. He’s gotta reel that in*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Again, such a weird day for Dixon*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Haha finally a decent 1st down run and right back to our favorite 2nd and 11*
Posted by OB25
|
| Holy shit at that throw*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Buttgers vibes.
Posted by tvillini
|
| What a fucking throw *
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Great throw*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| all started by the terrible kick coverage and then deciding not to pressure on 3rd and 7?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| We desperately need to start recruiting and developing LB’s with speed.*
Posted by OB25
|
| Or paying them*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Don’t think everyone knew the call. Confusion on that edge presnap*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| We had no apex defender over there. First guy in spilled it to… nobody *
Posted by illiniranger
|
| I liked it better when it was halftime*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Very little resistance*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Well there goes all the mo*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| My newfound confidence at halftime has been quickly erased by this drive*
Posted by OB25
|
| Yeah, not much chance of momentum snowballing at this point. At least not for us.*
Posted by DT
|
| why are we not bringing people on 3rd and 7?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Because they have a very mobile QB and want to make him complete passes
Posted by illiniranger
|
| he’s also not good at processing and threw a pick under pressure?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| i know it was halftime but those stands. Woof! *
Posted by illinijohn
|
| Yeah, Washington turned it over. But our pressure flipped this game*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| my thoughts…
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
| I think it won’t be close, either*
Posted by bjl63
|
| It might not be*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| I like where your head’s at*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Maryland has to feel like they let us off the hook that half. We’re winning yards 184-124 btw *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Crown our asses!*
Posted by Sammich
|
| quick snap! glad everyone was set. nice catch and throw.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Woot…nice pass and catch for the TD. *

|
| Ron Zook is that you?*
Posted by Poldark "leading into a long history lesson about why I still hate Bruce Weber."
|
| MD HC first game. Surprise attack. 3 timeouts for IL. Big leg kicker.
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| OTOH, you have them 'down'; don't risk giving them new life. *
Posted by illinijohn
|
| Man coverage in that field position and our formation is coaching malpractice
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Maryland linebacker on slot receiver. That works if your LB

|
| Woot…nice pass and catch for the TD. *
Posted by harb
|
| Barry in his bag again*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Okay, hopefully that breaks the spell and everyone calms down. Mostly me. Me calming down *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| That was a badass throw and catch*
Posted by OB25
|
| Nice adjustment by Trimble*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Probably OPI there but no complaints*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Great catch*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| MD blitzing all game with man coverage. DBs and blitzing LBs running out of steam on this drive
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Thanks, we'll take it. *
Posted by illinijohn
|
| Houser starting to shake off the rust*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| This Maryland defense honestly doesn't look like the doormat they have been*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| They are starting to look tired however. I think that was mentioned below*

| Maryland’s scoring defense ranks #128 out of 138 teams by the way *

|
| They also were checked out. Now playing for next years paycheck*
Posted by bjl63
|
| lol.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Hopefully this commitment to the run starts to break them down in the 2nd half *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Maybe lets not play for a long fg*

|
| hey a clean pocket*
Posted by assassin
|
| Feagin!*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| After the OL actually provided some pass protection!!*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Maika Matelau fucking stinks. I do not want to hear any of these media types ball wash him*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| There just HAS to be a big 1st down pass play there for the taking*
Posted by OB25
|
| Or just keep running up the middle for -1 yards every time*
Posted by OB25
|
| even the completions aren’t in good spots.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| It’s almost like you want him to fail*
Posted by bjl63
|
| it’s almost like i wanted to build on the momentum from last week versus rushing somebody back
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| i'd rather shake the rust in the first half and bust their ass in the second*
Posted by assassin
|
| Lucky to get away with it, if that was indeed the 'Plan.' *
Posted by illinijohn
|
| i think that plan also thought we'd have a tad more success running*
Posted by assassin
|
| let’s hope.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| I could be with you on this but Clayton is still really limited right now.
Posted by OB25
|
| Clayton went 11-18 for 84 yards
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Did you watch last week? Clayton isn’t the answer
Posted by bjl63
|
| Who can know when at least one OL is beaten cleanly every play*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| There we go. With time should pick apart*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| oh no our only good defensive player*
Posted by assassin
|
| he jogged off!*
Posted by assassin
|
| Looked far more promising than I thought*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Of course*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Dammit. Holmes did his knee*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Offensive line has been abysmal*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| I know this is Illinois-Maryland in BTN, so it should be somewhat expected...
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| This is FS1*
Posted by assassin
|
| Well shit, that's even more disappointing
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| what more do we need to see out of houser? he’s been objectively terrible today.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| The o-line blocking? Not dropping a touchdown?*
Posted by assassin
|
| that ball was thrown into double coverage and should’ve been picked. not to mention
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| I would go so far as to say it’s the only way we could have lost this game. And that’s not a knock
Posted by meanjeans
|
| correct. it’s asking way too much of him at this point.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| This still feels like 75% on the OL to me. Hard for me to picture Clayton faring any better*
Posted by OB25
|
| His receivers not dropping balls would help lots
Posted by bjl63
|
| that last ball to dixon was thrown into double coverage and should’ve been picked.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| On a 3rd and long where he was going to be sacked instantly and just took a shot*
Posted by OB25
|
| should’ve gone to the hot then.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Maybe, but Michael Clayton is highly unlikely to handle this pressure any better*
Posted by OB25
|
| i’m just not seeing the upside in continuing to play somebody who was clearly rusty
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Maryland points allowed vs. B1G opponents - 54, 48, 45, 37*
Posted by OB25
|
| Houser will not audible with a loaded box*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| This is pathetic barry*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| After they scored a TD carving us up with QB runs, they completely stopped doing that.
Posted by DT
|
| Look, the offense has put the defense in dogshit position all day.
Posted by tvillini
|
| Pass rush. Holmes and Brown!*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| D much better. Score some fucking points*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Man that’s a killer. And I hate kicking it there, just feels like such a poor risk/reward tradeoff*
Posted by OB25
|
| We've been pretending that Ethan Moczulski is a can't miss kicker all season
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| He’s fine. Not his fault we keep dropping balls*
Posted by bjl63
|
| I haven't recovered from his miss vs. Purdue to start that game*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| He’s now 10-13 I think. Better than most college K*
Posted by bjl63
|
| 2 drops by Dixon on the day and Laughery should have had that one on 2nd too*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| in fairness a good db picks that pass in the endzone.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Man we are dogshit today. Even Dixon with 2 drops*
Posted by snipes824
|
| This game sucks*

| diarrehea cha cha cha *

| Cripes. Way to shit the bed*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Just two bad teams playing football*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| correct.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Yeesh*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| *fart noises**
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| That was just a flat out drop by Dixon*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Ugh*
Posted by EffinIllini
|
| yeah didn't look like it was tipped*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Weird day for him so far. Wonder if the sun was in his eyes?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| He just dropped it!*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| lol Laughery was short by at least a yard but I’ll take it, thanks refs*
Posted by OB25
|
| yep.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Ready for Clayton any time now *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| agreed. should’ve started him and go to houser if he didn’t have it.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| They’re blitzing a ton and I think they’ll run out of gas *
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Took the announcers long enough to notice Houser was out*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| You just can’t waste 1st downs with these plays. They have no chance when they’re loading up*
Posted by OB25
|
| feagin sighting!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| How we can't do more of that with Feagin is perplexing*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| run through a mufucka face*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Feagin with some nice burst and effort*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Down only 7-0 after how bad this started is a huge victory*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Having been on the other side of this feeling innumerable times, i feel like were gonna win*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Now get your heads out of your asses, MD is trying to out dumb us. Take advantage!*
Posted by shua
|
| Hope still vibrates*
Posted by OB25
|
| Ok, offense. Please show up*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| We are lucky their QB is terrible at throwing the ball.
Posted by DT
|
| well, ours hasn’t looked much better!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| He can throw well. Just tends to make very bad decisions.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| there we go. keep forcing him to make bad choices*
Posted by assassin
|
| Wow. I’ll take it*
Posted by snipes824
|
| Both teams deserve to lose *
Posted by illiniranger
|
| Arms! He was playing slot corner there tho*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| What a dumb throw*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| they’re a terrible team. no excuse losing to them.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Top to bottom they may be more talented than us
Posted by bjl63
|
| Getting the shit beaten out of us by a 2-6 team*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| But at least we haven’t turned it over twice in the red zone!*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| usually death for any team.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| #silverlining*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Nit: 2-5
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Appears they replaced Resetich with Heckel, who is afraid of contact. Sigh*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| He at least has arms*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Doesn’t tackle like it*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Don’t need to tackle if you intercept it*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| lol yeah!*
Posted by bjl63
|
| I do like the arms part!*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| I think he got it but also got a very generous spot*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| no shit.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Man, this is pretty thorough domination so far.*
Posted by OB25
|
| The area around the first down could not have had any fewer defenders*
Posted by bjl63
|
| no pressure or awareness by our lbs.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Are my eyes deceiving me or is Mac Resetich benched?*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Washington tried to make the hard throw there. Keep forcing him to make bad choices*
Posted by assassin
|
| Had a guy wide open in the flat for a 1st down.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Just a real blah start in every facet today*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| We look uninterested and unprepared *
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| correct.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| That’s putting it kindly*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| I'm trying to be more kind lol*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| #11 is a problem*
Posted by assassin
|
| Another dynamite performance by Miller’s unit*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| They’re going to make us throw the ball. Running up the middle not gonna work against a stacked box*
Posted by OB25
|
| Wrecking pass blocking too. Horrible ol play*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Maybe block?!?*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Ol getting blown up by worst run d in the league. Cool*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| OL just not blocking anyone
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Our OL is letting everyone down*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| Damn that’s a TD if he leads him. Great catch though*
Posted by OB25
|
| correct.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Helluva catch by Dixon there*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| That’s a helluva catch*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Huge turd of a start*
Posted by AintHatin
|
| UMD is selling out on the run.
Posted by tvillini
|
| Yep. Look totally unprepared so far*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| 4 passes to 3 runs is a choice*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Yup…*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Just run the ball*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
| We’ve been wondering why all year why our opponents don’t just commit to running every time*
Posted by OB25
|
| D still sucks*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Putrid*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| This qb is gonna be a problem. He’s quick and we don’t have the speed*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| I mean did we scout them at all? We seem surprised when he runs*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| He hasn’t run much compared to the past. But still a threat*
Posted by bjl63
|
| In fairness, our front 7 is as bad as it gets.*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Fair point*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| And the LB have cement shoes *
Posted by bjl63
|
| he's way more athletic than our front 7. will not be easy for us to deal with*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| We don’t need the camera zoomed out to the view from the moon at the snap, guys*
Posted by OB25
|
| gonna give up a lot of yards. have to hold them to field goals*
Posted by assassin
|
| Welp*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| we're far too slow to deal with this dude*
Posted by assassin
|
| Just run the ball Barry*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Small sample size but 2 of his 4 throws have been wildly off target*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Amazing that students won’t even show up for a chance at free tuition.
Posted by OB25
|
| Has all the hallmarks of a close, shitty game*
Posted by snipes824
|
| Why do you grab a punt that was bouncing away from you? Likely would have just gone out of bounds
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Nevermind*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Mac Resetich is your answer*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Agreed, stupid. ST guys just can’t resist the chance to actually touch the ball.*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Have to catch that*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Early on nothing but ineptitude from all*
Posted by bjl63
|
| why did we feel the need to rush houser back against this team?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| It was a 2 point spread. Not like this was a game we were supposed to walk through.*
Posted by OB25
|
| i’m just not sure a compromised version of him throwing the ball so much
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| They likely prepared for Clayton all week, so I don’t mind the surprise start
Posted by Blazer
|
| And as I said, if we have any bowl dreams this game is the most important to date*
Posted by bjl63
|
| i understand that, but don’t think a compromised version of him throwing the ball so much
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| I just don’t know if we know he’s compromised yet. He made one bad throw…
Posted by OB25
|
| This game is vital for any post season hopes*
Posted by bjl63
|
| LOL, Pereira *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Love hearing the explanation*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Hell yeah*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Hooray for the explanation*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
| Good job X*
Posted by Blazer
|
| Intuitively, that’s a touchdown. But not sure you can see it?*
Posted by snipes824
|
| Nothing shows the ball crossing with control. Fumble.*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| correct, but illinois.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Xavier Scott might save us*
Posted by OB25
|
| Good job by X blocking the goal line cam view*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| That’s probably a touchdown*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| 100% fumble*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Yeah that last angle showed it. Not sure enough to say he broke the plane*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| hmmm, i think he scored*
Posted by assassin
|
| Yeesh. Rust and / or weakness in the hand?*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| He airmailed some throws before he was hurt too*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Feels like orange vs red helmet confusion.
Posted by tvillini
|
| Ooh. Hadn’t thought of that. Not sure about that on a hot route but can see the potential*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Yeah but also huge mistake letting that guys run free to the qb. It was telegraphed he was coming*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| what are we doing?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| oooof*
Posted by Blazer
|
| No bueno.*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Well fuck
