| Just back from the game. Rose Bowl stadium never disappoints, even with the weather

|
| 3.6 yards per play, oof *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Laughery and Anderson had 66 yards in 22 carries. very tough to win with that.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Could have been even worse
Posted by jdl
|
| yeah for sure - I thought both of them played well. Blocking just was not there.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| BB pressor link anyone? Per favore. *

|
| we couldn't run the ball
Posted by apusikam
|
| I’m not smart enough to know whether UCLA has a great d or our o sucked*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| TO luck is on their side but Houser was not comfortable all night*
Posted by bjl63
|
| They’re 10-0*
Posted by GMAW
|
| little of both. they ran a very creative defense for a college team.
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| They have 30 takeaways on the season. And the one thing we don’t really do is give it up.
Posted by tvillini
|
| So did the rain. *
Posted by illini
|
| Hat tip, they fought hard. Could've used a bit more from the OL to give us a chance to win*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| dammit we have them a game*
Posted by apusikam
|
| Dominating or not, absolute hat tip to UCLA on their turnaround this year*
Posted by RSMBob
|
| Chesney is great. Penn St blew it there

| nm *
Posted by illinijohn
|
| All due respect, fuck that Bob*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Defense played great tonight!*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Honestly proud of that effort. Defense was excellent*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Only Oregon played them closer. And Oregon is ranked. And we beat them*
Posted by biclops
|
| *taps temple*
Posted by Waka
|
| Not sure they are THAT good but D was impressive*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Their offense isn’t good enough*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Seems to me that Mizell is way under utilized too*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| He must really do a phenomenal job Sunday-Friday because I wasn't impressed with Chesney
Posted by RVA
|
| He was very conservative tonight but got it done*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| He’s 10-0 at a program that won 3 games last season.
Posted by EffinIllini
|
| No real complaints, we’ve come so far since Purdue. Kaitin and Hudson injuries the only concern
Posted by OB25
|
| And you’re totally right, Iowa and NW very much on the menu at this point *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Oh shit, Clement is in a sling.*
Posted by OB25
|
| Damn I missed that*
Posted by EffinIllini
|
| Is it at last time for Jayshon Platt?*
Posted by RVA
|
| absolutely terrible*
Posted by tuffy7
|
| Without clement we’re kinda fucked*
Posted by snipes824
|
| Wonder if his shoulder popped out*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Yeah he came down hard on his shoulder. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| I thought he pounded his head on the ground*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Encouraging effort. QB played like total ass and we were right there. UCLA is
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Uh, I can pick out individual voices in the crowd*
Posted by RVA
|
| Oof, the oline threw up a all time shit game*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
| Great showing in a total gravy game. No complaints *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Yea. Agreed*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Within 1 score on the road to the #4 team in the country? Rank us you cowards. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| valiant effort*
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
| Pretty great effort*
Posted by GMAW
|
| Yep, they battled*
Posted by RSMBob
|
| Boyd didn’t have a prayer (and holy cow what a poor pass)*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| I was wondering with Boyd out there if we’d try to run to pick up the 1st. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| You got what you wanted*
Posted by bjl63
|
| I retract. Boyd looked like Popke from Necessary Roughness*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| LOL*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Damn, what a sad ending*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Congratulations to their seven fans*
Posted by biclops
|
| Well, tihs. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| No extracurriculars, like busting the qb's nose open*
Posted by RVA
|
| He got kneed when he was down*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| I mean that’s clearly just an incomplete pass*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| In the other view. You can see the receiver *
Posted by IlliniRunner
|
| It’s crazy that we can now actually hear them trying to fuck Illinois instead of just inferring it *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Yeah that dude flew in from nowhere, GUYS CAN WE GET THEM ON GROUNDING*
Posted by RVA
|
| Gardner rooting for an even worse outcome than a sack*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| What the hell are these refs doing?*
Posted by IlliniRunner
|
| This is kind of sad. Do we not know there is no time left?*
Posted by gvibes
|
| It’s our 3rd string running QB. There’s not really anything we can do.*
Posted by OB25
|
| You can review grounding? (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| Wasn’t down and can’t add the grounding later*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Seeing if he was down. Clock ran*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| Ah, thank you. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| They don’t even know Clayton is hurt*
Posted by OB25
|
| Finally reading the report about Clayton*
Posted by RVA
|
| Clayton is out you dumb fucks *
Posted by biclops
|
| HFS, the kid got his nose busted. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| Devin, we didn’t need you to weigh in on if you thought that was the right call*
Posted by OB25
|
| Early in the game that might not be called *
Posted by biclops
|
| Per the rules, you can tackle a receiver in the first half*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| To be fair, it very much wasn't*
Posted by RVA
|
| Damn, no clement*
Posted by snipes824
|
| Concussed?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Embarrassing that they're talking about this as the hype crowd of the season*
Posted by RVA
|
| Man, that dumb safety….*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| The guy who got the INT was so close to taking a knee too. Really wish he would have*
Posted by OB25
|
| This is very doable *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Rain stopped for our final drive?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Whatever. At least now I think we could possibly beat NW*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| They still need to make this kick. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| tihs. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| I’m way more bullish on our chances against Iowa and NW after tonight. Run defense so improved*
Posted by OB25
|
| They should have thrown. First down ends the game.
Posted by illini
|
| Agreed. Very little downside as long as you avoid the interception*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| I can't believe how well the front 7 played tonight. Insane improvement with little talent*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| Yeah agree*
Posted by snipes824
|
| UCLA playing for the FG? Interesting choice *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Smart choice considering the clock. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| Block this shit*
Posted by GMAW
|
| Did the color guy say that we would buy a timeout?*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| “ucla is for real”. Cmon guy. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| Even with Nico this is not a top 4 team*
Posted by RVA
|
| We’ve played terrible and could’ve won*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Three godawful turnovers and the one we got put us on our own 1
Posted by RVA
|
| Dumb announcers who need to fill time*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| oh well, just get 4th and makable there*
Posted by apusikam
|
| Feels like the weather disproportionately affected us tonight, which is odd against a team from
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| They’ve got a strong D and run game.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| I feel like we’ve stopped their run pretty well. But the awful offensive first half killed us.
Posted by Waka
|
| Yes but they’ve killed us with the pass*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Valid. But how much of that is because of the need to focus on stopping the run?*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
| Seems like its only raining when we have the ball*
Posted by RVA
|
| So a team can decline a penalty, see what the opponent will do, then change their mind?*
Posted by ibdoc
|
| 2 god awful throws there to end the game*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| I don't know Lunney, you need someone other than Feagin outside if you are going
Posted by gvibes
|
| Fucking garbage throw. Wtf.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Don’t bother showing us what the fucking penalty was*
Posted by OB25
|
| Didn't realize you could retroactively accept once you see what the other team is calling*
Posted by RVA
|
| Yeah I’d like an explanation on that *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Holding on our OL*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| Damn *
Posted by MC
|
| Not a great pass*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| It’s so weird, Houser has a few balls a game where he’s not even close. Wonder if it’s the injury
Posted by meanjeans
|
| There’s a reason he was available for our price*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| UCLA turns people over. That’s what they do*
Posted by biclops
|
| The weather isn’t helping, but some questionable passes on the ints. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| just about every college QB throws questionable passes *
Posted by biclops
|
| Valid. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| How many times are you just going to pitch them the ball, jesus*
Posted by RVA
|
| how is that the throw into mfc*
Posted by gvibes
|
| God this pbp guy is awful. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| Thanks for the catches, Hudson, enjoy the concussion tent*
Posted by RVA
|
| Yeah, his head hit the ground hard there. *
Posted by IlliniRunner
|
| Hope he just got the wind knocked out of him. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| Was it really that bad of a look? Kinda want that timeout in pocket*
Posted by RVA
|
| Hate burning a timeout there *

| How about a 6 min drive that ends with a TD?*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Fans getting a little nervous *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Second time today he's thrown away an easy walk to the marker*
Posted by RVA
|
| a gift*
Posted by apusikam
|
| Yes but also our defense is designed around making them do that enough times they eventually don’t *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Holy dropsies! Yes! (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| These announcers have done everything but talk up the illini*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| This color guy is truly nuts*

Posted by meanjeans

Posted by harb
|
| I would have run on first and 2d
Posted by apusikam
|
| nice that those 4 plays took almost no time*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| did not seem like a pick play*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| Going for 2 is kind of the move there IMO *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| I was also doing some math and working the score backward wondering what was going on
Posted by RVA
|
| I thought we should’ve maybe gone for two on the first TD. But I hate that when you miss it
Posted by Waka
|
| That makes no sense*

| What? No. Why?*

Posted by IlliniRunner

| Kind of looks like that was actually to the TE*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Yeah, he looked up like he assumed it was to a player in the EZ. (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| Have to go for this*
Posted by gvibes
|
| Sucks to completely waste 1st down. No idea what that was supposed to be.*
Posted by OB25
|
| Besides the point, but shorted us a yard*
Posted by RVA
|
| Why the hurry up?*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| It’s not like we’ve forced them into quick drives.
Posted by illini
|
| Sure. But that was like a hurry up and just do something to avoid a replay. Weird*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Completely wasted a down*
Posted by RVA
|
| dear god fuck these announcers*
Posted by biclops
|
| Clement is such a dude *
Posted by biclops

| Fuck you, Lunney. WR screens haven't worked all fucking game

| WR screens not getting it done tonight Barry*
Posted by Herman Blume

Posted by Waka
|
| a few more yards now :-D*
Posted by IlliniRunner
|
| Hell yeah! (nm)

|
| LOL Kaitin needs to learn ball security after both his knee, elbow, and whole body are down?*
Posted by OB25
|
| JFC. The color commentator is an absolute bitch*
Posted by GMAW

| He was a shitty Michigan qb that wore #98 I believe*
Posted by Herman Blume

| None of the refs even casually paying attention*
Posted by Herman Blume

| The spot in the hauser scramble was bad by 3 yds*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| How the kcuf do you call that a fumble on the field? (nm)
Posted by Waka
|
| Incompetence? Cluelessness? More than a bit of each?*

| Because they're told to let it play out
Posted by RVA

| Refs gonna ref*

| We’ve given up 17 points on the road vs #4. Not a d problem tonight*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| I just don’t understand a db not getting his head around in the end zone.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| coverage was decent - perfect throw and the WR jumped super high to get it*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| He didn’t jump that high. It was a nice catch, but if the db knows the ball is coming that’s
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Yeah, my only complaint is that only our converted RB has gone and gotten the ball in the air*
Posted by RVA

| HIGHPOINTED HIM! (nm)

Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Diefenbach can get dekcuf as far as I’m concerned. (nm)
Posted by Waka

| If he plays his cards right after the post game interview*
Posted by Herman Blume

| Well that was fun for about 5 minutes*

| Houser is terrible under pressure, but the bigger story continues to be the OL.

| Good news - we’re getting the ball back!*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| eh?*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Eventually*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Hauser's decision-making may be poor, but he has 0 time back there. OL is a sieve*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| His receivers aren't doing squat for him either
Posted by RVA
|
| Ol bad. But hauser also refused to check down or hit hot reads. Infuriating*
Posted by John Coctostan

| Every unit on the offense has been absolutely brutal tonight

| Might be time to give Hauser the hook*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| lol. You really think Clayton is a better option?*
Posted by bjl63
|
| He’s out tonight. Would have to be Boyd*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
| No. But hauser doesn’t have it today. It happens*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Our offense has now scored -2 points. Yes there’s a high probability Clayton would have done better*
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Just ducking stop*
Posted by bjl63

| Why don’t you stop picking fights *
Posted by meanjeans
|
| Stop saying silly shit *
Posted by bjl63

| Houser I love you but throw the fucking ball *

| yikes *
Posted by biclops

| Good lord, Houser*
Posted by RVA

| He’s broken.*
Posted by Illini Guy

| Really getting dominated *
Posted by Orangeillini
|
| As much as we complain about tackling, they ain’t much better *
Posted by biclops
|
| Ok, Barry. Let's have a drive*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| There’s gotta be one big Colin Dixon play in there tonight.
Posted by OB25
|
| I would argue he already had one big play - the drop*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| Might not be possible with this OL performance*
Posted by OB25

Posted by voiceofreason
|
| Well, kcuf. (nm)
Posted by Waka

| I know we’re down two scores but the vibes are totally reasonable *
Posted by meanjeans

| ISH*
Posted by meanjeans
|
| A sack!*
Posted by Herman Blume

| This game is very very very winnable. We might lose by 20, but we also might win *

| Receivers really rough tonight*

| I thought if we declined it they might go for it*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Yeah it seems like there’s more possible bad outcomes from the 2 than the 7*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Thought the same. Not worth it. Give them the 3 attempt*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Do they run this QB often?*

| 25 carries, 25 yds *

| what an idiotic penalty?!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Wow that seemed like a horrible call*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| They missed the hold on the other side so it evens out. *
Posted by harb
|
| I’ll allow it*
Posted by biclops
|
| Ok take advantage. Hold them to 3*

| They’ve learned they just need to get our edge guys and LB’s in space on the edge*

| Man, the star receiver discrepancy is the only thing the #4 team has on us today*

| Perfect throw to their DB*

| A bad under throw and it’s probably a TD*

| Feels like we’re outplaying them

| Yeah that was definitely on morris on the look again. LB came under and he didnt’ drop*

| Phew that was a TD with a real throw. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Wow, another completely busted coverage*
Posted by OB25
|
| One call mixup, otherwise basically even*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
| Not an expert but seems like continual fuckups make it harder to win*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Maybe lulling Chesney into complacency?*
Posted by RVA
|
| well, better than giving them the ball at the 45*

|
| I’ll assume that was to Clement and not Dixon*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Dixon was dragged down before he could come back towards the ball. *
Posted by harb
|
| Clement is really solid*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Houser dealing so far even if not rewarded on some of them*
Posted by OB25

| I’ll take it!*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Yep. *
Posted by harb
|
| Gotta block if you are running up the middle. *
Posted by harb
|
| Houser didn't count, they had no one to block that defensive end*

|
| College football is so crazy these days. Teams can have such a wide variance year to year*

| Nothing says disrespect like going for it on 4th and 6 at the 43*

| Bob Chesney does not respect our defense*

| Maybe they thought it was still 3rd down? *
Posted by jdl
|
| I don’t get it. Are they just working on the run game tonight?*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
| This is what they do. Their QB threw for 300+ on 8 completions last week.*

|
| Is the TV signal fucking shitty for anyone else?
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

| Yes, but you should probably put a hammer through your screen just in case*

|
| No, just the play-by-play guy*
Posted by OB25
|
| #truth*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| I would like to restart the season with this run defense*
Posted by RVA
|
| You'd never know how much money we dumped into this secondary*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| We should consider covering their receivers*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
| Blow coverage and drop open passes is a bad way to start *
Posted by OWWDig
|
| Yikes, might as well have just gone for it*
Posted by OB25
|
| "They're gonna allow them to play" except for the otherwise never called dline holding*
Posted by RVA
|
| It wasn't even an obvious defensive holding at that*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| As OB said, Chesney told them to watch for it and they immediately obliged*
Posted by RVA
|
| Honestly the only thing that makes sense*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| You like the no call? Wtf? PI!! Dropped pass and PI. Damn *
Posted by LovetheChief
|
| throw the fucking flag

| Such a game changing drop. Also clear PI*

| Could anyone tell what the mixup was on the TD pass?*
Posted by Blazer
|
| 10 guys playing man, 1 guy playing zone *
Posted by biclops
|
| He was passed back to a safety that didn’t exist. *
Posted by assassin
|
| Seems it was cover 3 but nobody had one of the thirds*

Posted by Ari Gold
|
| If one wanted to be encouraged, we held up well against the run game.*
Posted by OB25
|
| I think the TD was just a fluke mixup, so let’s definitely wait and see*
