Game Thread: Illinois at Nebraska

[Second place is 1st loser]

Am I the only one not impressed with Raoila? He’s not that good

He's a true freshman that is currently lighting us up.

 

[Old.Edgy]

He’s excellent for a freshman QB.

Is he on Heisman watch yet ?

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Meh. Our defensive lapses have helped him a lot. Luke has been better tonight.

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

Is he on Heisman watch yet ?

Since week 1, I'm pretty sure. Consensus All American. Sure fire number one pick in the draft.

 

[abchew2]

Defense let us down that drive

 

[BWBW]

Well.... time for the offense to answer.

 

[TheGMan]

Meh. Our defensive lapses have helped him a lot. Luke has been better tonight.

Good QBs take advantage of defensive lapses. And he has. He’s good.

The Mahomes comparisons are annoying though, and he seems to be playing that up too much

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Am I the only one not impressed with Raoila? He’s not that good

yes...

 

[TheodoreRex]

Come on D, don't let us down. Putting too much pressure on the offense. We've only forced them to punt twice?

 

[illiniE]

Am I the only one not impressed with Raoila? He’s not that good

Yes you are the only one. He is 19 and great.

 

[Scoregasm]

Defense has been shaky at times. I would like to get some more hits on their QB with some blitzes.

Am I the only one not impressed with Raoila? He’s not that good

Yes. You are the only one.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Let’s pump the brakes a bit and wait until he plays Ohio State and USC.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Alright, Luke, take us down the field for the TD. Nebraska's D looked pretty tired at the end of that last drive, another long drive might do them in

Great. N will suck again next year.

Not sure I would say better...but Luke has played pretty darn near perfect too. His receivers have not caught well other than a spectacular one hand grab. Too many flat out drops of good throws. These teams are well matched and in this type of game, even the smallest blunders add up to a loss. But no one has lost yet!!!

 

[LoveLovie]

Well Luke is on, and our offense can push, but we have to do it the hard way compared to them. After that series we are getting to the point of mistake free football being needed

We just need ours to come out sharp after we do

 

[AZILL]

This Raiola kid is reminding me of that Wiscy QB from a couple years ago..... everything is just working....

 

[Chillinini]

Giving up too many big plays on defense.

He disappeared after playing Illinois.

I don't feel this is a fair assessment. They are more talented on offense than we are on defense and we're playing away from home. We are keeping this close and have a chance to win it late if we can win a turnover, which is as much as we could have asked for this evening.

 

[Get yourself a new map]

Toyota reminds me far more of Stafford than Mahomes.

 

[skyIdub]

Whatever he is...he is not f'ing Pat Mahomes. These announcers are both idiots.

Wishful thinking...but, I'm with ya!
