Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[Mr. Roberts]

OK - after those first two drives, who had 7-7 at halftime?

 

[LFOD]

Jacas… don’t want that guy on top of ya

 

[abchew2]

Nice job defense

 

[LarryGotFouled]

Lots of mixed emotions on that half of football.

 

[phats22]

 

[Illinifan533]

HUGE stop

 

[purcy51]

Setting up a lot like last week. I like our chances

 

[NashvILLe05]

Jacas jumped on Allar’s back the way my kids jump on mine. Awesome

Great D there.

[TheodoreRex]

We got lucky our d showed up there. Just can't comprehend how we don't get points there.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Shot them selves in the foot on the one yard line, ugh!

6 yard line - but yea point stands

 

[skyIdub]

If these announcers keep giving PSU credit for "standing up" when we were at the 3yd line....I'm going to scream at the tv.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

We are 7-7 with a top 10 team on the road in an insane atmosphere. LFG

 

[Rusty]

Anyone pregame would have taken this scenario.

 

[orange100]

is the crowd booing at the half?

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

A lot of people who took PSU to cover are sweating right now.

 

[dsg]

At least we are still tied. Get rested and come back out on fire.

 

[LFOD]

Okay, I feel a bit fortunate to be tied. I’m hoping our run game continues in the 2nd!

 

[zentrails]

UGH, love how this team plays, but zero points from a 1st and goal doesn’t bode well.

No, but I'll totally take 7-7 at the half the way they are torching our D all 1st half
Time for Henry to make some changes

 

[LoveLovie]

Anybody’s ball game…I would’ve taken this any time if asked

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Maybe just snap under center on first and goal at the 2 when the ideal situation is a third down touchdown with basically no time on the clock??

This

 

[abchew2]

Honestly sucks we blew a huge opportunity but tie game keeps the pressure on at least. Defense needs to show up big this half and string together some early stops

 

[ChiefGritty]

I feel like we either win this or PSU covers.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

This

Three QB sneaks and we are in for 6. Inexcusable

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Is it just me?...Kruetz has just had a real lackluster year thus year. Have seen multiple times he's just gotten blown up in run block and then that snap...

SMH.

Happy we got off the field though but to come away with nothing there...quite enraging.
