Game Thread: Illinois at Penn State

[abchew2]

Great call there. Nothing cute

 

[FloridaMan]

Time to open up the playbook, Lunney

 

[statefarm]

Maybe not sexy but for anyone who has played football, that open field tackle in space by M. Scott every bit as impressive defense play as a one-handed catch is on offense.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

ugh

 

[FloridaMan]

Luke, my man, don't stand there like a statue

 

[TheChief4Life]

CanNOT have that happen…!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

How. How does that happen? How do you allow that?

 

[LFOD]

Big McCray

 

[IlliniKat91]

Those by the head tackles need to be taken out of play. Both teams have made a few like that tonight and it can't be safe

 

[New Creation]

again. RUN A SCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Thaillini22]

Time to open up the playbook, Lunney

Edit: i've thought both things this game

Protection just isn’t there consistently

 

[LarryGotFouled]

Line play.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Ooooooookayyyyyyyy. So Luke had less than a half second to react on that. As a qb, you kind of need your line to actually block people

 

[JJE]

Welp.

 

[superfan]

Luke is getting mauled

 

[illinidarrin]

If we had a defense like that, we would be 12-0 this year.

 

[Fighting I 95]

We have refused to pass the ball down the field. Its either a short pass or a run.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Again… they have 8 guys in the backfield AT THE SNAP. The !!!! are we doing?

 

[Illinifan533]

Reminds of me last year's game where it was too easy for the Penn State defense.

 

[ChiefGritty]

Somebody's gotta call timeout there.

 

[FoundersClub]

We are getting bullied.

 

[BashCtIllini]

QB has to see that and shift the protection. There was 0 chance that play was going to work.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Screen there on 3rd would've gone for 30
