Game Thread: Illinois vs Central Michigan

[Ander1345]

My second hot take of the day is we should embrace the forward pass because we're actually quite good at it.

 

[RockfordIllini]

Anyone else getting MSU fake injury vibes?

Just seems like all of their injuries are happening after we have a big play/are in a rhythm on O.

Hope I’m wrong.

Altmyer frustrates the heck of out me I'm not gonna lie. He's SO talented, but he kinda just waxes and wanes as a player.

Bama offered that guy for a reason, and Ole Miss let him go for a reason too.

See, now that's a great run play call. Fake it up the middle and keep for 15. Nice!

Yep, run Luke just enough (without taking a big hit) to force future opponents to have to game plan for that.

 

[skyIdub]

We are so much better when we pass to set up the run than the other way around.

Yep, I digress. It sure seems like it.

 

[OskieWowWow]

This many false starts at home is unacceptable. Cadence needs to be a point of emphasis going forward

I will go even farther

We are playing like Florida State and LSU right now and that isn't good.

I was thinking the same thing. Starting to feel like the MSU game with all the play stoppage.

No, I think this is legit. Our guys seem to be battering CMU and they've been spending a lengthy amount of time on the field. You also aren't seeing the same guys going down every other play then getting up ready to play immediately

Luke has been consistently good so far this year, IMO. No INTs, amirite?

 

[ChiTown]

Is this a conditioning problem with the CMU cause they seems to go down quite frequently.

 

[ChiefGritty]

Since when are defensive linemen not allowed to do that?

 

[FloridaMan]

Our receivers have some really soft hands. Even though he was just out of bounds, P Bryant's improvement from just last season has been amazing.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Luke is DEADLY accurate on deep throws.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

GAPPING WHOLE there for McCray...

 

[TentakilRex]

Welcome back Josh McCray

 

[New Creation]

josh M starting to look like he was as a freshman

 

[FloridaMan]

Since when are defensive linemen not allowed to do that?

I think they were saying they simulated the snap count? That's a no no

Literally this season lol.

He does look improved... at least so far this year..

 

[Illinivek23]

Brandon Henderson is #94 in those formations?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Since when are defensive linemen not allowed to do that?

I think they called the leg kick, not the shift which was what the penalty was for.

 

[Illiniam1984]

These false starts are killing drives.
