That dropped pass last week cost Aiden Laughery, didn’t it? He hasn’t seen the field today.

Injury, I believe

It may have some but he was also questionable coming into the game. They may just be resting him too.

 

[ChiefGritty]

Respect to Jim McElwain for trying that

 

[aaeismacgychel]

outstanding awareness on the onside kick attempt

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Terrific play by #21 on special teams...

PLEASE score here...

Feagin is not the same player we saw last year, when he was hitting the holes quicker, breaking tackles, and moving piles. 2.5 ypc against MAC competition is not cutting it. Maybe the injury took more out of him than we thought, or it's just taking longer for him to round into form, but we know what he can do. Poor offensive line play is also a big factor. Would like to see more of Valentine this 4th Qtr. CMU is out gaining us on the ground, 129 yds to 95 yds

Feagin was way too quick with the toss back.

He was listed questionable pre game. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be very durable at all.

 

[TentakilRex]

Unrelated topic, maybe the PA guy should starting playing the Kurt Angle theme during games and the crowd should play along.

 

[BWBW]

Valentine's special

Hopefully he gets things going soon, we’re going to need him.

Hey guys just so everyone knows, #75 is checking in as #94.

 

[ChiefGritty]

Valentine is the truth. More of him please

[Brad Underwood voice] ELITE change of direction

 

[Coop70]

Please get #75 a #94 jersey!

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

haven't seen Franklin in a while...?

 

[WeWillWhen]

It’s criminal that Valentine has only gotten two touches.

they said he was questionable

 

[TentakilRex]

Also Valentine is like Mariano Rivera, he always be closing

 

[FloridaMan]

Haha. Wouldn't it be great if this is the same crew who called the Wisconsin game last year and BB has done this on purpose so they have to announce it all game under the new rule? Please let that be the case.

 

[Miles Leonard]

I think everybody can exhale now.

 

[foby]

Now that's a modern pass interference, you have to tackle the guy.
