Game Thread: Illinois vs Central Michigan

Interesting — the broadcast team’s comparison between Derrick Henry and Feagin specifically mentioning Feagin’s leg size as a potential negative. I’m not convinced leg size is the underlying reason, but it does seem like he stalls or pauses rather than attacking the hole.

Nice pitch and catch by Altmyer and Beatty
Tenth penalty. 
I hope they’re trying some new things today and we’re not this sloppy.
The good news is we're getting a season's worth of false starts out of the way today. I mean good lord
When you see the Peacock commentators trying to compare Feagin to King Henry:
C’mon Hollins.
Lotta younger guys at the skill positions the last couple drives. Just seems like they're getting those guys some reps.
Cant drop that pass. You don’t get many opportunities, so you have to take them
I think we can all take a deep breathe now.

Could have been a better throw
Sorry if I missed it but is Malik Elzy injured or something? Haven't seen him in the box score in the last two games and don't see any reports of an injury anywhere online.
Happy for the win, but waaaaaay too many errors.
Agreed, can’t do that against Nebraska.
Don’t like the punt decision. But it’s fine.
I’m thinking he’ll be starting this year

I'd rather they make them now so they don't go into Big Ten play with too inflated an opinion of themselves

We haven't deserved the cover today, let's be real.
