Game Thread: Illinois vs Central Michigan

Beautiful start!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

This is the way to start the game- long drive ending in a touchdown. Now 3 and out them and do it again. Don't let them think they have any chance in this one early and often.

Love the playcall on that TD for Pat!

 

[pruman91]

great play design on the TD pass..................it really really was.

 

[RDS]

Hope for more carries for Valentine today. He looks like the real deal to me.

 

[zentrails]

PB and Marshmallows!!

Can't be more open than that! LOL
Nice route running

 

[TheChief4Life]

…complete to Franklin.. his 3rd catch on this drive! He is going to go for over 100 today.

Franklin gets over 100 receptions today? Seems doubtful.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Can't be more open than that! LOL
Nice route running

Here at the stadium it looked like Franklin was open too. Probably could have thrown to either, but Bryant was more open.

 

[FloridaMan]

Come on defense. Too easy

 

[New Creation]

They are attacking with slants and up the middle runs now. And a dumb dumb dumb late hit. Rose is about to be kicked out for the game. He did hit him in the shoulders not the neck and head area.. but…in slow motion. That just looks like a great play

 

[FloridaMan]

Late slide. Of course goes against us. We rarely get calls like that.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Not targeting. Barely a late hit…

 

[Jimbo]

Not even close to a target. Move on,

 

[band camp]

Not targeting at all.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That's a super late slide. What is a defender supposed to do there?

 

[ChiefGritty]

They're going to uphold it even though Rosiek did absolutely everything physically possible to avoid targeting

 

[LFOD]

Not targeting

 

[eas23]

Are we sure that's not a fumble too?

 

[PopChampaign]

Need to tighten up

 

[dwpittman]

I don't know how you avoid that. He was already going into the tackle when the quarterback started his slide and it looks like he hit chest to shoulder. How are they calling targeting? Unless they're being over cautious

 

[visgc]

Yeah, my feed is laggy as all hell as well. Peacock is that streaming service that I constantly have issues. I know others have said it's fine for them, but every location and device I've ever used it on has been problematic

I changed my device from 4k to 1080 and it cleared it up

 

[aaeismacgychel]

That's expecting a defender to stop all momentum in a single half step. Don't know how that's possible. His knee wasn't even down

 

[dsg]

That's acceptable.

 

[FloridaMan]

Not a great series here by the D. Have to be better. Gotta hold to a FG attempt

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Do they call Rosiek “D. Rose” in the locker room? Jesus dude, we get it…
