How about throwing the ball more than 1 yard? That was one of my big complaints with Lunny last two years. Stretch the the field....

Luke still not slinging it like he needs too, but the defense really tightened up nicely.

Got to throw downfield. 5 yards per attempt is poor.

From your lips to Barry's ears!

I can't tell if EIU sucks or the secondary is really good

But I do know that Pat is a STUD

This team is scary good. This is an offensive juggernaut with the 2022 defense.

 

[Turpin & Tate in 2008!]

This is fun.

 

[FloridaMan]

Kudos to the ref getting the right call on that one!

This is the game we needed. I know it’s only EIU but we’re executing and playing solid football, I love it!

Plus, I think winning this game handedly, without last minute heroics, will drive up some tickets for next weekend, too.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Feels so good to win big again! ...didn't have a single one last year...

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

We obviously have better athletes than EIU at pretty much every position. If I had to be critical of something, I'm guessing that BB won't be thrilled with the O-Line with regards to the run game. Not getting much push.

Holley for EIU looks completely shaken right now. Great job by our D after that first series

It's a game against an FCS school. Gotta take everything you see tonight with a grain of salt. So long as they can stay healthy, EIU should be a pretty good team by the end of the season.

 

[LoveLovie]

Defense looking reaaally confident. Plenty of pressure

 

[pruman91]

Takeaway U and Touchdown U..............great start to the season............

 

[FloridaMan]

EIU QB a bit skittish, rightfully so

 

[TentakilRex]

Get one more TD this half!
