Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[aaeismacgychel]

Blown opportunity. Man

 

[Ty’s jump shot]

That hurts

 

[Illinifan533]

Why do you run it twice there?

 

[abchew2]

And Michigan has hope. Frustrating

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Anyone have “highlights” of the MI fumble game? Thought I saw it on here, but can’t find it.

 

[FoundersClub]

We are up 6 at half but I am sure Michigan is thrilled about that.

Feels like we are/ should be up 21.

 

[hiberto]

dammit, missed opportunities we should be up more than this

 

[New Creation]

Bad snap and cost us. We should have 21-28 points on this board. Bad play calling by Lunney is why we don’t.

That half is the worst Lunney half this year.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Bad: left way too many points on the table.

Good: it’s a bar room knife fight, and at least we’re holding our own

 

[illinipioneer]

Well they didn’t say it would be easy!

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

What is Lunney doing??

For real!!! He gets so conservative it makes me wonder if he is scared to try anything

 

[illiram]

Lunney had a terrible half. We should be up more. Stop the run into the 4 All Americans in the middle.

 

[Jimbo]

Ok, not feeling good, but we’ll have a chance.

 

[TentakilRex]

Played a bit scared on offense so far, may adjustments be made....

 

[aaeismacgychel]

One of those games where it felt like we were better by 17pts and only up 6. Need to stone them on the first drive in the second half and take it down the field to go up 2 scores

 

[skyIdub]

1:41 on the clock....the passing game is working.

1st and 10 run up the middle for no gain. Just.....f off.

 

[OskeeLoyalty]

why the eff did we run that ball to McCray ?????

it never gave us a chance to get a TD


ugh - blocked

Horrific playcalling. It's odd that Lunney can call such a great game at times, and other times it's like watching rocket football.

 

[Illiniaaron]

I just don’t feel good about how this is trending. If Michigan just goes heavy run on offense in the second half it will be hard to beat them.

 

[SoCal Illini]

They have the lead, which is obviously good. Maybe it’s just inherent skepticism of being an illini fan where I wouldn’t be surprised if Michigan is unstoppable in 2nd half and illini are plagued by mistakes. Unfortunately I think the signs are there for that possibility

Hope that doesn’t happen and they learned the importance of 2nd half play after the last 2 games, Purdue in particular

Still picking illini to win, just hedging a bit

 

[RML]

Their first drive is gonna be big. If they go up, it's going to hard for our guys to not feel frustrated.

 

[Luhmania]

Just don’t understand the play calling that whole half!?

 

[Goillinikobd]

Bad snap and cost us. We should have 21-28 points on this board. Bad play calling by Lunney is why we don’t.

Is that the same long snapper that screwed up last week?

halftime: everybody pee... and drink even faster
