He’s overthinking it. Our pass game + Luke running is hard for them to stop.

I wanted 6 touchdowns in the first half, but we didn’t even get half that. Booooo!

Halftime thoughts:
1. If you try to hand the game to the defending national champs, they’ll probably take it from you.
2. If we are going to win, Luke is going to be the guy to win it … can we please let him?!?!
3. So glad this game was on CBS. I can’t help but feel that the occasion is getting so much more respect and reverence than it would have on FOX or NBC.

Snap on the prior fg wasn't great either.
A lot of missed opportunities that you can get away with vs poor teams.
Terrible snap... can't do much from there... certainly frustrating.
7-13 is more than a take for me though but certainly got things to clean up...

2 missed chances for FG's......one we didn't try for and then the blocked FG.........I would feel a lot better if the score was 19-7..............
I really really would.................
Illini up 13-7 at the half ..........................defense has to play better in the second half and maybe blitz a time or two to rattle the tuttleman.........................we need more turnovers in the second half..........................we really really do........................

had the same thought.... LA has 68 yds passing but also probably ~45 yds DPI, , ~45 yds running.... McCray is average 2.8yds/carry
ugh, come on Bret. rally the team!

Lunney needs to understand......our game winning playmakers are Luke, PB and Z.
When you need a play made....these are your guys. With 1:41 on the clock....these are your guys. 4th and 1....these are your guys.
Our running game is complimentary at best....especially with Feagin out.
Luke will win this game if you give him a chance.

My main positive thought going into the 2nd half is that Luke >>>> Tuttle. Gotta find a way to somehow contain their run game

stop the run and we'll be ok.
OTOH that was true in the first half as well
That last drive play calling / game management is completely unacceptable. 2nd and 1 you cannot run the ball with only 1 time out and 40 seconds or so to play.
Lunney needs to quit wasting downs on unwarranted negative run plays...

Two more turnovers and we win this
Not to mention having Mr Clutch Luke as your QB.
I think that's spot on

Kudos to CBS for some fantastic coverage of our 100th

Some folks say Lunney has called master classes but I really don’t think he’s it. The data show the strengths and weaknesses here but clearly ignores them.
