Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[Scoregasm]

Great run McCray!

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

A little over 3 minutes left in the half. We desperately need our defense to stop them here. We can't let them score and get the ball back to start the half. That'd be a killer.

TD JMC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tied up 10-10................................LET'S GO ILLINI .....................................

 

[Illini-Rule]

Allowed

That's what I meant.

 

[skyIdub]

Ok, D. It's your turn.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Considering how poorly we've played this half, a tied game is sensational

 

[SampsonRelpenk]

Let's turn em over real quick!

 

[TyroneHogglegg]

Game over.

Uh maybe not. McCray dammm

 

[CDRUSN]

I'm trusting BB to get on the refs at the half to start looking for and calling obvious holds by the Minny O-line.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Getting absolutely 0 pash rush right now. Henry has to draw up something.

 

[Jimbo]

That's what it would look like if one of us tried to tackle McCray

I’m 63, 5”9, 165 with a bad knee. Cut me some slack, jack.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Jeez, do I miss the Law Firm.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Is anyone on our defense playing today outside of Scott and Meed?

 

[FloridaMan]

CANNOT give one up here.

 

[zentrails]

Getting absolutely 0 pash rush right now. Henry has to draw up something.

And Rosiek is out?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

D too soft thus far after those first few drives... particularly on run D...

 

[CDRUSN]

Meed has better tackling technique than many of our starters on D.

 

[thehass]

Our line play seems invisible at times.

 

[Illini-Rule]

The hole that Minnesota's Oline is creating is embarrassing for our Dline.

 

[ChiefGritty]

This is almost as bad as PSU was from an OL dominating our DL perspective.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Jeez, do I miss the Law Firm.

We need to recruit some better athletes. 2/3 stars aren’t going to cut it. Good for depth but we need to start recruiting 4 stars.

 

[zentrails]

No holding calls so far has something to do with it.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

At this point, just hoping we keep them out of the endzone. Henry better think of something at halftime because whatever this is, ain't it

I believe the defense are already in the locker room for halftime.

Don’t want to go to half down by 7. Down 3 would be a moral victory.
