Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[purcy51]

That was 6pts if Scott had caught it...

 

[Jimbo]

I’m not feeling good vibes here. We need a play.

11AM, the way that low late-fall sun hits MS, empty crowd, alternate uniforms for no reason, making mistakes and feeling like just sort of going through the motions, these are extremely triggering bad vibes of the recent past.

 

[DERV64]

Need a a new OL coach asap...this dude gets so much praise for nothing.

 

[Scoregasm]

We definitely are not playing like a ranked team.

 

[New Creation]

We really need to work on our S & C routines when it comes to injury.. I remember there was a time when our basketball team would have injured players all the time.. and then Fletch was hired.. injures are very rare now...

The same needs to happen in the football program... just someone to help out Tank in that department

We're looking all out of sorts today. Both lines getting absolutely obliterated is a big part of it. Need to find a way to get some stops on defense.

Yeah I’m getting vibes that we may lose some games at the end of the season now.

I've had a bad feeling about this one all week......

 

[FloridaMan]

So far, the great Thursday practice is not carrying over. Need to wake up before we find ourselves two scores down in Q1.

Don't see Bart getting much praise honestly. Maybe when he was first hired, but not over the past 2 seasons

 

[TheodoreRex]

Really needed to come out and punch Minny in the face. Instead we've come out and our losing the run game, losing the TO game and are putting all the weight on our defense's shoulders. The literal complete opposite of what we want to be doing.

 

[CDRUSN]

Never heard of Meed, but that was a great open field tackle.

It looks that way on tv, but apparently the crowd is better than what we are seeing. Except for that student section...

[Spokane Illini]

Time of possession is getting lopsided

 

[New Creation]

their QB just fell... no one even touched him... Whatever.. we will take it

 

[Epsilon]

Their O-line is holding sooo bad. c’mon!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Nice play by Mead there, followed by a good coverage sack

 

[purcy51]

Jacas was held like nobodies business on the 2 &10
EDIT: Make that every play

 

[TheDrinkinLincoln]

Just gotta survive. A nice long drive will get us back in it. Gotta get a turnover in the secondary, the plays are there.

 

[illinidarrin]

Good stop.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Nice of Brosmer to sack himself there

 

[Ryllini]

I really hope we can find something on the ground. I remember years where we were complete buns as a team but still could pound the football a little.

 

[FloridaMan]

Time to do your part offense. Man up and start blocking somebody!

 

[abchew2]

Good sequence by defense. They are holding strong so far with a few chunk plays given
