Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

[LFOD]

Great stop there. Gotta get a first down or two now.

 

[ChiefGritty]

They're attacking Jaheim Clarke but he's holding up well so far.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Gophers getting away with some holds

 

[TheDrinkinLincoln]

We give AHen a bunch of crap, but he is learning and rising to the challenge

 

[ILLI die hard]

The O- Line just not showing up so far!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Really good second effort by Franklin

 

[illini.watcher]

I hope all the injuries we've had don't cost us today...or for the rest of the season. We got the 6 wins, but it would be a shame if that's all we could get.

 

[TheDrinkinLincoln]

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

No reason to stop until they get called. Bret will talk to refs at halftime I'm sure

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Wow, giving Anderson a rep on 3rd and 1

 

[Illinifan533]

Jordan Anderson sighting? Shaking things up, I see.

Jordan Anderson! Is that his first carry of the season?

 

[FloridaMan]

Well, defense is giving us an opportunity. Are we good enough on O to take it or not?

 

[ChiefGritty]

We need him recruiting himself some better tools to work with.

Getting tired of starting out fast to start the season and than tanking the rest of the year. They get our hopes up every year only to get disappointed.

My hope for the year was 6 wins so anything past that is gravy to me. This season is a success regardless. Plus we have been playing above our stats which is all we have ever asked for

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Jordan Anderson! Is that his first carry of the season?

I think it is. Don't remember him getting any other carries.

 

[TentakilRex]

That last play with Anderson at FB is straight my College Football 25 playbook

BTW y'all need try the UNLV playbook with thee go-go offense at least. The triple option from the go-go offense is fun and the old fashioned split backs set is underrated as heck.

 

[Illiniam1984]

We really needed to come out and start out strong. This is not it.

Ugh

 

[fuddrules]

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

Crowd is good. Except students, they suck donkey balls.

Let's move them to the east 50 so that looks wide open.

End of quarter 1 evaluation.

Don't like the clone of Gus Johnson color announcer.

 

[mhuml32]

A lot of Minny run blitzes to start the game. Working very well for them.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

It is. Glad we are mixing him in. We need a jolt.

Thanks, I thought so

 

[FloridaMan]

Oh. MY. Lord!!!! PB!!!!

 

[LoveLovie]

Unreal catch!
