Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[derrick6]

Purdue game plan so simple it’s embarrassing if we can’t capitalize.

9 yards passing!

These are worse than the basketball game threads. We're up 24-3 and you'd have no idea by reading this thread.

At least basketball can turn on a dime. The odds of Purdue's offense scoring 24 points in a game is almost zero.

We also just held a team to 9 pass yards in a half.

To that point, they need to pass to score that many points in a half. Otherwise they'll use too much clock.

/checks notes
//9 first half passing yards

It appears they cannot pass.

Same thing happened on Directv. IS that what you are talking about? It's back on now.

Yes Direct TV..

Seems to me that Mr. smart arse Ryan Walters was not ready for the big time HC position..............cocky mo'fo will be looking for a DC position this off season................he really really will................

 

[NashvILLe05]

Don’t allow them to snap their TD drought in the 2nd half. Pour it on in front of all the recruits!!! Pants down Walmart spanking.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Make that 48-6

It would be nice to be the reason Walters is fired

I am getting about 2 hours of sleep a night with this first week of baby Yosiah. It’s making me so emotional lol. I apologize guys. I’ll be better.

Love the appellation!

Our visiting recruits were spotted at halftime:

Is it? Most people who aren't Illinois fans probably expected us to win handily. It's just all of us used to our team laying an egg that figured we would, well, lay an egg.

I mean...if you had "kickoff bounces backwards and is recovered by kicking team at the end of the half" on your Bingo card......you should have spent that on a lottery ticket?

What thread are you reading? Pregame stuff??? It’s been relatively honest here. Purdue is predictable and everyone here sees that.

Onside kick?

side kick!

 

[BDMAN]

Altmyer is throwing some floater deep balls. Put some muscle on it Luke. Gifted the ball and we aren't doing squat with it.

Might be the wind affecting his passes

Would you take him back? In some capacity…

 

[Battle89]

So, what's the record for the longest successful onsides kick?

If from the 35 yard line, I’d say 15 yards

I know Coach B is a huge fan of double dipping, scoring at the end of the first half, and then again with a drive to start the second half. Digging deeper into his repertoire, he just invented Triple Dipping, with a cherry on top, if we can push it down the field on our next possession.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Purdue special teams has broken this one open for us. And we get the ball first to start the 2nd half.

 

[derrick6]

Well that is a half ending nobody had on their Bingo card.

Except the odds makers

 

[TentakilRex]

Literally playing against a high school offense.

That would be an insult to many high schools. I think schools ranging from North Crowley to Aledo to Byron would feel insulted.

Great observation!! Love it!

Please come out to score 7! That would be nice for us onlookers

 

[illinidarrin]

I'm pretty annoyed with the 145 yards rushing for Purdue though. That has to change.

 

[derrick6]

I think I misread. The bounce of the ball, truly no one expected.

 

[Battle89]

I might take Cary-Grove’s triple option against this Purdue defense.
