Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Regardless of final outcome, this game is functionally a loss. Oof.

 

[Coop70]

I guess we will find out next week whether we are actually any good or have simply played bad teams so far.

I already have my answer.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

More punchable face...Fran McCaffrey or RyanWalters...go

Fran, ALWAYS and FOREVER!

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Uh, we should probably win this one. If we lose, I don't need to wait until next week for that answer.

I get all the other factors in play....but the bottom line, if you are a bottom line kind of person....is this is the worst team in the B1G...and one of the worst P5 teams in the country right now, with their backup QB.

I don't want to overreact....but this is not a good look for Aaron Henry

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Please score here, and take a LONG time to do it.

 

[BDMAN]

I just hope we hold on for the win this game is on real jeopardy right now!!!

He's in way over his head. Was clearly evident last year. He was nowhere near ready.

I don’t think questioning Aaron Henry is overreacting. If anything, just questioning his coaching ability is underreacting

 

[Scoregasm]

We need to score since we can't stop purdont.

 

[AT6]

Can we run 10 mins off the clock?

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Twice as mad because of all the recruits watching this. Unacceptable.

all the ones that play line should know they can get playing time right away

 

[phats22]

...stop running up the middle, please

 

[illinidarrin]

This is how i feel, even if we win, it will feel like a loss.

 

[SoCal Illini]

Definitely walters.

Think about it, if you punched Fran his head would explode and you’d be in the blast radius

8 minute drive for a td?

I’m wearing my Juice jersey

 

[DERV64]

If anyone has actually watched them this year it was always a mirage. They have been giving WRs 5 yards of space all year

 

[Jimbo]

Is anyone encouraged by the fact that gamecast has us at 88% win probability?

 

[illinidarrin]

And now Priestly gets hurt.

 

[derrick6]

RW have bets on the game going for 2?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Priestly down...

I just don't know...

Nope
