Ya lol. Not giving any credit to the illini, just melting down. Daniels sucks, oc sucks, Illinois sucks etc…Meltdown on the KU boards.
And Northwestern drops another to Duke. UM, ND, and NU all go down in the same week while the Illini win. Made my week.Illini beat a Top 20 team.
scUM gets thumped.
ND loses to NIU.
Iowa loses to Iowa St.
Today is the greatest day for Illinois Football since _________.
I don't think our run defense is anything to write home about, but Kansas probably has a top 5 rushing attack in the country with a top 3 running backNot to be that guy, but I felt they kinda gashed us on the runs. Was that due to our gameplan to contain Daniels, or is that a weakness future opponents will look at and know to exploit?
What a win!
We’re either ranked Monday or after we beat Nebraska imoAny way we get ranked after next week, going 3-0 after thumping Central Michigan?
NIU played a great game and I despise ND, but the makings of a tough game was off the charts. Going to A & M, winning a tough game against an SEC team....then getting a MAC team at home, you knew that there was going to be a natural letdown. If they played again next week, ND wins by four TD's. That said, NIU doesn't care. This one night is what matters.Thing I really liked was that NIU and Illinois wins were no flukes. Hard fought football games.The better teams won. Pure and simple.
Note: Please accept my "likes" right here and now to each and every one of your posts, umbrella like. I'm pooped after watching this double-header today. Will watch replay tomorrow.
Oh I'd be having a meltdown too if I was a Kansas fan. Every single time they gave the ball to Neal he ran for 7 yards and for some inexplicable reason Kansas just decided not to give him the rock. He should've had 200+yds tonight with how their Oline was run blocking tonight. If I'm a Kansas fan, I would be saying that their OC cost them the game tonight. And, they'd probably be right.Meltdown on the KU boards.
Line play IMO. Has to get better in a hurry.Not to be that guy, but I felt they kinda gashed us on the runs. Was that due to our gameplan to contain Daniels, or is that a weakness future opponents will look at and know to exploit?

I-N-I!
More concerned about run blocking. We did not run the ball effectively until Valentine.Line play IMO. Has to get better in a hurry.
Yes, and with a ton of recruits at this game! Big time win. Really impressed by Valentine too.A sold out crowd in prime time on national TV against a ranked opponent and we won!
If it wasn't for our defense, we lose that game by a couple of touchdowns. The offense put them in terrible spots for three quarters.I don't think our run defense is anything to write home about, but Kansas probably has a top 5 rushing attack in the country with a top 3 running back

Or get some votes. NIU, too.We’re either ranked Monday or after we beat Nebraska imo

Here you go. Enjoy!Link please
That tells me that it's likely a personnel issue in the backfield. Feagin and McCray are way too slow getting started. Valentine is not.More concerned about run blocking. We did not run the ball effectively until Valentine.
Meltdown on the KU boards.
Agree with this. Central Michigan won't move the needle.We’re either ranked Monday or after we beat Nebraska imo
No apologies as I adjust my orange tinted glasses....but after todays results...I don't see any unwinnable games on our schedule.
PSU and Nebby are def winnable, and scUM at home now has my mouth watering.
