Illinois 23, Kansas 17 Postgame
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?
What a win!
What a win!
Ya lol. Not giving any credit to the illini, just melting down. Daniels sucks, oc sucks, Illinois sucks etc…
Makes me appreciate fellow illini fans.
And Northwestern drops another to Duke. UM, ND, and NU all go down in the same week while the Illini win. Made my week.
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
We’re either ranked Monday or after we beat Nebraska imo
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.
UI and KU could play 100 times and it'd be 50/50
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.
Line play IMO. Has to get better in a hurry.
I-N-I!
More concerned about run blocking. We did not run the ball effectively until Valentine.
Yes, and with a ton of recruits at this game! Big time win. Really impressed by Valentine too.
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.

Or get some votes. NIU, too.

So happy they won, so much to improve on. Looking at you, Lunney and line play. We have real wide receivers, would be good to use them more often with less runs up the middle and some screen passes to keep the D guessing. But hey, a win is a win and it’s been way to long to linger on the negatives.
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.

Agree with this. Central Michigan won't move the needle.
