My #1 concern for this game is Luke's handling of pressure. He still waits a bit too long to get rid of the ball or take off if it's not a designed run. If he can limit the tackles for loss, I think it's going to be a very close game!

Something I've noticed is he still gets caught "in between" when feeling pressure. He doesn't always seems to have a firm grasp of whether to hang in and look for receivers or bail and sometimes it looks like he's going back and forth in his head. He's missed some big play opportunities as a result. I think more experience will help with this.

Mr. Tibbs
if they want “white out energy “ , then make it a white out . you can’t get the crowd to pretend it’s a white out , when it’s not . that’s not how things work .

you can’t have one without the other .

I saw mention somewhere that PSU is legally limited to one official whiteout game per year. And since they already announced the Washington game (Nov. 9) as the whiteout game for this year, they cannot make our game a whiteout without some stiff financial penalties of some sort. But, in a vacuum, they absolutely would want the upcoming game to be their whiteout game of the year. This attempted workaround is clumsy, and if I were the entity that holds the rights to the "White Out" branding, I would go after them for attempting to circumvent a contractual agreement.

Last year, Luke sometimes got that twitchy look of someone who is surrounded, and has a round jammed in the breech. This year, he is much more confident, and better at going through his progressions, though still a little slow at times. He is clearly among the best B10 quarterbacks, and has been exerting his leadership. For us to emerge victorious, I think we will need to minimize penalty mistakes, and win the turnover battle. It's a huge challenge against a great top 10 team, but that's why they call us Fighting Illini.

I bet if you polled 100 students at PSU about the upcoming game, it would reflect similar confusion about whether people are supposed to wear white on Saturday. If it looks like 50-50 white vs. any other color amongst that fanbase during the game, I will laugh my a** off.

If Michigan can rather deftly pull off the striped look like they did this past weekend, we can all happily point and laugh at PSU screwing up ONE color.

Seriously tho, who looks at "Lunney" and says Looney? Reminds me of my elementary school PE teacher who always called me PARcell when it's PURcell. I told him, "coach there's no A in my name!" Continued to do it until I went to jr high. I wouldn't doubt if Franklin did it on purpose too.
