Game 5: Illinois @ Nebraska

[bucshon]

Kick off set for 8 p.m. CT

 

[bucshon]

Reilly O'Toole will start. Wes Lunt could play if necessary.

 

[Giovanni]

Hopefully 610-3 on DirecTV KO @ 9:06 PM ET

 

[bucshon]

Kick off is at 8:12

 

[djpc]

Hmm. Well, bad news about Lunt. He seemed like our chance to keep it close. Hope ROT has a great game.

 

[IlliniBoston]

With Lunt out, I think we lose by 5 or 6 touchdowns.

 

[Illini1959]

# of throws it takes for ROT to get picked off ? I think 12 *

.

 

[anleva]

I think first series sacked and fumbles

 

[OSKEEWAWA12]

41-17 Nebraska. We have 3 turnovers

 

[IlliniJoeJoe]

I think it might be necessary, what the hell is going on?

 

[twinz123]

How long will it take for everyone to lose interest?

 

[anleva]

Helmets look cool at least. So we look pretty while getting steamrolled

 

[OSKEEWAWA12]

Revised. 60-17

 

[IlliniJoeJoe]

They night run for 600 yards

 

[daija1005]

this is going to be shocking to the defense

 

[NJIllini]

Why no Lunt?

 

[Archetype19]

Is there a rule that says we can't hit the opposing TB...

...unless he's 8 yards past the LOS...

 

[OSKEEWAWA12]

They have real o linemen. Holy cow. Only hope is that they abandon the run for sone reason

 

[IlliniBoston]

We are so overmatched it is silly.

 

[Archetype19]

That's about as apt a description as I've seen...

...nm...

Damn....there goes the shutout!

 

[IlliniJoeJoe]

They will score is many points as they want to

 

[daija1005]

Coach TB defense needs help

 

[OSKEEWAWA12]

Big ten bodies against fcs

 

[Illini1959]

Sometimes you just have to laugh *

.

 

[IlliniJoeJoe]

Reilly O'Toole anyone?!?

 

[djpc]

Boy our run D is bad. Abdullah will have 200 in the first quarter. Can't succeed in this league if you can't defend the run.

 

[twinz123]

That didnt take long ...

 

[Archetype19]

Feels like I am watching a scrimmage between...

...a Varsity squad against a Freshman squad...

...and our Lunt-less offense hasn't debuted yet...

...anyone know the Pope well enough for him to grant us a miracle - cause we're going to need one, and probably two to keep this close....

Phantom injury. He saw Nebraska on the schedule.

 

[jdbfan]

It's over. Time to watch something else.

 

[morrisvirgil]

Game over first drive tells it all

 

[IlliniBoston]

Keeping Banks was genius.

 

[IlliniJoeJoe]

Re: Feels like I am watching a scrimmage between...

If we stay within 30 points it will be a miracle. We are playing a real team today.

 

[618illini]

Why was Beckman....

Allowed to keep his defensive staff intact after last season?

 

[mattcoz]

That drive brought to you by swiss, the official cheese of the Illini.

 

[NJIllini]

In all seriousness, is he hurt?

 

[Giovanni]

You've heard of strength-on strength? That was strength-on-weakness...with predictable result.

 

[Archetype19]

First down...

...we almost had one...

 

[mailpost21]

Sorry Doug, for criticizing Beckman before. I was way off base.
