Lets try to get more game thread posts deleted than were during the UW game!

Geez, Riley, but Hardee has got play defense on that crap pass too.

 

[Illini1959]

I gave him too much credit *

.

 

[Archetype19]

In fairness...

...the Nebraska defender was wide open...

...why would Nebraska ever pass against us? Why?....

 

[OSKEEWAWA12]

Just unbelievable. U can't do that. Damnit. Just huge. 1st and 1. And get nothing awwwwwwww

 

[daija1005]

knew it was too good to be true

 

[Illini_Mots]

Re: I gave him too much credit *

Dumb!

 

[bkillini]

our run defense is just silly bad. slow, can't tackle, can't read.....

 

[Illini1959]

Neb runners have carried our safeties 5 yards down the field*

.

 

[anleva]

Fummmmmbbbbbbble!

 

[OSKEEWAWA12]

Well. We are getting our chances. Just think if we had those points.

 

[Archetype19]

Seriously, that's a lot of work, how far do you expect them to carry us...

[JustAvgIllini]

What a silly interception.

 

[phoenix_illini]

MM has been whipping boy on this board... HUGE stripped ball on a solo tackle for him!

 

[OSKEEWAWA12]

We must be trying to redshirt bailey. Looking back he should have been in on that 1st and 1

 

[IlliNic]

Wow defender had hands all over Barr there, hope we get that leeway too

 

[Tomahawk79]

Reilly O'Toole running read options? For real?

 

[anleva]

Still wondering how Ferguson didn't get in after that screen. Beautiful cut at the 5, thought it was a walk from there.

Absolutely. Just awful. More mistakes than yards, for sure.

[IlliNic]

Corny with so many obvious holding calls...throw a flag please

 

[Illini_Mots]

Barton 11 tackles per game? Show me a safety with that many tackles and I'll show you a terrible D. On pace for 800 yards on the ground tonight.

 

[WLakeIllini]

Great Start so far!! misque at the goal line or we would be up 7. I like 2 turnovers in the first quarter!!

 

[Archetype19]

You say that as if it's a bad thing...

....I mean we could be watching Illini history in the making...

[daija1005]

the rest of the BIG can't wait to play the Illinois Defense

 

[IlliNic]

If Banks wants to blitz aganst good run teams, we should blitz to fill gaps, not go for TFLs. We're just not fast enough to recover, and we struggle getting off blocks. If we can stop big first down gains, their inept passing will allow us to be in this game.

 

[JonnyMo96]

What is the NCAA record for rushing yards against a team in one game??

 

[Old School Warrior]

I don't understand why just don't start with the extra safety in the box. There should always be at least 8 in the box tonight.

 

[smjohnsn]

Our d is atrocious. We know Abdullah is getting it and he walks in untouched from the 8, between the tackles. What exactly was everyone doing there?

He could run for 300 tonight.

Nebraska shoes are straight from the Wicked Witch of the West in "Wizard of Oz".

 

[bfa]

Does Thomas watch and understand the absence of a college level defense precludes having a competitive football team?

I bet if they panned down to banks right now, he would be scratching his head right now wondering who is that number 8.

At least individually,

FBS: 406 - LaDainian Tomlinson, TCU vs. UTEP, Nov. 20, 1999, 43 rushes[8]

 

[Illini_Mots]

Arch, never thought of that way.

 

[bkillini]

was it just me or did gregory lead with his helmet on the hit on otoole?

 

[bucshon]

O'Toole is terrible.

 

[anleva]

There is the ROT we know and love

 

[OSKEEWAWA12]

Floating balls. Reilly's m.o.
