Game 6: Illinois vs. Purdue

[Illini1959]

He was limping a little after the first TD *

Another nice long ball to Dudek!

 

[smjohnsn]

Wow, what a throw

Dudek is going to set records at UI

Re: Wow, what a throw

And Dudek hit way early there on 3rd down. I don't like running him over the middle. He's gonna get killed.

Didn't help that Lunt stared him down *

.

 

[illini27huber]

wow

 

[bucshon]

Bad red zone play calling again.

 

[Cratchelow]

Just silly play-calling.3rd and a short 2 and we throw it twice.

 

[anleva]

That's the play call coming out of a time out?

 

[daija1005]

why not a shorter pass to keep control of the ball

 

[OSKEEWAWA12]

Wtf cubit!! I'm sick of third or fourth and short and we throw a 30 yard pass. Just get the fuking first down. Terrible

Pathetic neither team, especially us can run up the gut for 1 frisking yard

 

[Illini_Mots]

Totally agree. Third down call was ridiculous.

 

[JonnyMo96]

Is Caleb day on this team??

 

[OSKEEWAWA12]

That's the crap that shifts momentum and let's lesser teams come back and make it a game

Cubit has done this in every game

Lunt also never shirt off his first read on those

That play calling is so damn bad

 

[MKIllini]

Pass interference there? No chance to catch the ball... yet on the third down before, Dudek got mugged.....Big Ten officials are bad.

 

[anleva]

Up the middle untouched. LOL. What a D!

 

[OSKEEWAWA12]

Exactly. Nice fuking job cubit!!

Fire all these idiots

 

[Illini1959]

No idea what Neal was looking at on that TD *

.

 

[SteveInSeattle]

Worst defense in the history of football.

 

[daija1005]

the defense.....the defense.....the defense.......to easy to run against ILLINOIS !!!!

 

[CapitalCityOutlaw50]

Our talent level on D is horrendous.

Thought this was the year we had recruited to this "new" scheme.

Banks is awful, Beckman hung his hat on him, fire them both.

 

[Smash Rockwell]

time to drink

 

[bucshon]

Coaching. Awful play-calling by Cubit. Lost on defense.

 

[JonnyMo96]

Where r the linebackers in that play???

 

[Ofcswol]

Re: No idea what Neal was looking at on that TD *

Banks has got to go!

 

[OSKEEWAWA12]

A program full of idiot coaches. Really stupid coaching

 

[djpc]

Geez. We musta bought our defensive playbook fr Marvel.

 

[NJIllini]

Two bottom-feeders. Banks needs to be gone by 6pm CDT. Ridiculous that Beckie kept him around even after Year 1.

 

[MKIllini]

TJ Neal is horrible..takes more bad angles , can't get off a block. Banks continues to underwhelm with this defense.

 

[anleva]

Our linebackers never seem to have an idea which gap to fill. Wow.

 

[CapitalCityOutlaw50]

Everyone dying to put the 4th down stop on Cubit when Lunt never even looks at the matchups and a wide open Dudek??

Whatever I guess. . .

 

[jg56791]

Walls...Neal...is there one LB on this team that is an actual B1G player?

 

[MKIllini]

Yeah, our linebackers have no instincts .... miss the days of Leman, he always knew were the ball was. For linebacker you, it's been a while since we had a great one.

 

[bucshon]

3rd and 2 in the red zone, and the coaches blow it.

Then the wrong set and wrong call defensively on every single 3rd down.

 

[Illini_Mots]

How about the D run a base D and actually try and get good at it? They constantly give multiple looks and they are bad at all of them. Haven't seen anything quite like this. Coaching is bad and the personnel ain't much better.

 

[IlliNic]

Our gap control remains the biggest problem STILL. Does Banks have any clue that blitzing is only good if you plug the gaps? Really need better linebacker coaching - first priority stuff

Glad you posted this.

Tim Banks needs to be removed at halftime.

Be aggressive on 3rd down when they have the wind. When you have it (especially on the other side of the 50), don't sell out and give up the big play.

 

[NJIllini]

Be careful, Doug, or you'll have to start deleting your own posts!

 

[illini1973]

Do any of the defensive players have any pride? Or talent? Or is it the scheme? Probably a little bit of both! If you continue to do the same thing and get the same results you will lose your job quickly!
