[Hayseed]

Well, that was a good win.

Hey all—haven’t been able to watch, just got back from the Volleyball game with my kiddo (and taking her to get grub after).

 

Hope everything is going well tonight? Score looks okay...but 28-6 suggests some level of problem on the offense? Gonna watch when I get back home.

Love the idea of taking out a lineman for being physical and finishing a play... not.

It was a terrible penalty.  Did not see how late but it wasn't just finishing the play.

I give them a B.  Could have been an A if POB played in the 4th.

I think the announcer dude with the funny voice just sucked some helium 

First time I heard him I thought it was someone from family guy

that was impressive.  Now I think Wisconsin will only beat Riley by 14.

Easy to make progress against Illinois. It is good to see what a solid win looks like though. It seems like we still have major room for improvement but you can see some potential. Can they do it against Wisconsin though.

Riley looks done- just mentally done.  

This is pressure.  I don't know if Riles ever had pressure on him anywhere else........?  We as fans cringe every time Lee passes the ball, how do you think Riley feels each pass!

You're right let's just pull out lineman when they are being physically dominant. You have to let your big boys set a tone. I would like more of that earlier in the game. It's a shame we Play with no emotion.

Im not sure my local HS defense couldn't stop the Illini.  Our defense has improved, granted against zero competition, but is showing signs of improvement.  Lets see what happens against a true D-1 Big 10 opponent!

Agreed. Just complimenting the team in regards to the game tonight. We will all see what happens in the long term. Ride the highs and the lows.
