Why?  Is it a game that lends itself to staying calm?

ScarletPimpernel claimed we couldn’t come back from 14 down something like 3 mins into the 2nd quarter. 
 

I’d say he needs to calm down.

What is the 'undisclosed' injury our kicker has that has kept him out this long? Was his leg amputated or something?

hip- probably out for the season but you know the secrecy this staff has with injuries

[3rd and long]

A better drinking game tonight might be every time Millen says Cover 2.

That this team is much better than many here believe, and when you gave up they responded and tied the game?

 

The big picture is this team was a pile of hot garbage last summer, worse than anyone could imagine. But that doesn’t mean we’re a bottom feeder as some of you chicken littles claimed in THIS thread. 

  

Hell, every time you say they’re playing flat, or that we can’t score, they prove you wrong. But I can’t see the big picture. 

 

The bigger picture is that the game shouldn't be this close. This team is still a pile of hot garbage, whether or not you care to admit it to not. Four TOs and 10+ penalties are unacceptable.

[The Duke]

Keep an eye on Illinois' linebackers. They are really starting to bite down hard when Wan'Dale runs.

 

Something has to eventually open up deep for the tight end or other receivers.

Please provide evidence of that. I'll wait.

Sucks- your almost prophetic- Do you predict we win?

 

Yes, I mistakingly predicted that we had a defense.

[The Cornfather]

My heart jumps into my throat every time Mills carries it.

[LumberJackSker]

Just dont turn it over. Their D cant stop them.

If we were anywhere near as bad as you seem to hope we are, wed be down by 3 scores. I said it last week. You have the worst takes.

Martinez jumps every snap, even when they’re not high. Might just happen all the time in practice.
