Chalk talk breaks down Illinois

Just look at the incredible WR blocking on this screen. Extended the play for another 15 or 20 yards. We have great WRs this year. (Last year too.) Not just in catching and running, but also downfield blocking.

We've had absolute top notch receiver blocking for a long time now, and it never gets old watching.

Would agree 100%. They block like they are in a TO offense! No selfishness either. They run as hard on blocking routes as passing routes. If they don't have the ball, they look for someone to hit. I'd like to asking opposing defenses what it's like knowing the receivers are head hunters.

 
Great link, OP!

This is probably my favorite game this year. Running up against a guy like Smoot early, wearing down their defense which clearly has some monsters and adapting our offensive strategy as the game went on. Add in some aggressive plays that make it clear Riley wants to win more than he's afraid of losing, has the team all-in and helped get a few breaks to go our way.

Good stuff for an under-the-radar trap game.

The blocking ensured he made the 18 yard line, after that it was all newby, great blocking and good vision.
