****Illinois Game Day Thread****

[PaulCrewe]

Their game plan has been perfect.  Pretty much making Ty and Nash irrelevant 

 

[DefenderAO]

Good thing they dropped it. We certainly aren’t covering anything 

They don't have tons of yards, but it's one where watching it looks different than the sheet

 

[NebraskaHarry]

Defense is disappointing. Too many easy pass and catches.

 

[DefenderAO]

They going to run some time of sprint option RPO to string us out.  Watch

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Tackling is horrible, pass coverage is horrible as well. Great catch by that kid! 

 

[knapplc]

How many times have they had long yardage with two downs to go, and gained much more than it looked like they should?

This is an easy go-for-it fourth down. Set up by a miracle catch on third and long.

 

[Waldo]

Illinois has not stopped us.   Both punts were pass behind the receivers

Huh

 

[huskerfan74]

That was a beautiful catch. Man…I thought it was dropped. Their QB is too comfortable in the pocket and his OL is good. This makes me super nervous.

 

[Born N Bled Red]

Is it just me or do they get a spot that is where they land and we get a spot of where they initially make contact that leads to a tackle. 

 

[Jason Sitoke]

Reminds me of a chinander defense. No TFLs or drive killing plays. Just let them grind you down and pray for them to drop a pass or miss a field goal after a 5-6 minute possession.

Pretty sure both spotters were born and raised in Champaign.

Huh

What?

No pressure the last 9 quarters. None

Getting gashed liked D's of old in that short passing game.

Without their second best player at WR you would think they would try and ratchet down some of the routes here
