Will this loss be worse than Purdue?

IT'S FREAKING HALF TIME

This half...is worse than the Purdue comeback

Troll hard Teach, troll hard.

Do you blame him for the way people overreact? I'm getting a kick out of it. Teach isn't serious guys.

Don't feel like reading through 9 pages to see if this has been said, but Banderas and Young have been playing really slow today. They need to step it up or get replaced.

Lovie saying after that first drive they didn't get much. He's right. Hope we adjust at the half and the front 7 realize they need to play.

 

[Hayseed]

I have mixed feelings....we can run ball control and control the clock to keep our useless defense off the field, but it will kill us when we play the better teams. Better to find out now that the defense can't play ball and needs to move over to an intramural flag football team.

Ohio State destroys Rutgers today. I want us to destroy somebody in this conference

We play too slow of a pace to ever destroy or get destroyed.

Going to come out in the 2nd strong. 1st play after the touchback we allow a 2 yard gain. 2nd and 8, Nate Gerry snatches a pick and takes it to the 3. 1 play later Newby goes in for thr score. Illinois never recovers momentum.

Cornhuskers 37

Crappy Illini 20

I think 11 Amish kids could score on the blackshirts today.pathetic

gotta play a smarter 2nd half. FSU getting beat, we could move up some spots.

But should we

We aren't a top 10-12 team. I don't care if we have 10 next to our name, numbers don't fool what I see.

Wow. You are super smart!

What did I say wrong? Or what was uneducated about what I said.

Maybe it's due to the fact that we are #15

 

[Waldo]

IF WE LOSE THIS GAME, THE BYE WEEK WILL BE LOOOOONG.

 

[MichiganDad3]

We only have 72 yards rushing. TA has 5 carries for 14 yards. That hurts. IMO, TA is throwing from the pocket too much. We need more PA and rollouts.

I was replying to Beez's post about moving up if FSU and others lose and we move up from that.

 

[TheMeanFarmer]

Are our DEs as bad as I think they are?

You know what he's saying. This team is not good enough right now to belong in the top 10-12. I'd go as far to say top 20.
