*** Official Illinois Game Thread ***

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.

Remember last season with chalk talk how Frost would call plays to set something up.  Seems to be missing this year.

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.

I’m cheering hard for same reason I sprinted to beat a guy for 152nd place in a 5k.

We've ran 80 plays.  You'd think the D would be rested

 

[3rd and long]

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

It’s when he makes that spin move after contact. He’s really exposed there.

Why are we running Mills east/west? 

Inquiring minds want to know

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

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. 
 

3 scores? Oh, that's the magic number you came up with to suit your purpose? 

 

[3rd and long]

Welcome back AM!!

 

[Terrabus]

We keep seeing glimpses of the QB Martinez used to be.  It's like he's in there someplace and sometimes he gets out.    

 

[3rd and long]

Man they hit. 

 

[lo country]

If Frost had let Martinez run (or Martinez chose to) since game 1, we'd be 4-0 tonight.

 

[louisianared]

Welcome back Martinez 

 

[Stone Cold]

Who is that guy

 

[Waldo]

LT Dan got his legs back 

 

[Zaimejs]

Just keep the pressure on this Defense. 

 

[Redman]

Listening to Millen is a special kind of torture.
