Game Thread: Indiana vs. Illinois (9/2) 8 p.m. EST on FS1

It would be great to have a unit on either side of the ball that didn't completely rely on one person for once.

I just don't see an ascending program here. What are our options?

Dude……our best lineman and our best defender in one night. 

Did our RB ever come back in?

Yes. Not like you should have noticed though.

Lol. This team sucks.

Props to the home-crowd for intimidating the Illini! 

Sounds like our arch nemesis halftime claimed another 5,000 victims.

Um. Tell me you are not watching
Without telling me.

Yes, I was shocked to see him come in the very next series. Now has it been statistically noticeable? That would be no.

Tell me you are not watching without telling me. This team will be very lucky to get 2 wins.

I'd love to hear what you've seen that suggests otherwise. This feels like a 3 win team. What would you call it?

[LIHoosier]

Cam back on the sideline with his helmet still on. Freaking warrior.

It was great, 2/3/4 years ago, to see IU tackle like I’ve not seen since a couple of the Mallory years. Tonight, however, we have missed a lot of tackles including the dude that had the Illini receiver at the 5 but whiffed.

Did Shivers just run to the pile?

I'll honestly just take hiring Kevin Wilson. Tackling ability isn't going to change. We could probably score though... Might have an OLine that could block 6 year olds.

Literally the first time I've heard this quote in my life.....

"This run defense has been so tout with that 3 man front."

****ing WOOF.

[Trish]

I don’t see us winning more than 1 game this year. 

[Josh]

Boy this is brutal.  A switch has to flip quickly or this season will be a loss.

[RoadRage]

Bazelak is getting hammered....maybe try a screen pass to slow down that rush?

Yeah I'm not loving the lack of mis-direction/disguises on offense. I know the line is bad but there's enough talent at skill positions to get guys in space and have a more efficient offense. Bazelak should not be 14/32 right now. 

[Trish]

Yeah this may be Tom’s last year here. 
 

this OC hire is already a complete fail.
