They keep talking about Tom Allen and all this rah-rah BS. 

If you don't have talented players or a competent staff, all that doesn't mean jack sh*t. 

I don't get how we can have consecutive years of "the best recruiting class in history" and we still are falling behind talent wise. 

[FightFor6]

Well, I never! All that teeth grinding at the timeout has not made the impact I expected!

Damn, is Illinois playing 15?  I cannot believe that the O-line is as bad as last year.  Maybe worse.  

They could play 8 and still get to the QB. I'm not sure I've seen an IU line get pushed around like this...and we've had some bad ones. 

[Hovadipo]

Nearly every non-Chase Brown carry for Illinois has been a disaster. That dude is really dang good.

Neither really result in a better outcome. 

Truth.  But one was likable and intelligent

We had a new staff after last season.  

 

I’m talking about Head Coach, but yes we did.

Not sure about that penalty....looked like he slipped!

It's been the same under Allen every season.

Old Dominion can beat a P5 team... We definitely can't.

A huge stop for the Hoosiers defense!

Tom Allen's nepotism and favoritism is gonna be the death of us.

[RoadRage]

Impressive defense by the Hoosiers!

[Hovadipo]

They just blew that the f*** up. Wow. 
 

Make Bielema pay for that guys come on.

The recruiting classes up front reflect performance. I love Tom Allen but his recruiting is essentially the antithesis of Chris Ballard. He just cannot close on impact guys in the trenches. This season was dead in the water the moment it was decided we would roll forward last year's line.

[LIHoosier]

Great goal line stop. Or great strategy to get some points (2 or 6) when we have the ball here.

I think Tevis is at least 35 years old.

[RoadRage]

Now get Matthews loose!

[maharkn]

Brown is a tough dude, he has taken a beating

Great stop, we actually won at the line.

We might be decent if playing flag or two hand touch.

It's bad when your best player is the kicker... Could he outscore the offense this year? He's got 10 points tonight. 

[LIHoosier]

Wow, Sheridan didn't even get a call booed in his 1st game
