Game Thread: IUFB @Illinois | Noon on BTN

[Scotty R 2,127]

The play calling in OT was just plain dreadful and we went conservative instead of trying to win the game. Just like in the PSU game where we went conservative after we got the turnover. We played to tie the game instead of trying to win

We simply lack NFL talent on defense.

There is a better chance of me waking up next to three Sports Illustrated swimsuit models  tomorrow morning than there is of Tom getting fired tonight.

You mean, there's a chance!

I’ll say it again…let him go tonight.

Have Carey finish the season, and go get a DANG COACH! 

He has to go. 

And risk have Carey win the last two and get named HC without a real coaching search? We sure Dolson wouldn't do that like his mentor Glass? Undeniable this offense is looking far more competent with Carey leading them, which is similar to how Allen got the main job under Wilson. IU loves saving money with their football program and things are looking eerily similar to want what you're proposing

You don't need NFL talent on defense to beat Illinois.  The quarterback that absolutely lit up IU was a backup at Ball State for three years and then when he was the starter there was mediocre at best.  The Illini have averaged 21 points per game, scored 7 points against Nebraska, and the most points they scored all year was 30....against Toledo.

Of course not, Scott would give Carey a 6 year contract before game 1.

If we want to be "successful" we need NFL talent on both sides of the ball.  Illinois is just one team in the conference.  We need to be competitive with all of them and that means we need NFL talent.  JMO

If any game was to be the major deciding factor!!! …. Our defensive minded head coach drops the ball and lays a huge egg!! It’s a wrap guys! JMO

Lmao. Tom lets the team down every week but never misses an opportunity to throw someone else under the bus. What a garbage “leader.”

[TTT 875]

Oh Hum….Yawn.

That was classic IU football. Find a way to lose.
