Illinois vs. Cincinnati, In Game

  • wildcats20
    That's what Speils was talking about also. They have the offense to hang with anyone in the Nation on a given Saturday. BUT the defense is suspect at best right now.

    I agree with what everyone else is saying. Great offense. Suspect defense. Which makes me think TCU belongs ahead of them.
  • charliehustle14
    That's why they're Illinois....

    WIDE OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • charliehustle14
    I don't really care who wins but I'd like to see the Illini make this a very close game, at least.

    The defense isn't just suspect, it's bad.
  • charliehustle14
    Illinois' best shot at running is going to be with Juice himself
  • mallymal614
    How are you going to have a running back like Isaiah Pead and only run the ball 4 times the whole game!!!!!!!!!!!
  • charliehustle14
    Typical Illini.

    What a garbage late hit call.
  • charliehustle14
    I did think it was a bad call too. let the guys celebrate a little bit. But regardless, still a prime example of Illinois killing themselves.
  • mallymal614
    Not taking anything from Cincinnati, but Illinois been killing themself!!!!!!!!

    -Late hit late in the 1st half when inside the 6, had to settle for a field goal instead
    -Juice missed a wide open receiver in the 3rd quarter that was a sure touchdown
    -Illinois defense had a great goal line stance, but a personal foul gave Cincinnati new life, and they took advantage of it with a touchdown.

    My goodness!

    Gilyard doing his Ray Small
  • charliehustle14
    Ok Illinois, you can't run the ball right now. Just freakin' air it out.
  • charliehustle14
    I know it was still a nice defensive play to begin with, but he's got to hang on to that ball and come up with the pick.
  • charliehustle14
    Zook is a terrible play caller
  • mallymal614
    Way to challenge the touchdown Illinois!

    TOUCHDOWN ILLINOIS

    42-30 with a lot of time left when you look at these defenses.
  • charliehustle14
    Nice strong running by Juice.

    Juice needed to run more in this game. He's Illinois strongest runner and he proved it on this drive.
  • LJ
    Cicny's defense is terrible.
  • charliehustle14
    If Illinois can get this to a one possession game with ample time left, I think Cincy will crap down their leg.
  • devil1197
    Ill defense just cannot make a stop.
  • charliehustle14
    Cincy loves the cut block on those screens.

    That Illinois player got his ankles taken out from behind. Kind of cheap and probably a penalty.

    What in the hell was that ref looking at the back of the endzone??
