***OFFICIAL ILLINOIS AT MINNESOTA WE NEED TO BEAT BB IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[SamSquatch]

We get gifted losses by Wis and Neb and it always seems like we crap the bed

Because we always do. We refuse to take advantage of what has been a garbage division for years.

 

[Texan Gopher]

That. Just. Bounced. Off. His. Helmet.

God I hate our offense.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

At some point you have to execute as players - The play calling isn’t great but these players need to make a play

Conversion on 3rd and 12 was there. Bad throw. Not a great adjustment to try and catch it either.

 

[Igor95]

Need the D to hold them this series again!

 

[Texan Gopher]

The kid from Arkansas may start game 1 in 2024. Our offense sets offenses back 30 years.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

NW failed to get in the end zone from the 2. Turnover on downs.

[GringaGopher]

Why do we continue to have defensive confusion so often ? It has cost us too many TO’s and poor coverage in the past.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

4 sacks today!

 

[cncmin]

hahaha they played “prevent” on 3rd and long again. I guess it finally worked.

 

[Stuff]

DLine has been excellent here later in the game

 

[fmlizard]

Is there a rule that Illinois football must always have a guy named Isaiah Williams?

 

[short ornery norwegian]

The D is doing it's job. Now the offense needs to pull their heads out of their backsides.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Who's gonna step up and keep our season alive?

 

[Igor95]

Need the offense to step up now!

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

We're gonna win this game.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Who's gonna step up and keep our season alive?

I’ll guess Jackson

 

[GopherJack]

Autman-Bell a non-factor today.....

 

[Bayfieldgopher]

Forget about Newton. Go back to the OL scheme used in first half.

 

[cncmin]

The D is doing it's job. Now the offense needs to pull their heads out of their backsides.

true, right now, but the D did give up the lead inexplicably.

One completion for 6 yards in the 3rd.

 

[Homerpalooza]

NW failed to get in the end zone from the 2. Turnover on downs.

That we lost to them is all the more distressing

 

[short ornery norwegian]

According to the TV crew, Newton must be the greatest player of all time.

 

[Stuff]

Just going to have to get 3 yards and a cloud of dust the rest of the game.

 

[Igor95]

Damn.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Believe it or not when you run every play at some point the defense figures it out.

 

[Iceland12]

That was awful. The call, the blocking and the run.

 

[USAF]

Such a stupid fucking call on 3rd and short.

Jeebus. Junior high shit.

 

[Tully55]

We have the slowest developing run plays

 

[GopherJack]

Slow developing 3rd down shit play for a loss.....ugh
