“People better get us now”

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

You have got to be fing kidding me defense!  :bang :steam

Bootle played that one like booty, that was piss poor right there.

Also, can we just stop with this worn out blackshirt handout tradition now? Feel like every time they do this the defense gets f’n full of themselves and get their asses kicked the next week. This defense isn’t feared and never was, dumb tradition now to hype up something that’s still broken

Illinois having all kinds of 1st today.

Bootle once again showing his "awesomeness" 

Really baffled how he was named a Captain as he's been bad since Day 1

Ohio State, Indiana, Wisconsin, NW never have to worry wether or not the refs will impact the game so severely as we do. It’s because they play sound, fundamental football and don’t beat themselves. 

That doesn't mean the refs aren't bad, too.

Darn. Another week where I'll have to ignore local sports talk radio and podcasts 

 

[Caliborn72]

Gave me flashbacks of that Colorado throw and catch to tie the game last year. Just a perfect throw.

 

[hskrfan4life]

Little bit of a pushoff there on the TD.

 

[Crusader Husker]

When we don't play any press coverage at all we make it easy for throw and catch for soooooo many teams.

 

[LumberJackSker]

Illinois qbs cant complete 50 percent of their passes this season yet chin has the corners play 10 miles off and let the receivers make easy catches. I just dont get it.

 

[Redman]

Our pass defense sucks sooooo bad. Can't put pressure on a QB. Receivers wide open. Just down-right awful.

 

[ndobney]

The Frost experiment is over

 

[Micheal]

Never can show up with defense and offense in the same game.
