What did we learn? Illinois Edition

lo country said:
They were on the field that 3rd quarter drive for almost 8-9 minutes.  The AM on the next series takes the ball to the house and they are right back out.  Needed the TD.  You take what you can get, but it is like the O, D and ST are 3 seperate teams that do not communicate.  One does not try to help the other.  It is a disjointed affair at best.

I’ll agree with you it’s a disjointed affair. But the first half of our offense doing absolutely nothing and leaving our defense out on the field did them zero favors and clearly played a role.

if we’re being honest that first Illinois drive in the 2nd half is exactly what we used to do consistently for decades.

Well we learned that Frost’s body language is easier to read than than the Illini defense. His arms were crossed during the postgame presser today, same as they were when he appeared that day with Alberts to sort of discuss the NCAA investigation. Not real sure he wants this gig much longer. 

 
I’m tired of the same old coach speech pre-game and afterwards.  Past the time to see it on the field. Today was more of the same.  AM does not seem to be the answer at QB but what else can we do- there is no development behind him.  I saw nothing fundamentally different from last year. ST play & running game and costly penalties 

 
We lost by 8 points.

Britt gifted them 2 points for a safety that should of never happened.

The Refs gifted them 7 points (reversed an interception because we touched their QB???...what a f&*$%#* joke!)

Lost two points because we cannot make the point after the TD.

Score minus all of the poorly coached/refed bulls&$%   NU 24    ILL 21

Forgot about the scoop and score that our first ever 4 time Captain gifted ILL so score would actually be:

NU 24   ILL 14

Defense played well enough to win the game.

Offense played s*&$^# enough to lose the game.

Special teams continues to be terrible.

We continue to make MASSIVE mental errors that cost us wins.  I think we are all in agreement that this is solely on coaching.

Same ole same ole.

If Frost gets fired this year, this will be the biggest reason why!

When Frost gets fired this year. 

FIFU. 

My personal prediction is right after OU drops 70+ on us.  Matt Lubick will take over as interim HC for the rest of the season and my W/L prediction posted in another thread still stands.
