1ST HALF GAME THREAD!

[NebChicago]

Is “Precious Angel From Heaven” an odd nickname for Dylan?

Rhule told the refs you owe us the second half. At least in my mind, he said that.

 

[RedMyMind]

Well, at least they don't shit the bed like previous teams

 

[The_Man_Behind_The_Man]

Do we have the worst ref crews every week?

Absolutely! They are fresh out of Referee school!

 

[RBigredMax]

Had that ball in a vice grip the entire time. Stud!!!

 

[shine003]

I would love to see us commit to running DD down hill. He was making hay there until we subbed out to rhamir.

He could use a dash of Pelini when dealing with those assholes

 

[Mr.Scary13]

Did not play well and should be up 14. Bring it home in the 2nd half.....

You mean reject school

2nd half we will see more.

Defense needs to make a stop and get the ball back. Illinois hasn’t punted yet. That’s not winning football

It’s bad real bad.

I thought Illinois had a good kicker. Not sure why they went for it on 4th and 8.

This first drive after the half...it is the drive to determine the game and maybe how the rest of the season looks.

Bielma must have needed a light snack before halftime. Guess he ate the kicker?

 

[bmb81664]

Gottula seems to be holding up at LT so far.

Let's not get too carried away

Big time wind against em there

I mean, our D hasn't stopped them consistently, and their RPOs had been money for their QB up to that point. Not a crazy decision IMO.

 

[salsa red]

IL NIL is so bad and Bert's so fat that the only sponsor they got for their field is ozempic

 

[shine003]

This isn’t the most prolific offense we are going to see. Not sure why we seem to have taken a step back, unless people have figured out the 3-3-5 and we need to adjust.

 

[BTF69]

Let's not get too carried away

Is it though? Pretty much every team we play, except OSU, is the same or lamer than the Illini...if NU can't put them away, at home, at night, 400th sellout, well...

Agree 101%

USC seems ligit. Maybe IU. Both on the road.

 

[BTF69]

USC seems ligit. Maybe IU. Both on the road.

If NU is worried about IU because it is a road game...then NU is not even sniffing where we all hope they are...

 

[BigBL87]

I just can't figure out IU. They just kinda came outta nowhere.

 

[Rick.Shaw]

“They are letting them play!” Dork forgot about the play 1 minute ago. Go suck a dick piece of shit

Exactly what I was thinking. Ticky tack penalty = “They are letting them play”. Poor timing on the comment.

 

[Sodakred]

Forget the switching QB’s. Timing is a mess.

 

[Sodakred]

Good lord. No special teams is going to guarantee us a losing season.
