Who starts at qb ?
Peters, Juice2, Robinson, or Coran ?
I'm guessing Peters.
“If you just look at us play, without going into records, stats and all that,” Smith said, “we have a legitimate chance to win each week now. That hasn’t always been the case. We are better in all areas.”
-
3 defensive backfield starters out. Sheesh.
-
Wow, this is terrible. We get the ball inside the 5 and shoot ourself in the foot. Go backwards and don’t get any points out of the gimmie from NW. Fire Lovie immediately after the game please.
-
You forgot to mention the pick that NU should have had.

Yeah I try to forget. As an Illini fan we can only take so much pain.
-
Illini are having decent success running on early downs.
-
Peters probably won't make that mistake when he's a senior.
Oh, wait.
-

Yeah wtf was that “pass” 7 yards backwards 🤦🏻♂️
-
In a running game like this, Williams is definitely the right choice at QB.
-
I would have run Brown and Epstein til NU slowed us down.
-
NW just easily scored on the defensive genius. Go figure.
-
Running the qb didn't work.
Let's try passing.
-
This is absurd. Let the Aussie just play offense.
-
Nice play calling Rod.
-
Well good way to waste a fake punt. Then miss a 53-yard FG attempt. This is some stupid fucking play calling.
-

They should. He’s been our best offensive weapon so far.
-
It was raining all night in Chicagoland. The field is soaked. It's windy outside. Run the ball.
-
Rod Smith and Lovie should have a duel where I can root for them shooting each other.
-
It really is absurd how shitty our defense is for having a supposedly defensive genius as head coach. Our tackling is piss poor and WR’s run wild with nobody within 15 yards of them wide open. Unfuckingbelievable
-

I’m cool with that.
-
The fake punt is a play you save til the 2nd half. Don't burn it early . Hope to stay in the game and use it if you need it.
Run the backs twice from the 40 on 3rd and 5.
-

They would both be shooting blanks tho.
-
Why do I bother even watching this?

Exactly
-
Yeah, no idea why I watch this shit.
-
I get more laughs watching us than other games. College football should be entertaining.
-
Good stop by the D.
-
Be nice if we had some sand on that 4th down.
-
See if they can convert a third fourth down on this drive. Embarrassing
-
17 plays.
24 seconds left til the half. 🤣🤣
-
Yeah that’s offensive PI, but seriously, who cares. Not gonna change us getting our ass beat.
-
How do we even consider this a rivalry? If you never win, is it? Lovie and the players talk so much shit for never being able to back it up.
-
I'm driving to Dyche Stadium right now to punch Lovie in the face.
-
I believe Whitman is 100% going to bring Lovie back for next season to see what he can do with his players and a full “normal” season with no COVID limitations. Totally wrong call, but whatever.
-
The stats, maybe, from FightingIllini.com.
Lol.

Golic rooting for Lovie to be back next year. Fuck you Golic, he’s terrible.

Even the statisticians don’t even know who the fuck we are.
-
Brown and Epstein, 17 carries for 85 yards.
Qbs, 7 carries for 6 yards.
3 for 10 passing. 🤣🤣
Nice game Rod.

So word is that Delano Ware quit the team. Lovie has way too many former players that don’t like him or his staff while being at Illinois. Really bad look.

Perhaps Ryan Day is subbing as Illinois OC for this game. He wants to try out some things against NW's defense while still making sure Northwestern wins so the Wildcats have a decent ranking next week when they play Ohio State.
-
this is bad
-
Honestly, are the players aware of how much of a shitshow this is?!
What’s crazy is NW goes for it on 4th down every time and Illinois punts on 4th and 1. Like wtf?! What do u have to lose Lovie or Rod?! Go for it you pussies.

NW has 346 yards rushing? And we have 21 yards passing.

Still ?
We had 21 at the half. 🤣🤣
Rod's on top of his downfield passing game today.
-
Forgot Illinois was playing football today. Thank god
-
Started watching just in time to hear NU has rushed for 400 yds for the 1st time in 17 years, also against I L L, eh ?
-
What the hell is the point of this and why hasn't Lovie ridden off into the sunset with his money bag yet
-
Forgot Illinois was playing football today. Thank god
Damn, lucky you, lol.
We're just passing time until the Bragging Rights game later today.

So what exactly is the point of playing next week? Draft position?

Kevin Sumlin is fired from Arizona.
How Illinois would it be that Lovie takes retirement and we pay an astronomical amount for Sumlin to take over. So LOLinois.

If it comes down to hiring Sumlin or keeping Smith, keep Smith. Sumlin has not been a good head coach at a P5 program. Can't believe some on HQ wanted him hired a while back.
UofA was 0-5 this season and was slaughtered at home by rival ASU, 7-70. The Sun Devils had been winless (0-2) before crushing the Wildcats. Much like during his time as Texas A&M head coach, each season at Arizona Sumlin's teams had the same or worse record than the previous year (5-7, 4-8, 0-5).

Got the Illini +200 on the half time money line

Agreed
-
There is money involved for the game next week.
Illinois staff/players are checked out, or at least enough to be a problem
PSU likely gonna whip that ass
-
Sounds like it’s official....Lovie is out, just had a meeting

He Gawn!

These are not the words of a coach expecting to be retained ...
As for Illinois? “We saw signs today,” coach Lovie Smith said. “We’ve got a chance to finish a lot better.”
I'm guessing mercy may be shown, and we face MSU.
-
They are playing @PSU
Rod is coaching. Lovie heading back poolside to Scottsdale
-
PSU gets us, then a bowl win to keep from finishing under .500
Got it.

The Big Ten’s other weekly honors went to ... and Northwestern running back Cam Porter as freshman of the week.
