The Illini look to rebound from a disappointing loss last week to University of Texas San Antonio when they travel to Charlottesville to take on the University of Virginia in Scott Stadium. The 10am central kickoff is way too early and arguably unconstitutional.
UVA opened at -12.5 but respect for the Fighting Bielemas has closed the line to -10.5. O/U is 55.5 points. IMO, this is a winnable game for Illinois. We'll see.
-
Sitkowski gets the start and needs a better game than last week. Epstein is out.
We'll see what we learned from the UTSA film, unless they just got burned without viewing.
Looks like tv may have decided it was us or Pitt at Tn with the 11am ET kickoff. Guess who drew the short straw. 100,000 at Neyland vs max of 60,000 at Scott stadium with 43,000 fannies showing up last week.
-
Kurt Kittner says, "we own these guys". This one is certainly winnable. I L L!
-
Rod Smith is on the Virginia staff as an analyst.
-
Got a feeling we’re going to get worked. But wouldn’t surprise me if we kept it close.
-
Serious danger zone just 3:30 in.
-
Yeah this could get ugly quickly
-
Not a good start.
-
Biiiiig yikes
-
4 pass plays of 30 yards or more. 2 tds.
-
Nebraska must be awful.
-
Our secondary is nonexistent. VA might as well be playing pitch and catch out there like in warmups.
-
Remember when the non-Kool Aid were leery of the Brett Bielma hire?
-
Our secondary is a practice squad for decent quarterbacks. We're going to have to start playing prevent defense all game to have a chance.

If it helps, I'd rather see a coach turn a program around as opposed to winning with the previous staff players and then failing with his own recruits.

How has that worked for every Illini coach since John Mackovic?

How’s that relevant to Bielema or now?

Zook built a decent program, he got fired for a year that was pretty much the same as the pinnacle of Becktard or Sleepy.
This roster was trash to start with and banged up to boot. Pretty tough to turn chicken shit into chicken salad. And we’ll be worse next year unless we hit a bonanza in the transfer market.

Because it never works at Illinois you fucking shit head idiot. Go back to sucking Jobu's cock and stop posting shit takes, fuck head.

You can always coach a scheme were shit wide receivers are not wide open every fucking play. The difference with NEB was that the QB was terrible and could not throw the ball to the open guys.

So what’s your miserable ass doing on here if you don’t like it and it never works at Illinois?
-

Pretty bold statement
-
And I love hearing the revisionist history on Zook. The recruiting was complete shit at the end because everyone knew he could not coach and he could no longer get marginal students into school. There is a reason the guy went to work at a bank after getting fired from Illinois and then came back as a ST coach for Green Bay and fucked up a playoff game.

We need speed.
-
This offensive line is so bad.
-
We need speed.
Need linemen, both sides of the ball.

Countering the idiocy of you Central Illinois fucking inbred hillbillies who find this trash acceptable.

It was obvious that Zook needed coordinators to run things, and he would have been better served as a front man.

Exactly

Those are our 2 strengths. Lol.

Who said they find it acceptable?
-
10am starts are unacceptable,
-
No problem.
The score showed up in stats before the snap.
-
Let’s fucking go!
Deuce Spann has been a pleasant surprise since switching to WR
-
TV delay is about 2-3 plays behind stats.
-
Missed FG. Good stop. Now let’s get a good drive going here and get right back into it.
-
Need to get more yards on 1st down run plays.
-
Yeah not getting much running the ball.
-
Team is a weird mix of slow yet not particularly big or physical
-
On the plus side, it could be worse. Lol.
2 missed fgs.
And neither Beth Mowin or Lisa Byington is doing the game.
-
Don't look at this.

You'd think we would feel at home playing in front of this orange and blue crowd.
Oh, wait ...

If we close out that last 2 minutes of the 1st half a little better we’d be all tied up.
Regardless, nice drive and we gotta continue that drive and get some stops. This game is still winnable.
-
46 yards rushing this drive is more than the entire 1st half.
-
Our defense just sucks and too many breakdowns. Especially in the secondary.
-
Offsides on Gay hurt
-
We desperately need turnovers because our pass rush and secondary are muy mal.
-
And a tackle at the scrimmage line turns into a 10 yd TD run.
-
Not so much in football, but in hoops, too often we would look like we thought we could score at will even when we couldnt. And we'd let the other team back in the game.
Va is scoring at will.
-
our pass rush and secondary are muy mal.
Yeah that’s a recipe for disaster.
-
504 yds offense with 386 passing.
After 3 qtrs.
Lol
-
Where is Luke Ford?!
-
Casey Washington can go back to Wake Forest and stay.
-
Need 25 and throw a 3 yard pass lol

Zook was fun. For awhile. A short while.
Any coach after him has not been fun. At all.
-
We'll that sucked vs a team picked mid-pack ACC in the preseason.

I'll never understand why Ron Zook ever tried to do anything other than be a recruiting coordinator/assistant coach role. The guy was A+ at identifying/recruiting talent and sucked at everything else. It's telling that he now works FOR Mike Locksley.
Arguably the most talented Illinois team in history went 3-9 because Zook and his team of fools were coaching. Multiple NFL receivers and a NFL RB and...shotgun draw, the quarterback runs for 2 yards.
Fuck that and fuck this. Hopefully Bielema's building an actual system that can win long-term in the B1G, but I'm not holding my breath since he didn't have to do at Wisconsin and couldn't do it at Arkansas.

I guess our turnaround isn’t quite complete.

No, you didn't. And you didn't because you have shit for brains.

I believe poop is now the term to use.
