Illinois vs Nebraska

[ryoder1]

Great game. Now tied at 24 in 4th quarter. Illini got game. QB looks good, RBs look good, they have a power run game. Our D-Line better be ready.

Has a Big Ten team ever had a coach weigh as much as his team’s offensive line?

Illinois wins in OT.

Their OC called a great game. They are good and will be top 20 when we play them. They have good RBs who run downhill. Solid defense. We better be ready to play.

He is rotund, no doubt.

Illinois certainly helps out our strength of schedule.

It’ll be a big challenge for the PSU O line to protect the QB and get some run game going. Allar will need to be on top of his game and have some quick release options for when protection fails.

It seemed like the Illinois D backs stayed close with receivers but still far enough off at times that an accurate pass game could beat them and extend drives.

The D needs to get pressure and watch for the down and out patterns by tight ends toward the goal lines. The Illinois wide receivers were wide open on those plays tonight.

LOL at Nebraska.

Wazzu with a bit of a let down after last weeks Apple Cup win. WSU 24, San Jose St 17 at the half.

Shouldn't make fun of another's physique.....may come back to haunt in the future..
The Big Guy has been around the horn for a few decades, with the knowledge gained, he may definitely be a secondary player in determining our playoff position.

Was Maryland in the BIG when Friedgen was coaching. —Might be close

Just gussing,
NO

Illinois always seems to have some good D lineman and is able to run the ball.

Nebraska just can’t get over the hump. OT series on offense was painful to watch.

Those are the things that worry me about PSU.

On offense we don't seem to have many quick release passes. They're more the standard drop back variety. On defense we constantly blitz a LB or DB. Even our DEs are more focused on getting to the QB that they are about sealing the edge. That makes us susceptible to an opponent's quick release passing game.

Week 1 the DEs did a great job sealing the edge and most were complaining they didn't get to the QB. We clearly weren't ready for BGSU's quick pass scheme and adapted in the second half.

Both defenses particularly LB and DB look weak. Good for us but Nebraska was probably a little over rated.

Is he allowed to ride in the back of the plane?
