I'll bet Tressel wishes he'd just kept running Saine
October 2nd, 2010 at 12:56 PM ^
... I wish we could play tOSU next week.
TP looks like a true Freshman.
October 2nd, 2010 at 12:58 PM ^
Well, if Delaney gets his way in a few years we will be playing them in early October.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:05 PM ^
... last game baby, now and forever.
And TP just throws a pick; but since I get negged on an open thread, I'll just sign off and watch.
Go Illini!
October 2nd, 2010 at 12:56 PM ^
Did OSU practice this week? They look very rusty.
October 2nd, 2010 at 12:57 PM ^
Text Rotel Now!!!!!
October 2nd, 2010 at 12:58 PM ^
Everytime I watch Jacory Harris, inconsistetn as he is, I always say I'd rather have him than TP.
Except, of course, the day they played each other. FML. I still cant believe they couldnt cover the spread against the Bucks. Dammit!!!
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:01 PM ^
why do teams insist on running routes short of the marker...especially on 3rd and 3?
Zooked
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:02 PM ^
I can't tell if I should focus on the yakety-sax happening with Northwestern and Minny or keep watching OSU suck it up for as long as that lasts.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:03 PM ^
Well that pick thrown by Pryor certainly helps my decision. 4:40 left in the half and still tied!
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:02 PM ^
WARTS!!
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:03 PM ^
Yes! First big mistake of the game.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:03 PM ^
Ha ha ha
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:03 PM ^
Stared into the eyes of the OLB and paid the price
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:03 PM ^
Pryor really doesn't look to have progressed very much. That was an awful interception. High Schoolish
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:03 PM ^
First one of the season for Illinois, Pryor still has warts apparently...
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:03 PM ^
First interception from Pyror, who made not a great decision. go Illinois?
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:03 PM ^
Not looking good so far today.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:04 PM ^
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:04 PM ^
A little suckeye shadenfreude would go a long way today!
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:05 PM ^
Perhaps the OSU WR's should be yelling at Pryor "Let's Go" on the sidelines.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:05 PM ^
yeahhhh, did not expect this, but i like what is going on right now...GO ILLINOIS
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:05 PM ^
It's fun watching a much slower, crappier version of Denard move the ball on OSU. (Though OTOH, I don't want him to be able to do that against us.)
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:05 PM ^
Scheelhouse is not selling his fakes at all.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:06 PM ^
War Illini. Too soon?
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:06 PM ^
Do not share the same first name. Is Scott Linehan calling plays for the Illini?
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:06 PM ^
I really didn't think Illinois would move the ball this well in the first half, let alone be close enough to have a chance at another TD...oh well, another FG.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:06 PM ^
that third down play could not have been blown up much better than that
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:10 PM ^
Is this the start of karma coming back for O st for running the score up on Eastern? Loving it right now but prob won't last
<br>
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:07 PM ^
Watching Pryor, you do wonder if he'll ever figure out how to throw the ball effectively. I know it took guys like Vince Young, Troy Smith, and even Tebow a bit to figure out how to be good QBs, but for all of his skill and natural ability he just looks lost out there at times. And he's started or played significant minutes in around 25 games, so this shouldn't be new to him.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:14 PM ^
Not if he's going to shot put the ball on every throw.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:07 PM ^
Is it wrong that I would seriously consider trading Tate plus any 1 of our RBs for the Illini defense right now?
(Homer Simpson voice) uhhhhhhhhhhhh Deeeeefense
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:08 PM ^
Bad call on third down. Oh well, Illinois with the lead. I'll take it.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:08 PM ^
What is the difference between our zone read and the one that Illinois runs? Theirs appears to develop much quicker, and be more of a downhill play.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:13 PM ^
RB is over the QB and is downhill while the QB is in pistol formation. Teams could run the veer from the pistol formation.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:09 PM ^
I haven't watched a ton of Jacory Harris, but every time I do watch him, he seems to do something incredibly stupid and nothing exceptional. I don't understand his hype (btw this is in response to an easy pick by the Cover 1 safety on his last deep ball, which was about 7 yards overthrown anyway).
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:09 PM ^
How do you get an illegal formation on the kickoff?
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:09 PM ^
Jacory Harris has to be the most frustrating quarterback in the country.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:10 PM ^
god damn pryor
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:10 PM ^
He got free b/c of un called hold. Just saying...
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:10 PM ^
I'm actually not that worried about the Illini offense - Illinois would be in trouble if OSU could move the ball offensively at all. And for as good as the Illini QB looks, he's only played a coupel of games this year and it doesn't seem like OSU was really ready for him defensively. Expect that to change by the time UM see shim and they have more game tape.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:12 PM ^
I know we sometimes make fun of Denard for humming in 5-yard slants, but watching Pryor it is startling how little touch he has on passes. This is only the second time I've really watched him this year, but both times he has looked bad as a passer.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:12 PM ^
I could see Pryor's deer in headlight eyes from my couch on that play.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:12 PM ^
Pryor is not a part of your system, he's an adult, and that's why he keeps throwing himself on the ground.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:12 PM ^
Pryor certainly is a load to bring down. The key that time was just hanging on to him.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:12 PM ^
Held the ball too long. Pretty much all his good plays in this game have been on broken plays. he is not executing the offense very well.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:14 PM ^
I feel like I'm watching the 2008 Michigan defense. Great plays alternating with horrendous ones.
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:14 PM ^
What is it about illinois that just gives osu fits? We should bottle it and give it to the team
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:14 PM ^
that drive could have gone better for the Illinois defense
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:14 PM ^
Could the Illinois secondary be as bad (or worse) than ours?
