Game Thread Illinois 28, Ohio State 21 (final)

[THEOhioState]

Ballgame. Well, it's m*ch*g*n week. Rose Bowl would be a nice consolation prize, but still...

It would be SO ironic if a great one-loss tOSU team is spoiled by somebody other than scUM.

Perhaps what happened last year and Illinois' eight wins this year should have been a sign.

Okay, now I am upset and unhappy. My depression can officially begin.

 

[MrCodeDude]

This is just disgusting now.

 

[THEOhioState]

Well...

at least scUM lost and Notre Dame lost to a second military team.

Pathetic game, in my opinion if they would have called that fumble we'd be looking at an ohio state blowout, it will be interesting to see if espn even uses that play on the highlights, they sure didnt look back at it after the next play...And we relied on being able to move the ball when we needed to, which we did, but threw some Terrible interceptions. Pathetic finish. We took too many drives for granted in the first half and needed to start passing on first down

 

[bgantz]

damn...this hurts...the rose bowl doesn't even excite me right now. I just do'nt understand this performance...I want to give Illinois credit...but we were playing on senior day in the last game of the 'shoe this season, I expected better.

Things we learned today.

1- The Illini are incapable of committing penalties, especially holding.

2- We are incapable of making defensive adjustments. Seriously, what the fuck was that.

Terrible.

 

[POJO_Risin]

PROPS TO THE BUCKEYES FOR THIS RUN. NOBODY THOUGHT WE COULD GET THIS FAR UNDEFEATED...NOBODY...YET...HERE WE WERE.

One loss does not end a great season...

...AND THAT'S exactly what it was...

 

[utgrad73]

upset, this one hurts

 

[NFBuck]

Those long drives are inexcusable. I sure hope they've devised one hell of a plan for next week because they weren't ready this week. Congrats Illini...you were the better team.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Shit, now there's fighting going on.

Worst fucking day ever.

 

[TJnTN]

where they stomping on the 'O'?

Okay, now I am upset and unhappy. My depression can officially begin.

You have to look on the bright side of this....at least we aren't 8-3 like scUM. We can beat those losers, go to the Rose Bowl and spank Oregon, or maybe get lucky and get to spank USC.:osu:

 

[LordJeffBuck]

Ohio State didn't deserve to win.

Out-played on both sides of the ball, and out-coached.

First time since Northwestern 2004 that the Bucks lost a game that they should have won.

Wait til next year ... again.

Juice Williams with the game of his career.

 

[TJnTN]

We were dominated today on the offense and defense of line......that is what lost the game for us.
