Dreadful is our tackling.

 

[Hetuck]

They should not be able to run that well.

 

[Gizmo]

Illinois is doing way better than Texas… overall it’s probably good this is happening but doesn’t mean it feels good lol.

The big issue is we can’t get off the field. They’re doing fairly well on 1st and 2nd down but it’s been dreadful on 3rd.

They're just doing better at catching and holding onto the ball. Otherwise, this feels exactly the same on defense.

 

[DaveyBoy]

Wow. Putting on a clinic today showing how effective a dual threat QB can be

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Alford makes some plays in coverage

 

[osuvictory1]

oh yes, because giving up 7+ yards on the ground is something we want to see heading to Kinnick.

Oh I am not worried about Iowa for that, but I am worried about what comes after that.

I didn't get the memo on when Iowa got a offense, but maybe we will see something soon.

 

[BuckeyesGunn]

I'm not seeing this D gelling and getting progressively better this year. We need that, but it's just not happening.

 

[Onebuckfan]

Illinois OL handling business.

 

[RhodeIslandBuck]

Theyre not without their own mistakes but Alford and Riley gotta be the primary guys

 

[Zander42]

Much respect for how the Berts are playing today. It’s clear they’re doing everything they can to give themselves a chance. They just ain’t got enough to get there.

Bert may be a funny looking fat slob, but dude can coach. His teams always play hard.

 

[dragurd]

We played zone and a post corectly it's a miracle

 

[Hetuck]

Get a stop, D!

 

[BB73]

Did Glenn do that against Pitt when they beat them 72-0?

No it was in a 54-14 home game in 1995.

 

[buckeyebri]

Has Roker been in? I feel like we need a spark at safety

 

[Gizmo]

that that was another huge crosser, but we got there quick.
