I'd agree with this for the most part, although the D is playing better than most expected, even against two crappy teams

I'll agree with that

I don't think you can call the D underrated when all they've played are syracuse and ball st.

I just did... ILL will be lucky to break 50 yards rushing... 150yards passing, and 3 points.

I think they'll score some points, but I think they'll give up a ton more.

 

48-10

Oh please, offense hasn't been the big problem this year

I agree, especially after Purdue is whooping and gives some backups time.

I don't know... the 2nd/3rd string defenses have only given up 7 points in just over 3 quarters of work

NIU f***ING DESTROYED BGSU, 34-17...awesome game, glad i went. Good play on Nation TV!!!!

This is the first day of the CFB season that I'm actually excited about... I wanna watch the Purdue/Illinois game then flip over and watch Iowa/Michigan -- I don't care if it's a nice day outside I'm sitting in my lounge chair watchin football

I'm off to a bar to do the same. ESPN says the Purdue/U of I game is being picked up regionally in both StL and KC, which would make me think we here in Columbia would get it... not the case. I hate being transplanted from any of my teams.

Any good sports bar should have ESPN Gameplan and you should be able to watch pretty much any semi-major game.

Yup, that's the plan. I was just looking forward to crashing on the couch here, but this will do.

Illinois fumbles on the first play Purdue recovers and Adeyemo is injured.

 

:puke

That took long... 7-0 Purdue...

Illini moving the ball.

f***ing Beutjer can't hit his man in the endzone.

 

7-3

I must admit that was much more impressive than I thought ILL would be on offence

Of course when I make a bet on Purdue with 14, the Illini look good for once.

 

I gottta stop betting against my teams.

3rd and 20 and Purdue gets a first down. If only Illinois had any defense at all, they could contend in the weak Big Ten this year.

17-13 Purdue

 

Illinois staying in this game, need another stop on defense here cause Purdue gets the ball to start the second half.

:dips***

 

2nd quarter Illinois had 55 yards passing 96 yards rushing and 13 points. You're 1/3 with over a half to go.

What a game so far, another score for Illinois.

 

24-20 Purdue now, still 2 minutes to go in the first half.

Purdue's defense is a joke. The only problem is UI's is even worse.

Illinois has missed a couple of golden opportunities to start the second half.

 

31-23 Purdue

f***ing s***! Illinois blocks a punt but Purdue recovers it and gets a first down.

Illinois will get one last chance for a miracle drive starting at their own 15 with less than a minute left.
