How pathetic

[mcity]

was Illinois tonight!! I can't believe that major college coaches get paid the large sums of money they do to put a product on the field like I saw out of the illini tonight. If I was the Illinois AD, I would have Ron Turners a$$ in my office first thing tomorrow morning to discuss why he insisted on running the ball straight up the gut on 1st down, up the gut on 2nd down, leaving his QB's who aren't real good anyway in 3rd and long positions all night? I can't remember the last time I saw a more pathetic effort all of the way through the ranks....players and coaches alike. The Illini effort tonight was a lesson in total lack of intensity on both sides of the ball, imagination on offense, desire and passion from the players and coaches.....heartless!!!! Ok, feeling better now... good luck to all this weekend.

mcity,

Pretty good assessment. This team lacks leadership and HC Turner didn't appear to be too concerned. Some may think this team has already mailed it in.

I was wondering why so many people liked Illinois tonight. If youre a big ten team and you lose at home to San Jose St as 23.5 favs then thats a big red flag for me.

Or down 3TD's with 12 minutes to go he punts on a 4th and 5 from midfield...or how he doesn't go to a no-huddle offense until a couple of minutes left in the game.
