The Official TBP In Game Thread: Bulls vs. Illinois Fighting Illini

[NewEnglandBull]

Putting this team/coach down after this win is bad form and gives an indication that football knowledge is very low. This game, though not perfect, shows how successful they can be. Indeed if this performance is repeated each week we will go 11-0.

This team just needs to play cleaner football. A few of our penalties were because Flowers wasn't waiting for people to get set at the snap, and those are super correctable. Well clean up some of the drops, We'll correct Sent's helmet to helmet stuff, and the line will gain continuity and stop with the false start as the gel to the new system and each other. 

 

This feels like the first few games where we put it together in 15, then we exploded on Cincinnati. If this team can start playing clean football, watch out. 

Yet we still put up 680 yards even with the sloppiness that you mentioned. Pretty amazing turnaround from the Stony Brook effort to tonight. Love that we have an easy stretch.....including Temple apparently....to start the season to get the kinks out. We may not have a really stiff test until our NINTH game of the season against Houston.

Agreed. Running the table and winning the conference is what I'm hoping for. The playoff talk is amusing, but I guess "homer" type thinking is to be expected on a team blog. BTW, the offense was actually around 680 yards, which I'll take any day no matter the opponent....

Indeed

To me this was a pretty good win for a team that has practiced 3 times in 2 weeks.

Come to Vegas Thursday. I’ll be watching our first American game at the Ale House at Town Square along with my Rams game in an homage to my time spent in Bonita Springs and the countless nights I spent at the Ale house at Gulf Coast Town Center(second only to Johnny Malloy’s) doing the “Gulf Coast Shuffle”. Drinks and USF starting 1-0 in AAC play is on me...

Wish I could, but I have 8AM classes on Friday.

Might take you up on this for UCF or one of the Saturday games, though!

MVS got 96 and Antoine got 93, why not get both of them over 100 as well?

CCS admitted in the post-game that they left Tice and DJ in to let them get 100. Why not the receivers?

I don't think CCS gets the bigger pictures.

I still don't like him, I need more proof.

Not ready to give up the #gutless moniker

Both WR's dropped passes late that would have gotten them over 100.  Strong isn't about padding stats, but these guys got chances (that said, it did seem like he wanted Tice to get 100, so that was cool).

Not sure if it was for Tice or DJ, but he said it was his intentional decision to go for it during the quickie postgame on-field interview. So if he does it for RB's why not for WR's?

Not sure I'll EVER figure this guy out...
