Well, it looks like a pretty sparse crowd today. I think they'll be in the 20-25K range.

Let's go Cats!

Interesting thing coming into the stadium today. Media now has to enter from Gate M and have their bags checked. The asked me to put the bag on the ground and move away from it. Then they brought a German Shepherd over who sniffed my bag and then walked away. That's the method now. Lesson learned: don't bring any bacon in my bag.

Well, Illinois State got a couple first downs, but then Nate Hall and Ifeadi Odenigbo delivered some Welcome-to-the-Big-Ten TFLs. ISU punt.

Flynn Nagel is returning punts now. I'm all for it. Matthew Harris is far too valuable.

Didn't see Hall much last week, it seems he's ready to make an impact this week. Nice sack by Ifeadi. Ant also was in there.

The field sucks again. Wilson couldn't get his footing. Terrible throw by Thorson but the line has to block better.

God, our DL is so pathetic. Illinois State has all day to throw. So depressing.

Wyatt getting a lot of reps at DT. Thompson may not be 100% yet but did play.

That was s TD if the receiver didn't stop and turn around in a circle before the ball got there.

How is it we have worse OL and DLs than an FCS team?

Thorson has no pocket presence yet. Hance getting beat like a drum.

Thor looked slow scrambling. OL getting manhandled. Wtf

WOW. With this OL, can anyone look at the schedule and tell me where we will get 6 wins to get to a bowl, especially since we gave up a winnable one to WMU? The B1G D lines are not even going to give Thorson time to attempt a pass.

some people saw last season for the mirage it was. If we don't turn this around, we're going to lose soundly.

Terrible throw? That was a pretty good throw on the run with a defender breathing down his back. The receiver played that ball terribly. He stopped running and turned his back completely to the end zone. Awful fundamentals. That should have been a TD.

Our OL looks like a HS OL and our punter has returned to form. When are our position coaches going to be held accountable for the results on the field?
