I'm not sure that we will hit that 10,000 number people on here mentioned they would like to see. But I did check online and it appears that a decent number of tickets have been sold so far compared to normal. Really hope this means we're going to have a good crowd tomorrow.
Sports Book Review has SIU at 16 1/2 point favorites.
I just watched ISU vs EIU. Not a good team. Worst ISU team I can remember in the last 10 years. ISU looked like a Dale Lennon team. Below average team speed and one or two very good players. Their QB can't throw at all. Was not impressive. Could run a little. I don't think they tried a pass longer than 20 yards. He missed the receiver by 15 yards. He reminded me of a wishbone QB. Ran on 90% of their plays. Should have run on 99%. Most were running options made to look like RPO's. Didn't fool anyone. They do have a pretty good RB. Hits the hole fast. Receivers couldn't be evaluated. Had a guy tell me their OL was pretty good. Not.
On D have one good DE. One DT is serviceable. Have a CB with bad footwork. Nick will have seen this and will exploit it.
I have a bet with someone and I gave them 11 points. I feel guilty now that I'm taking advantage of him. I'm sure I'll get over it.
I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!
Jacked for this game. I hope we bury the birds.
LFG!
Not liking how sloppy this game is so far for both teams. Illinois State can hang around.
Last week against EIU they got a punt and a field goal blocked. Now they block us.
I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!
SIU gets their punt blocked on the 5 but defense holds up and Illinois State only gets a field goal
Illinois State 3
SIU 0
13:35 2nd
Need Baker to check down. Open guys if he would get off the primary WR.
This game is frustrating as hell. ISU's QB nearly got sacked twice and then gets 3 yards.
Anytime SIU looks to gain some kind of momentum, they make a mistake. Whether it be a missed tackle, missed throw, flag, etc. Not looking good.
SIU needs points going into the half. 1:17 left in the half and ball on the 40.
Instead Baker gets picked. This just feels like a loss, gonna have to make some big halftime adjustments.
That was a gift of a PI call for ISU. The receiver fell and the official couldn’t see that there was no push. Killer penalty.
That pic was bad. Looks like 8 is struggling to see over the pocket.
That first half was just AWFUL! Do we have an offensive line? Totally dominated and making mistakes, missing tackles...if things don't change quick in the second half we are in for a total a## whipping.
