2021 Week 5 - Charlotte @ Illinois, 10/2 12 Noon Big Ten Network

That sack was courtesy of two of our linemen just touching the guy instead of engaging him and freaking blocking him. Game over.

Probably not making a huge difference at this point…but taking the play clock to 01 on that punt, could we not have saved 20 seconds there? Our time management and use of TOs are questionable for a lot of games this season.

clt says flash back to 2011. did you expect us to be livid about being behind against a big 10 team on the road in fb?

Correction. Both sacks.

We should have been up two scores at half, I think we win if we were. Second half they imposed their physicality and we had too many mistakes. I want to be encouraged by our effort but I’ll wait till tomorrow for that. We could have got a win here but didn’t.

I expect us to win. We had this and gave it away.

DL had to make those kind of plays today…but mostly we have not

That was a man tackle from Sa’o.

Unfortunately it may be a little too late.

You know it’s coming and there is no one at the end to turn that in.

They wore us down in the 2nd half, we needed to be up more after the 1st. Against a big ten team to hang as we have I’m not all too disappointed.

It’s always frustrating when we had the game in hand in the first half, but we have to remember the same coaches that ā€œlost itā€ for us in the 2nd half put us in that position in the 1st. We just don’t have the depth against a big ten team.

Run defense is straight up piss poor

What I loathe about this defensive scheme is off tackle on 3rd and 10 has a legit shot of picking it up.

Welp, we rolled over and took it bone dry, right in the a## like the G5 bitches we are supposed to be.

So job done I guess.

Somehow, I am supposed to be satisfied by this outcome.

I don’t think we were worn down when we gave up the 80 yarder after the missed FG…just terrible execution

Take away the 80 yard run and they still ran 41 times for 212 yards.

Bottomline- we should have won that game. No other way to look at it. Missed FG to tie then an 80 yard TD. Woulda, shoulda, coulda, Go Niners! Let’s kick FIU butt. I don’t think we have ever beaten them.

They just said 330 yds rushing today for Ill. We can’t stop the run.
