OT: USF vs ILLINOIS

[Ish88888]

Interesting game for a few reasons:

1. USF continues to kill it in recruiting based on school location alone.
2. Flowers is a stud at qb with wheels and a hose. Has had a great career. Will be interesting to see where he rates as a prospect.
3. Love the ILLINOIS unis. Simple use of school colors. Big block letters, helmuts look sharp. Their orange used to be our Orange. Brighter. Some how nike has burnt our orange over the years. Yes, i know, i know...unis, but ILLINOIS looks sharp.

We tried incredibly hard to flip that running back Epstein who just had that long TD run.

4. They run our offense (OC is a Briles guy), but have better offensive skill players and OL.

Flowers is not a pro prospect imo

Illinois unis don't help on the scoreboard

I've got 2 nieces at U of I. Needless to say, we've got the color orange covered.

That first quarter was one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. 14 penalties, 2 blocked kicks, 2 interceptions, and one of USFs best defensive players getting kicked out for targeting for the 2nd time in 3 games.

Also Illinois is terrible. How bad are the Big 10 bottom feeders?

But they beat Rutgers last year. Although I'm not sure they can this year. They play more freshmen than any team in the country.

We're ripping on USF?! They would slaughter us!

They did the last two years, and yes they would again. Illinois is pretty brutal however. My two closest neighbors are Illinois and Kansas grads. Toss this SU alum in and we have a pretty sad football troika

Yup, I'm aware re: USF. Nice use of "troika!"

I think ILLINOIS is tbe bottom. I believe purdue is better this year.

Rutgers is the bottom bottom.

C'mon ... We can't have an opinion on other teams until we're good?

Also, yes they'd beat us.
