Oregon doesnt play to injure other players.... they just heard the narrative all offseason that we arent physically able to compete in the big10!!! So thats why they play so hard. I hope your guys arent seriously injured and i hope you guys win out!!! Best of luck and Scooo ducks!!!
Oregon was playing a lot of depth pretty early in the 3rd. Being realistic, Oregon could have hung 50 on Illinois. They were trying to keep guys healthy, stay vanilla and not show too much. I don't know why Illinini fans would give up on 10-2. Oregon is frickin loaded with twitchy athletes.
Duck fan here. You all had a good second half. A 10-2 season would be great. The game was won by the team with 5x more future NFL players. No shame in losing when that's the case.
I am an everyday listener to locked on with Spencer..... when i seen the crossover with you this week, i wanted to follow your podcast as well. You are knowledgable, very honest and blunt.... P.S. i loved your pregame speech to ypur fightong Illini!!! It showed your passion for the Illini and i have sooo much respect for that as a fan.....
I really appreciate your honesty and also you’re one of the first analysts to give credit to the ducks. For being honest I will definitely give you a follow!
so much for orig.BigTen fans repeatedly saying intellectually lazy ish like "teams from out west aren't 'physical' like [orig.] b1g teams. [narrator]: "the short, ex-pac-12 rb (5' 9" 175 out of hs) trucked the midwestern [illini] db at the 1-yard line." similar to how wash. rb j.Coleman trucked 2 diff. mich. DBs. stop w the lazy, regional-biased-based false misperceptions about out west cfb 🙄.
Good luck going 10-2!! I think you’re in the driver’s seat. Oregon’s on fire right now and we’re in buzzsaw mode. Comes along once a decade or so and is fantastic for the fans. Sco 🦆
I think Illinois is a good football team, that being said oregon keeps getting better and better every week and are on a different level compared to a lot of teams right now.
Oregon fan here. I think illinois is a good team. I believe you can finish 10-2 or 9-3 pretty easily, thats a good season to build upon moving forward! As for this game, this is the best oregon defense ive ever seen, i wouldnt read too much into it no one wants to play this team right now. The only 2 teams ive seen move on oregon are ohio state and boise. One has a heisman frontrunner & faced a different oregon team and the other is the most talented in the B1G
This was a game of Brinks Truck vs Piggy Bank. The NIL disparity was on full display. Oregon with unlimited cash to buy top HS recruits and portal players. Hopefully this new revenue sharing system levels the playing field. Congrats to Oregon, I hope they or Indiana/Penn St run the table and win a back to back NC for the B1G
I ain't mad. Potential 10-2 season losing #1 and #3 in the country. If I told any of you that at the beginning of the season you'd have taken it all day long.
Illinois would not have scored an actual touchdown if your B10 refs had called the fumble strip and recovery by Oregon, as well as the push in the back penalty against Illinois that was waived off. Sheezh
Solid, solid response👏👏 it’s seriously disgusting how osu fans, cried about refs, cried about away game, just trying to victimize 😢 your telling the truth and call it how you see it!! Sc ducks!!!!
As an Oregon State graduate and a new member of the Gies MBA program, I’ve seen the Beavers in similar situations-they always play tough games against the Ducks. From the start, it felt like Illinois was a bit tentative, despite having a great season and strong recruiting. However, both Oregon State and Illinois share that underdog mentality and grit, allowing them to compete at a high level, even against teams like the Ducks. I’m excited to be back in the same league as the Ducks, UW, and the traditional Big Ten members. I’m looking forward to seeing how we progress during my time here at U of I, and I’m thrilled to be representing that orange and now blue (OSU was black). 🏈😁
Strong recruiting? Where? Across the street at the basketball facility, yes. Football? Ha. We are like 14th out of 18. Recruiting days are over, it’s now a money game and Illinois is in the bottom third in NIL funds to buy players.
I don't think it was a bad loss. The Ducks scored 3 points in the second half. They turned the ball over on downs two or three times. It could have been 60-3 but the defense stopped them.
I don’t want to be that guy cause you guys are a respectable team and respectful fans. Oregon had 90% 2nd/3rd string defensive players in the 2nd half and offensive play calling was very conservative in the 2nd half as well. I hope you guys win out the rest of the season
Very true. Illinois spent half the third-quarter on one drive. They had some great defensive stops in the second half but Oregon also had great clock management.
I love watching post game against the ducks. Where are all you guys saying oregon isn't physical and won't hold up in the big10? All off season that's all us ducks heard, but when coach Lanning said they might need to adjust to us and everyone said ya right, we'll see you in the big10...lol
Ducks are amazing but let’s not forget 3/4ths of the west coast teams are all struggling. Oregon has a well built roster with that NIL $$, but the thinking wasn’t that far off.
Keep buying players you mean? Oregon is probably atop the B1G and top 5-8 in the country in NIL funds. Hopefully the new revenue sharing levels the playing field. Todays game was Brinks Truck vs Piggy Bank, the NIL disparity was on full display.
There is no asterisks that comes with a win. Either you have a higher score than another team or you don’t. Theres no such thing as quality win in CFB. That’s subjective.
@@LockedOnIllini You were. I saw the crossover with Spencer and you were very clear and practical. There is always a chance for an upset but you voiced that that was pretty far fetched. I get it and respect your reasonableness. Enjoyed your podcast and hope the injured players heal quickly.
another general data point from bigTen-wide conference matchups this weekend? the assertion by fans of the 4 new (western-based) bigTen teams: that orig.BigTen pass defenses aren't great was reaffirmed as LBs & DBs for both illinois & rutgers were punked. examples: missed assignment (eg, illini lb, #4, on tezJ. crosser), or gave up inside leverage (illini cbBrooks on td pass down the middle) or were run over (#10, sittou[?]) by the 'soft', ex-pac12 rb whittington at the illini 1-yard line - 😂.
I do think USC and UW are going to be very competitive in the B1G. USC is figuring out that they need to put together a defense that competes at a different level than what they had in the PAC 12. Washington played in the natty and got exposed by Michigan defensively. They will figure it out. Offense was everything in the PAC 12 with the exception of Utah who always brought it defensively. The PAC 12 was a track meet. Who could outscore each other and make a timely stop. The B1G is different and if you're going to compete for B1G championships you better compete defensively. Oregon had a bit of a head start with Lanning and Cristobal beefing up the trenches and mix it with speed. I think Washington and USC will be fine, but it might take a year or two. UCLA is a different story all together. Too many issues with that program to get into here.
I doubt Oregon is definitively better than Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Ohio State. In their same league this year? Yes. For sure Finally. But if I had to pick one team to win it all, it would be Georgia. ScoDucks!!
Clearly Oregon is better, unlimited cash resources from Nike tend to give you a huge advantage at acquiring talent at every position. Idk why you are puffing your chest, this was a NIL disparity game on full display. Hopefully the revenue sharing format will level the playing field and adds parity to the league instead of having 3-4 top teams and then everyone else.
@@dennisgriffin6742 No chest puffing here. that said, so many teams have plenty of NIL $ compared to Oregon. By talking about "NIL disparity" you are basically negating (at least it seems so) how well-coached the players are, that it's the $$ on the field, and that the players aren't any good. NIL may play a part in recruiting players, but those players don't all play at an elite level without woking on improvement every week, and coaching must be sound. If players don't "buy in" or work hard, all the NIL in the world won't help. We have high school recruits who are working hard to improve, as well. Even with so-called "NIL disparity" look at our 2 games of the season. No one bought their way out of those hard fought/terrible games!! Like all teams, we have also had elite players in past seasons before there was ever NIL. Before you speak, think about using a spirit of a sound mind. I get your POV but disagree
@@LockedOnIllini You were great. Don't worry about blowhards. It seem s alot of people commenting are not Illini fans--myself included, but I hope I'm reasonable and not out just to insult others who don't deserve it. I saw your crossover with Spencer and enjoyed it, so thought I'd give you a listen. There are loose cannons on every show. Sorry.

Agreed. I think the play was targeting but I don’t think it was intentional at all. Just bad timing.
@@LockedOnIllini Tough loss but that was not targeting. Bryant got swung around and it was his helmet that initiated the contact
Go ducks and that hit was legal.
Oregon was playing a lot of depth pretty early in the 3rd. Being realistic, Oregon could have hung 50 on Illinois. They were trying to keep guys healthy, stay vanilla and not show too much.
I don't know why Illinini fans would give up on 10-2. Oregon is frickin loaded with twitchy athletes.
This is a very fickle bunch lol. Super passionate, but I wouldn’t say we’re very reasonable hah.

Hope your players are not hurt, and if they are I hope they recover well. Illinois has a bright future.
Appreciate you!

Thanks for stopping by Raymond, and yes, I wouldn’t be shocked if you all raise the trophy this year !

Ok
True. They also missed an obvious face mask penalty against Oregon. Evens out
Burn the tape
Tomorrow is a new day.
Beat Minnesota.
On to the next!! I-L-L BABY!!!!!!
Autzen affects are real for opposing teams. Underrated by country. 1 of hardest places to play in country.

We also had our fourth string running back in in the fourth quarter
Very true. Illinois spent half the third-quarter on one drive. They had some great defensive stops in the second half but Oregon also had great clock management.
@T_Hawk86 I agree with you, the ducks put the brakes on 2nd half.
We took our foot off the gas bro we could’ve scored 50 if we wanted to
I attended the sugar bowl against LSU. Similar Speed kills , and depth
Coaching was no where to be found for illini.
nah illinois is still solid
Weak few weeks--no rusher, target head receiver--total play
Ducks were not trying to hurt people. I know Dan is not that guy, its just the more physical team wares on teams and players tend to get hurt!
Yeah I do think that was targeting but I don’t think anything was intentional there.

Well deserved too.
He meant Post-Mortem game show.
Whether it’s celebratory or a therapy session, I’ll always be on after the game. 🤷🏽♂️
Keep recruiting the Big Dogs, Oregon.
You saw the difference on that field today.
Keep buying players you mean? Oregon is probably atop the B1G and top 5-8 in the country in NIL funds. Hopefully the new revenue sharing levels the playing field. Todays game was Brinks Truck vs Piggy Bank, the NIL disparity was on full display.
A win is not a win lol
Quality wins
There is no asterisks that comes with a win. Either you have a higher score than another team or you don’t. Theres no such thing as quality win in CFB. That’s subjective.
We only won Ohio by 1 point. By your logic, @stephenphillips4576, that isn't a "quality" win. A win IS a win dude.
After the game against Purdue you still thought Illinois had a chance to play in the big 10 championship?!🤨
I thought it was clear I was just tongue in cheek with that intro 😂

ouch
Indeed.
not hating: i picked illini to lose by 1 or 2 points vs. oregon. now? maybe wisky, not illinois, is that top team in that 18-team b1g tier-3 cluster.
Maybe. But Wisconsin lost at home to Penn state today so their momentum might have been halted as well.
It will be Indiana. Good luck with the game with the hoosiers. Just my opinion, I don't think ohio will beat them.
Clearly Oregon is better, unlimited cash resources from Nike tend to give you a huge advantage at acquiring talent at every position.
