Illini QB has a long throwing motion. Has a good arm but slow to come out of his hand. Pats the ball a lot as well. Will see when good teams come to play
That's a college QB thing in general. It's part and parcel of the option game where you're always trying to confuse the defense as to whether you're handing the ball off or keeping it or whether you're running or passing.
@@Rowgue51 Good observations by both of you. I think its way too early for the Illini to claim anything. Yes there are good signs but they are signs against a lesser opponent. Big question will be what the Michigan, Oregon and Penn defenses do because I can't see them giving Altmyer that sort of time or giving the receivers that sort of room.
@@tonywilson4713 Kanas and Missouri both put up similar stats against teams that Eastern Illinois beat last season, mind you EIU went 8-3 last year, with 90% starters back this year. Illinois almost beat Michigan on the road with a lesser team as well, should be fun at home.
@@tonywilson4713 okay and as an Illinois fan, I'm looking from the past and the improvements with this team. Illinois is notorious for struggling against lower tiered teams, but surprises against conference powerhouses. You're trying to discredit this win like Kansas and Missouri just didn't do the same. They've proven they can go toe to toe against Penn St and Michigan lol.
*sigh SADLY being from Chicago, I've not watched an ILLINI Game since Simeon Rice Played (he went to Mt. Carmel with my brother and a unknown Donovan McNabb under the great coach Lenti) but from what i seen this Was a Great Blowout. However its to be expected because of the lesser opponent. If they can pull this off against powerhouses such as Ohio State and Michigan THEN we can have the conversation of them being the best. oh and quick sn: i have been playing with them occasionally when i played College Football on my videogames (from 04-13) GO ILLINI!!!!
The Illinois offense looks a lot better with Altmyer playing as a legitimate QB and the option just being there to keep the defense honest. When him running is the primary focus on offense he pads a lot of stats for himself, but the offense looks like garbage.
Looks like both he and the staff have a bit more confidence in his arm and his receivers. It's one game, but the passing game was a slight pleasant surprise
@@adamlogan9500 they were mainly very obvious calls like offsides is why. However the first drive UIUC scored the literal only reason they didnt punt the ball was because they said a Reciever caught the ball on 3rd down when the ball was literally on the ground while the WRs hands were chest level. They got either a TD or big play off a insanely obvious and bad pick play the wr was blocking like 5 seconds before the qb threw the ball (both hands on the jersey) and my personal favorite was sometime early on multiple seconds after the whistle a UIUC blocker threw a EIU defender in the ground. Then later an eiu defender got up and pushed an UIUC player and it was an immediate flag
If u go by the premise that u won big because the other team is non competitive u are wrong. If true then teams like Bama and Ohio State should be winning their games by 150-0. But they don't because all teams are competitive. Accept the fact that u might actually have a good team. Go hogs. Pig sooiiee.
Who cares. You are gonna be. Winless in the big ten. Enjoy the cupcake. You guys are never gonna score more than 8 points in your Big 10 Schwdule. Prove me I’m not right.
What was your favorite highlight from this game?
Pat Bryant second td or Malik Elzy td
The Elzy catch for a TD
That punch for the 4th take away. Great D there.
When It Ended.
The Penn St, Michigan and Oregon stretch in October looks pretty bad but before and after is very manageable. I can see 8 wins.
i got oregon undefeated actually lol
How do you feel about the Kansas matchup this week?
Thanks for the highlights
Illinois ain't beat nobody down like this in a minute.
It’s crazy that Eastern Illinois has sent 2 starting NFL QBs in recent memory.

Need more of this effort from Illinois vs Michigan and Ohio St. PERIOD.
They're gonna beat Michigan this year.
@westside4life77 Are you a lost nitty lion? Seems like the Illini have a lot more to worry about than tOSU and Michigan.
Illini looking pretty solid...
I don't the Big10 filled with Eastern Illinois type teams. 🤔
Good start
"I-L-L"
"I-N-I"
We got WHOOPED 😭
At least their uniforms were clean ! 😎
Christmas is Finally here fellas !!!!🎄
Hard to tell against EIU but Illinois might be pretty good this year
Feagin looks good. Should have a good year

Defensive takeaways are impressive and eiu was supposed to be a decent team. Big step forward in week two. Redemption or reality?
Illinois looks a lot better than they have in a while
😂😂😂 Against Eastern Illinois 😂😂😂
@@bryanvanloo5454a shutout with such a high margin, even against EIU, is a really good sign
@@bryanvanloo5454 the "battle" of the land of Lincoln. does the winner get an axe* (for vampires)?
@@Jimmy-ko1fq you are aware of the new teams in the big 20, correct ?
@@sicfrynut yes, how does what I say have any bearing on any of that? The only new team we play is Oregon
Next week the Pepsi challenge. Ain't gonna shake up the world but they can win that one.

The referee who said that the first touchdown didn’t count is incorrect because the receiver’s 2 feet touched the end zone before going out of bounds
He wasn't controlling the football. Look at the replay.
He was bobbling the ball. No TD...
Think it’s fair to say Illinois is B1G favorites as of now, and our QB is definite Heisman candidate
Tyrell Camp
The Illini just tame the Panthers 👀
Hey last year you had twins from Canada. Oh. You got the drunk from Wisconsin. Good for you. Loooooossssser
5:55 💀
Good catch
Eastern Illinois is not competitive at all
EIU QB had almost as many completions by Illini as Altmeyer did
Col. Henry Blake played for Illinois, I think?
5:56 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How was that pass incomplete?
On the way down they say he bobbled and lost possession of the ball
Northwestern has more Tiles than you. Prove me wrong. But you won’t.
Why are you so mad little bro?
No defense, fumble, interceptions, Eastern Illinois is a joke...
Not that eiu was gonna win anyways but the refs were so badly biased to illinois
Illinois probably had twice the penalties called and half of EIUs 1st downs were because of 3rd down penalties called on illinois

EIU is such a disappointment... As an alumni... Watching EIU football is like watching a high school game.
Hey Juice beat OHIO ST. Watch the film. Stop being a joke
eiu needs to play corner isaiah houi he’s a dog
