Unbelievable Illinois postgame quote
November 28, 2009 7:06 AM
Alas, all of these numbers and common sense apparently eluded Illinois' game-planners. Frankly, because I like co-defensive coordinator Dan Disch, I hope this is a misquote from the Associated Press. From the game story:
"You go into a game trying to make them pass," Illinois defensive coordinator Dan Disch said. "That may be a mistake against them. We gave up too many big plays."
The 399 passing yards marks the most against a Ron Zook team at Illinois. It's the third-highest total against the Illini in this decade, trailing LSU's 444 yards in the 2002 Sugar Bowl and the 408 yards for San Jose State in a shocking home loss on Sept. 21, 2002.
