Louisiana Tech blows out Illinois in non-conference finale

"There's a long way to go, no question," Illinois coach Tim Beckman said. "If you turn the football over six times and they score it easy like they did, it's inexcusable.

"I know Illini fans feel the same as we do."

"We're just trying to stay positive," said Illini defensive end Michael Buchanan. "We're four games into the season. We've got a lot of football left to play."
