Illinois football drops seventh consecutive game

"We're trying to get an inch but there's no movement on the front line," Beckman said. "Come on, guys. You have to move the ball an inch. If you can't move the football, frickin' knock the crap out of people.

"Early in the football game we had a couple opportunities to take big strikes but we overthrow a wide open receiver in the middle of the field. We don't get points out of that. Things like that are the plays you have to make if you're going to be successful and our players are not making those plays right now.

"When you are scoring three points, that's not going to cut it."
