We brought a solid gameplan and executed.

We looked a little soft on D(normal for a Lovie defense) at times but this was a sloppy game and we looked like the only team with a focus on the field which has not been the case before.

Things are looking good.

Love the execution & better discipline today. We looked good out of the blocks. This team has played hard for a month now, it is paying off with wins finally. Quiet the "fire Lovie Smith" crowd. Way to follow up the big upset win last week. Congratulations coach Smith & his staff & the Fighting Illini football team! Hail to the orange, hail to the blue!!!!

Everyone and their dog knows the drops aided the defensive efforts today but regardless, Lovie called a phenomenal football game. You don’t chase Purdue and Lovie knew that. We did a phenomenal job of taking away space, filling up lanes and bringing players down on first contact. Great job today Lovie.
