Where can I see post game interview

Peters and his lack of anticipation almost cost him to miss Washington. Bad D by Penn St.

I like Orlovsky overall, but he was selling a narrative on last play that was false. Washington was pretty much open from get go. Peters almost waited too long.

All that said, great job by Illini. D was tremendous, RBs and OL were great, and did just enough on offense.

We still have basketball tonight. May the gods be praised

 

[Serious Late]

We just witnessed 10 consecutive mised 2 pt conversions for the first, and maybe only (?), time ever. And I loved every second of it!

 

[IlliniReb]

We are

Illinois!

 

[TheChief4Life]

Hands-down the best defensive performance I’ve seen from an Illinois team in at least a decade. This is what I want Illinois football to be forever!

 

[Peoria Pipeline]

The best I’ve seen an Illini team play defense in a long time.

Just like his playing days Orlovsky is all over the place as a commentator. Sometimes he spot on and others I'm wondering what he is talking about.

All the media members and some Illini fans getting mad that Bielema spoke the truth, the team responded in a big way. Everyone loves to laugh at Illinois for being bad but lord forbid a coach is honest.

 

[purcy51]

Emotionally drained...but in a good way. What.a.game.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Is it too early to start on the bronze Bielema statue?

Yes. I like him, but let’s wait at least until a winning season.

 

[Pennsy]

After the strategy and effort down after down, our defensive coordinator is a God.

However, our offensive coordinator still has trouble calling plays.

 

[ugottabjoshinme]

Didn’t know what to think of the 2 pt conversion shootout format.
But that was wild. I’m a fan.

 

[WeWillWhen]

That was the best defensive game from the Illini since _____.

2007?
2001?
the 90s?!

 

[Andre2000]

Gonna miss Art, he is a better leader than BP.

The mental toughness to persevere for this win after the two called back TDs reflects very well on this team; players and coaches.

that might be a record that is never broken

[GallopingGhost]

I’m absolutely floored. Amazingly happy but floored. Great showing from the defense!

 

[Miles Leonard]

So much for Bielema losing the respect of the players
