Row , Row the Illini boat
Gently down the field
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
P J wants to scream

[DeonThomas]

OK - this type of football is what I was expecting back in week 2 vs. UVA.

Make that 7 of us, and another nice touch down!!!!!

Oh but it’s going to take years for BB to rebuild the program. NO! All it’s taking is what I’ve been asking for - creative play calling.

 

[ILL_INI]

Stopped him!

They didn't need the chains for that!

 

[JimILL75]

Both lines playing well and winning the battle

 

[purcy51]

Great stop!!

To be fair, it’s not like these coaches prefer to not use creative play calling. It’s often due to personnel, limitations, and learning curve of a new offense. I’m sure some guys have proven themselves by now

 

[BWBW]

This is Amazing!

 

[dsg]

There's another hole in their row boat!

 

[superfan]

Only thing better than converting 4th and 1 is stopping the bad guys on 4th and 1.

[Oskeefan]

Ball control keeps the defense rested, this is a dream!!!

 

[TheChief4Life]

Geez… this has been a fun first half! Please, Illini Gods, don’t pull the rug from under us on this one…

 

[UCantHideYer]

If I weren’t having this much fun, I’d call it a blow out and go back to raking my leaves.

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

14-0 sounds nice here

For the start of this game or for our record next year?

Both! We look like a top-25 team right now. Throw records out the window.
