Too soon…Sorry, Zup, we lost that game (and you were the coach).

Of course, that was nearly a hundred years ago so memories fade.
That Tribune story on Grange's last game (a win in Columbus) is a delight to read (including the reference to OSU as, simply, "Ohio".) https://www.newspapers.com/clip/29808041/illini-downs-ohio-state-red-grange/
should have been The Ohio.
I think Illinois' offense and defense are in synch. The offense uses up large amounts of time allows defense to play less on the field. The defense shuts down the offense and doesn't allow big plays. Results in lower scoring games, especially first half. A 10 point lead by Illinois will seem insurmountable. Nebraska was very explosive against Purdue even though only having the ball for 17.5 minutes in the game. Purdue defensive is pretty weak as seen against Nebraska and Wisconsin.I had a dream last night the game was tied 63-63 in the 4th, and with 1 minute left we kicked a FG to go up 66-63. The Huskers got the ball back with one minute to go and Witherspoon got a pick 6 to seal the deal. My prediction 73-63 good guys.
This is the B1G not the Big XII.I had a dream last night the game was tied 63-63 in the 4th, and with 1 minute left we kicked a FG to go up 66-63. The Huskers got the ball back with one minute to go and Witherspoon got a pick 6 to seal the deal. My prediction 73-63 good guys.
Halloween season is an appropriate time to learn
We will expose this on Saturday. Neb’s lines are very vulnerable. We should be able to run and run at a good clip. Ball control will be our goal as in any game, but tomorrow, I can see CB go off for over 200 and McCray for near 50-100. We play like we have over the past several weeks and we will be 7-1. BB will have us focused as the players and coaches have said all week that nothing has been accomplished yet And its a 1 game at a time mentality. But you are correct, with our team, a 10 point lead will be insurmountable for this Nebraska team to come back from.
Do you know Red Grange's nickname?
Here's to an Illinois win tomorrow (no turnovers and definitely no injuries please!)
On a side note, Nebraska has some really weird goofy looking mascots that rival the creepiness of Purdue Pete lol
GO ILLINI! HAIL TO THE CHIEF!
Big mistake by Witherspoon. Should have taken a knee. See Harvey, Rocky.I had a dream last night the game was tied 63-63 in the 4th, and with 1 minute left we kicked a FG to go up 66-63. The Huskers got the ball back with one minute to go and Witherspoon got a pick 6 to seal the deal. My prediction 73-63 good guys.
Wraith is surely an older term, but it appears in such prominent items as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings (as "Ringwraiths"), written from 1937 to 1948 and more recently adapted to film (2001-03), and the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith automobile, built from 1946 through 1958.
Exception - inside the 5 yard line. Yes I know we are supposed to have our full complement of RBs for the game.
with "pru". Nebby may score 2x , maybe 2 big plays. But our rushing and red zone offense improves this week and TDV throws for 250 yards 2td's. 36-16.! I l l I N I... we rush for 210 yards 2 Td's...
