That is equivalent to dunking when no one is playing D at the end of a basketball game. Total dick move.
Well, can't say this wasn't interesting. We played well and very hard. Proud of our guys. The loss of several starters really affected our depth, but man was this showing promising for next year. Sad we lost, but we played really hard to the final minute. Great season, guys.

Too much cowbell
Speaking of Purdue, Ryan Walters getting interviewed during that shellacking... Best of luck, Ryan.
When he threw it I was thinking that was an illegal forward pass and not a lateral. Should have been dead ball.

It was fated
Young guys looked good. IW is a stud.
Looking forward to next season!

We were a year early. No one expected to be here - Devito worked out, few injuries, D was amazing. Now we need to improve at about 7 positions on offense and build some depth for next year. The big ten West will get tougher.
Successful season.
A decade ago, forget you a bowl
The program was barely breathin.

Now we stackin up wins, dating two twins

We just couldn’t stop them. Line was too big and tired our defense out.
Great effort when missing a few key components.
Not worried about defense with Henry in charge. Especially the secondary. Would love to see some depth at LB, and some impactful edge rusher(s).
Offense has work to do. DeVito is limited in stretching the field. Has no touch on any throws over 25+ yards. Eager to see what Altmeyer can do.
I think BB and staff will reload on the OL and RB positions. Hoping we have a stud WR to really stretch the field.

By the way, glad we didn't escalate that into a fistfight at the end. Losing sucks, but that is the one thing that would've really ruined the season. I'm excited for next year.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought so. Just go down on that play.
That . . . just . . . sucked.
Good year, as others have mentioned losing a bowl is better than not getting to one, on to next year.

Fun season! Bummed *how* we lost, but it happens.
At least we didn't go conservative on the last drive, and played for the win.
Go Illini!!

Just not good enough today, especially in the trenches, which is disappointing. Hoping we can keep moving the program on an upward trajectory next season. I-L-L!
OL was getting pushed around for most of the 2nd half.
Not much Lunney or TDV could do about that
