Goodness, we all needed that. Bowl eligible 3 out of the last 4 years. A 10-win season is still very much possible. Won’t dwell on what could have been. Instead, gonna focus on how far we’ve come.

What was the line in this game?

 

[phats22]

handled business

 

[Mistakenj]

Still worried about lack of pass rush and Resetich and Heckel are really bad

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Who stopped the clock at one second?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

13-35.

Have to hand it to the staff and team. A much needed win for both them and fanbase! I was very worried about this one coming in, but AH had the defense ready to play despite the slow start by them to open the game . He should coach like his job is on the line every game.

Good time for a bye to feel good, rest, and get healed for the final 3 and what could be another historic season! Let's hope for some good recruiting news these next two weeks to continue to move this program forward. We need a lot of help on the O line and defense, with both sorely lacking athletes.

Did it matter that we kept them out of the end zone on that last drive? No, but...

 

[eas23]

Professional operation

 

[DERV64]

Anyone else think Tyson rooks should get more playing time?

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

Just what the doctor ordered

 

[WhereDoWeStandWithStorr?]

Where's the 7-5 predictions?

lol the quality control on sealing the Gatorade water bottles.

 

[Ryllini]

Celebrate the wins. All of them. We need bigger corners and more speed back there. We need to figure out the run game using our backs. Handle business and let's get to 9.

 

[BackThatPassUp]

I'm so happy I got to see us blitz.

 

[BZuppke]

What was the difference between last week and this week? Talent. Washington has it and Rutgers does not. Three more to go.

 

[Red77sng]

Stopped them.

13-35.

Great play by Rooks

 

[dgcrow]

Better.

Is this the first back to back bowl seasons in 10 ? 15 ? too many...

 

[punchabove33]

Nope on Tyson. but Taylor Rooks should... She can get as much playing time as she wants.
