My sanctuary in the 60's at Champaign.

I am 75 years old and a proud Illinois alum ('73.) I have been watching football - grade school, high school, college and pro for about 74 years. I have never seen such a weak, passive, regrettable performance as our defensive line did today. Bad tackling and NO PASS RUSH. DL is one of our...
