Hauck's defense seems to put players in a good position to make plays, but the players' execution with some exceptions is sorely lacking. Some major emphasis on proper tackling angles and especially WRAPPING UP the ball carrier once contact is made has to be a major point of emphasis if the...

Burton gambled once too often and got burned. Great pressure to force a nice heads up pick 6 play by Kante. Nice second half adjustments by the Illini to win going away in the second half, despite the multiple missed tackles.

Beerman delivers a massive hit to the six pack of their QB.

I've been trying to play hard to get this year, but Katin is forcing me to involuntarily develop a man crush on our starting QB once again, knowing it must end at the close of his only season as an Illini.

Time to unleash the Feagin and see him catch a short one in space and run for some impressive YAC.

Bailey looks like one of the few defenders we have that attended practice the day they went over consistent explosive hard hitting wrap up tackling.

I am not going to get tired of Houser to Dixon this year. Superb execution on that TD play, set up by some angry running by Laughery.

Nice wheels there Katin.

Houser with another house call on a terrible UAB miscue failing to knock that one down. Sometimes it's good to stumble into dumb luck.

Woof.

Trying to do a finesse jump cut when he needed to just explode straight ahead killed that 4th down attempt.

Bailey with a real snot bubbler tackle. Love to see that one.

B ,double E, MAN, Beerman! By subliminal suggestion, he could spike beer sales in the stands this year with that kind of TFL play.

There is a noticeable increase in the aggressiveness of our defense under Hauck this year. I love how our guys are swarming to the play and gang tackling. The first real test of course won't come until the Duke game, but the early signs are encouraging.

Houser to the house in his first series as an Illini. Would love for him to be our third great starting QB in a row, following Tommy and Luke.
