This. They were not stopping the run game. Their only defense right now is forcing us into absolute must-throw situations.

I am proud of the Fight in these Illini today!

 

[GraingerDanger]

I’m getting much more enjoyment and much more anxiety than expected so that’s something

Overtime favors a good defense and power running game.

Unhappy Valley in Shambles as Illinois marches in ekes out the win in OT.

 

[thehass]

Before this game started who would have thunk this?

 

[GrayGhost77]

Win or lose, this was way better than the Wiscy game.

 

[JJE]

What an effort today. I hope these guys are rewarded for it.

Exactly, got to give them credit. A very credible effort today, on the road against a highly ranked opponent.

That’s not how it works. Let’s win the damn game then you can talk about morale victories.

Actually that's exactly how it works! A moral victory is a victory without an actual win.

A win is an actual....victory.

My point is.....a three TD dog against #7 on the road after BB comments this week...this is a W.\

Also we scored two TD's on one drive.

 

[IlliniBorn]

For the record, our Hail Mary pass play at the end of regulation was a 2-yard toss to the sideline.

Why were we throwing the ball?????

 

[SuperMetroid]

Turnover would be nice

 

[orange100]

If we win, we are ranked 6th. I don't make the rules.

 

[BWBW]

Rats

 

[superfan]

Shucks. And so the fourth and 1 convo gets more fuel

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Ugh, that was the one.

 

[superfan]

Yes!!

 

[BWBW]

Joseph!

 

[SuperMetroid]

Nice D!!!

 

[IlliniCaboose]

How about this D today! They've done everything but get a turnover

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Block this thing.

 

[LoveLovie]

What a stop!!
