Ohio St. of course the opponent Hall of Fame weekend.

Kittner defeated Ohio St. twice.

Distinctly recall watching both the 1999 blowout win (2 tds for Josh W!) and the 2001 victory (Bellisari 🍺) at Columbus on tv. Ohio native and Illini lb Ty Myers snagging a late int for a pick six dive into the endzone to seal the win.

Theresa Grentz? Did the DIA run out of human beings to honor?

Meanwhile John Mackovic and Mike White can't be admitted? Outrageous!

Man that pump fake was really something. Am I crazy or do QBs not really utilize it as much now?

Luke employs now and then on double move routes.

In that kittner clip, you’re seeing Ron Turner’s version of the west coast offense. The timing and the routes lent themselves to baiting dbs into jumping the route. Pump fake and go.
