[QUOTE="ktal, post: 1637928, member: 745969"] Kittner has been my favorite Illini QB to watch, too. He had a strong arm but soft touch, and he never got rattled. A buddy and I went to the Purdue game in West Lafayette to cheer the Illini, and Kittner had the worst half of football I'd ever seen. Multiple interceptions. I told my friend that if I were a Boilermaker fan, I'd be feeling really nervous because Purdue only had a small lead. Sure enough, Kittner came back out in the second half and played to his normal standard, and the Illini won comfortably. Come to think of it, that might have been the last time I can remember feeling so comfortable about an Illini win in football that wasn't clouded by doubt and painful memories. (I only joined Illini nation in '95.) It sure has been a slog since. [/QUOTE]
