You're right, and you've provided a nice prompt fir some appreciation of our TE! He's been phenomenal.
Why? This was a special occasion.

This team is never dull. They are not flashy, not a power team but they just make plays. That fake punt [got me, I actually thought it was hiked over the punters head too] turned the game around. I have 1 question-does Tunney have a play on 3rd down to pitch the ball wide for a yard? Can't keep running up the middle every play. On to Oregon, Just keep it respectable.

Field rush rules
1. Remember in 1998, our school rushed in the field against MTSU. We cannot diss many schools or any generation of Illini on this issue
2. Why should we care anyway. Only snobs like scUM and NU idiot alum Mike Wilbon care.

I'm replying to this so this presser shows up twice in this thread.
Seriously, listen to it/watch it.
That is a leader and program builder.
We are in such a good spot with him leading this program.

we’ve had our share of QB’s just like him
wow , it feels good having Luke taking snaps for us
I still don’t understand having a cold Leary come in to throw for 2 , even tho it worked
I mean, field rushes are just outpourings of joy by a group of likeminded people. We could all use more of that these days!
Yep, I was there! If I recall correctly, we had kids hanging from the goalposts too.
Agreed! I’m never gonna complain about too much enthusiasm for Illini football.

I think that conversion attempt was supposed to be to the RB in the flat, same play we’ve successfully run several times in similar situations. But the outside defender picked up the RB and Donovan had to look elsewhere.
Such a smooth throw under the circumstances!

Well I stuck to the ground pushing the post there
Seeing Arkin on the old timey fake punt video made me laugh wondering what the defenders would have been thinking 100 years ago with that large man rumbling down the field with the ball.
I mean it was the 100th Anniversary celebration of the opening of Memorial Stadium and it was a win against the same team they beat then, so they can only celebrate this once every…….
Not normally a what if kind of guy but 6 minutes left at Happy Valley, we're driving and in Penn State territory. Next play off sides. Play after interception. What if instead we go down, tie it up and win in OT (which we seem to do quite well)? The we beat ScUM today, making it 4 ranked teams beaten. Were we 6 minutes from being top 5 in this week's poll?
Couldn’t care less what people think of field rushes on this board or elsewhere. Keep talking - hope we have many many more. Not too long ago we couldn’t fill half the stadium, now we have people crying about field rushes. Get over yourselves.
