Picked a bad day to stop recording Illini fb games, lol.
Watched the game back again. Can’t state it enough, the defensive game plan was outstanding. Granted we match up with a team like Wisconsin better than we do a team like Nebraska but the point remains, Lovie called a fantastic game. The criticism of him to date as the defensive coordinator is fair and warranted but we also have to give him the credit when and where it’s due and today it is due.
That tackle by Devon Witherspoon turned out to be the difference. Great lesson for him as he moves forward.
I think his whole liquor cabinet is empty!Talk about a guy whose glass is completely empty. Why watch at all if you can’t enjoy a game like this, without ANY negativity? WOW.

That made me chuckle!The really good news: now BTN can add a new game to its Illini Classic football offerings.
Especially with a good Cabernet.
Adams started at cornerback today according to the telecast. Not sure what he was playing on that pick but it was a great freaking play. Finally someone showed the awareness and they doubled the TE there. Hell of a play and win today.Gotta be ecstatic for Tony Adams as well. I understand he’s young and still learning but he hasn’t played well this season and that entire safety room has been a huge Achilles heel. To see him pick that ball, you gotta be happy for the kid.
He got dominated off the snap but didn’t quit and loved the effort. Forgot about that- good observation and agree it will be a good teaching point.Watched the game back again.

Every year I question why I continue to buy season tickets.
Today. Today is why.
I want to relive the last 5 seconds of the game and the commotion on the field afterwards over and over again.
Not if they lose to Purdue, Rutgers and NW. I would love for the team to win another 3+ games, love to go bowling, but they have to back up this win.You can probably shut the coaching change thread down. That settled that.

We lose to Rutgers that thread is getting opened back up in record speed but for now, it is dead and rightfully so. Lovie is absolutely right, he needed a signature win and today he got it. Kudos to him and the rest of the staff, phenomenal game plan today.
Feed Reggie, feed Dre, get the ball out of Peters' hands quick. Repeat this ad nauseam and we can close out strong.
Our game plan should be simple. When we deviated we looked foolish. Staff deserves credit for getting back to what works.
Note: The team is called “Illini” in 1907. Keep that in mind for future team name/“mascot” discussions.
