First five minutes of the game we controlled
They pretty much controlled the remaining 55 minutes
we really rarely seemed to be in sync on either side of the ball . it was weird .
it’s a solvable problem just weird that Toledo dictated the flow of the entire game after our opening drive
hmmm,,,,,,,I respect your opinion but I have to disagree with your total game controllable time ........When they went up 19-7 our fighting Illini then scored the next 20 points , so how did we do that with the mud hens controlling the game ??.....
Not trying to be snarky but I think we also controlled the last 2 minutes with our drive for the winning TD......That leads me to surmise it was roughly they controlled about 35 minutes and we had around 25 minutes of time.......
The first Illini drive for the TD was awesome but that was about all we got in the first half.....Then the mud hens took the 2nd half kickoff possession down for their good TD drive,,,,,,,
Anyway you slice up the time , the Illini cleaned up big time during that 20 point run on both sides of scrimmage.......
Bottom line is we won against a good Toledo team and are 1-0 heading to our 1st road game against another good team.....I believe the Illini will win but I am going to hold off on my prediction until later on in the week........
JMHO
GO ILLINI !!!!!
