Late hit would have sucked, but at the end of the day it was a light hit and inconsequential to the play. That face mask was killer. I think we are square with the refs here

Josh McRay makes ESPN top 10 plays
I think the ILLINOIS was straight and NOT slanted..
And so does Cox!
Lost the TO battle, still found a way to win.. this team is not a fluke
Frankly, I thought the Nebraska defense looked really gassed in the 4th and the OT...

100% that was supposed to be the story along with their QB being ordained as the next Mahomes. So awesome that we blew it all to hell
Nebby was gassed

HUGE win!!
Really good playcalling by Lunney all game. Major improvement there. Defense stood strong. Line on both sides was dominant.
I wanted to beat them so bad after the announcers wouldn’t shut up about Raiola all game long. So glad we made him look like a total chump on that last series

I like when we win.
Rather have it for Michigan game. When was last time Illini hosted Game Day?
If you are thinking of coming to a game, you might want to get tickets this week. I'm guessing Purdue and Michigan may sell out by October 1.
It's really tough to win against a good team in a hostile environment like that. This was a very well played game overall. We did have a few critical turnovers that could have been costly, but luckily Nebraska shot themselves in the foot multiple times with silly penalties to help offset our mistakes.

15 yard penalty, field goal at worst.
I am a basketball diehard & casual Illini football fan. This got me pretty worked up. Just a fantastic game. I was screaming for a pass rush all game & we got it when it mattered the most.
BB is slowly making a believer out of me. I assume there is still room in the bandwagon.

Nebraska had a TON of bad penalties tonight.
Isn't that the suit Two Face wore in the Batman movies?
