[QUOTE="lexwaldez, post: 1495789, member: 9817"] Late post but had to wait for hands to stop shaking in order to type. Too much coffee or was it the game? These kids continue to fight. How long have we been asking for half time adjustments and a team that still has gas in the tank in the 4th quarter? We all wanted wins, but remember those teams that were so young, with so little depth that we just couldn't compete at the end of the game and opponents would pull away? Hats off, once again, to a staff that didn't lose kids after a tough losing streak (and that after three years of tough football). You can't be rewarded with those amazing comebacks if you quit and these kids just don't quit. We still make head scratching mistakes from time to time but they don't let it get them down. I think Lovie said something to the effect that you're never as good as your best headlines would have you believe and you can't let the lows get you down either. Team is really a case study in perseverance in the face of adversity. These kids just keep grinding. Illini fans have to learn to stick with these kids for all four quarters. [/QUOTE]
