[QUOTE="Illiniaaron, post: 1495810, member: 29101"] I was in the tractor working this afternoon so I taped the game. Watched a part of the first quarter when I came in for lunch when they were down 14-3. Heard on the radio they were down 28-3 in the second. Figured they would get destroyed and we would start questioning the progress that we've seen the last several weeks. Came in this evening and saw on the bottom scroll that they had won. Watched the second half on tape. They were a complete mess for three quarters. I'm still not sure how they won. On a quarter by quarter, drive by drive, play by play basis this team can alternate from looking like a complete train wreck to looking like world beaters. I've never seen a defense that is equally capable of giving up 600 yards or forcing multiple turnovers, scoring tds, and making huge stops at the right times in the same game every week. I'm still kind of stunned. As critical as I have been about Smith it's clear his players love him and will run through a brick wall for him. This team could be 8-2 if they would have made a couple more plays against E. Michigan and Nebraska. At this point it wouldn't be a shock if they beat Iowa on the road in a couple weeks. Unbelievable. [/QUOTE]
