[QUOTE="brokensaphire, post: 1495820, member: 590240"] This team has something it hasn't had for years: Heart, Grit & Fight. Btw, it is nice to make the ESPN online headline story in a positive way for once: David M. Hale - ESPN Staff Writer: "And then there's Illinois. If there's anything approaching rock-solid proof that this, indeed, is some sort of strange alternate reality, it's the Illini. A month ago, Smith's team was 2-4, left for dead in mid-October -- or, as it's usually described in Illinois, a typical season. Then a stunner against Wisconsin, with a last-second field goal to win it, followed by victories over Purdue and Rutgers, and another shocking comeback, against Michigan State on Saturday. Illinois scored 27 fourth-quarter points to erase a 31-10 deficit, taking a 37-34 lead with 5 seconds left and becoming bowl-eligible for the first time since 2014. There's a little Ron Zook-era magic in the air in Champaign, and we can't get enough of it."
