Illinois 38, Michigan State 37 OT Postgame

#201      
This team plays ugly. Defense dominated the Spartans the first 24 minutes then all hell broke loose. Illinois couldn't stop me [I m 80] in the 2nd half. Spartans completely dominated the field in the 2nd half. Only a stupid call by the Spartan coach allowed the Illini to get an undeserved win.
The refs couldn't get the call right on the onside kick. How can you review the play to see if the Spartan player touched the ball in or out of bounds when the kicking team was called off side. Then we got this extra view from nowhere! The Big Ten and the officiating have looked stupid with the replays. Well I look for the Illini to get a thorough !!! kicking against Oregon. Very poor roster build.
They were reviewing replay of the kick to see if the MSU player was out of bounds when he caught the ball. If he was, Illinois would have gotten their choice of the ball there plus a 5 yard penalty or take the offsides and have MSU rekick from the 30 yd line. Obviously, Illinois would have elected the first option if replay had determined the MSU player was out of bounds.
