[QUOTE="Illini2010-11, post: 1966814, member: 748820"] Not sure I agree. The Illini defense looked gassed on the previous possession and gave up gashing runs, including the touchdown run. My gut tells me that the Illini were not getting the ball back if punting. The Illini still could have forced a field goal, and get the ball back with two minutes to work with. Instead a 12 yard run up the gut on 3rd and 8. That suggests a worn down defense that was so stout on the run all day. I was perfectly fine with the timeout and going on 4th. It was a calculated risk that did not work out. I simply did not like the execution from Paddock looking down his receiver. It was an easy bat down. That is where the lack of being able to be run threat hurt, along with such a depleted running back group. [/QUOTE]
