[QUOTE="Illini2010-11, post: 1819750, member: 748820"] I really wish people would stop overly criticizing that Illini drive. Every person would be up in arms if we threw 3 incomplete passes into the wind (or threw an interception). It wasn't like they initially drew up three runs up the middle. They were going to throw the ball on 3rd down and DeVito nearly scrambled for a first down. Instead a holding was called. Nobody is throwing the ball at 3rd and 20 into the wind. If the Illini ran these "pick" plays, there is no doubt it would have been called. We have the best RB in the conference, you try to get him to bust a first down (he had a lot of success in 2nd half). Could we have run a play action on first or second down, sure; however, I am not going to lose sleep over the play calling. Ultimately, untimely penalties hurt the team, and of course a missed call on 4th down on the Michigan drive. [/QUOTE]
