[QUOTE="Illiniaaron, post: 1235058, member: 29101"] Just a few of my takes from today's game: 1. Obviously the coaches and players put in a lot of good work in the two weeks off. 2. Illinois has to be the worst fourth quarter team in the country. 3. This game really turned on two plays: the ridiculous horse collar by Smoot and the horrible spot by the officials by the goal line. 4. The benching of Vaughn is well-deserved and very "NFL" like-if you're not producing, next man up. I doubt the last couple coaches would have made that move this early in the season. 5. Thought putting Crouch in the game in the redone made no sense-the offense was clicking at that point in the game. 6. Boils down to not enough offense again. It was terrible in the second half. Lack of possession time resulted in defense getting gassed. You need to put up over twenty points to have a chance. 7. Did like the plays with Lunt rolling out. Moving the pocket helps the protection and surprised Nebraska. 8. I thought two or three wins would be tops after week 3. If improvement continues I think they should have a chance in most of the remaining games except for Wisconsin and Michigan. Michigan St. is apparently way down this season. Really need to beat Purdue and Rutgers these next two games. [/QUOTE]
