UCLA 22, Illinois 14 Postgame
Beat ourselves
So winnable.
A wasted defensive effort. All time bad offensive game.
Too slow of a start, but strong effort!!! I-L-L
I really like the effort. This was suchhhh a winnable game but too many mistakes

What a gutsy and solid performance. Especially the defense. Gotta have Cooper at the least, co-defensive coordinator next season. I would not mind him as full time DC.
As I said before, Hauser with a horrendous game. Some ups, but too many downs. Some of those interceptioms were avoidable, and even the safety was preventable. Maybe it was the weather, with a delicate hand, but still he looked spooked and jumpy. Hopefully he does not have the yips.

Your offense barely has 250 yards, your QB throws three picks, takes a safety, and you still had a shot to go down and tie the game at the very end against an undefeated top-5 team. This is what we hoped Bret could bring to the program. This team has guts.

People can complain all they want about Houser, but the OL was brutal tonight and the WR's didn't help too much either.
Good effort by the Illini.
Defense came to play.
Dixon got another TD to add onto his ever-growing record.
Hopefully Clement is ok. We need him to finish the season.
Beat Iowa next weekend!!!!!
Edit: and hopefully Chesney isn't long for UCLA and gets a NFL job soon.

I can’t be upset by that loss. But I’m going to have long term PTSD from the announcing.
Offense was so so bad, disappointing night but of well the season looked so bleak a month ago. Need to win atleast 1 more
Winnable game. Effort was there. Far too many mistakes made when you're trying to shock #4 in their own building.
Came close.
If we would have played better in the 1st half, we could have won this game. We got things rolling too late. Other than the terrible weather, it was a fun game to be at.
Interested to find out what Bret says about Houser either getting stepped on or poked in some extracurriculars at the end of that play.
You don't start bleeding from your nose that much without some kind of direct force applied.

MUCH better than I thought this defense would play. I eat my words happily.
This one, unfortunately, lays at the feet of the QB. Can't play like that. The mental mistakes, especially the safety.....just can't have it.
Like another poster said, Katin will remember this one for a long, long time. Unfortunate time to put a performance out there like that.
Great effort by all however!

Defense was outstanding. We tried really hard, and we played really well, just a few single plays sunk us. Just not quite a perfect enough road game to win but we were on the doorstep. A bit sad but let’s go out and win these next 2 games and play our bowl in warm weather. Really proud of this team.
This announcing job rose to Bill Walton levels in the 2002 Elite 8 game against Arizona.
UCLA will not go far in the CFP.
Have I mentioned I don't like Devin Gardner?
I really like how the defense is playing.
Offense was bad, but I think they can clean things up and find a seventh win.
I don't want to ever hear Devin Gardner on my TV, ever, again.

I’ll be honest, I think if it wasn’t a rainy slopfest we could have won that. Proud of their fight, go beat Iowa next week!!
