[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1657927, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/illini/watch-now-despite-utsa-loss-illinois-james-mccourt-kicked-himself-into-history/article_9d0d7dc2-c945-59d0-a427-a7d79511efc4.html[/URL] CHAMPAIGN — Although it's not the outcome Illinois wanted Saturday with a 37-30 home loss to UTSA, first-year Illini coach Bret Bielema made sure to give James McCourt his credit. The team wouldn't have even had the chance to go for a last-second, game-tying touchdown pass without its standout kicker. "One of the things that gets lost in this performance, kind of disappointed he didn't get anything (as far as) Big Ten recognition, but James McCourt kicked himself into history on Saturday," Bielema said Monday. "But as is the case, you don't hear about those through defeat." The accomplishment Bielema was referring to is McCourt drilling 52- and 53-yard field goals in the third quarter and fourth quarter, respectively, to move past former star kicker Chase McLaughlin for the most 50-yard field goals in Illinois history. ----------------------------------------- another good read [/QUOTE]
