[QUOTE="Bleedorangeandblue44, post: 1944400, member: 627714"] Bruce was excellent head to head vs. MSU, agree and enjoyed all those wins, even the 41-38 game or whatever it was. If only Bruce wasn't so lousy against Penn State and Wisconsin and almost everyone else ..... but I do think Izzo realized the ceiling with Bruce as a coach at Illinois was a lot lower than it was with Self, of would be with any coach that could combine good recruiting and good coaching, and it was in Izzo's interest for Bruce to stay at Illinois and produce .500ish Big Ten teams. At least that's the way I looked at it. I could have been wrong. I never thought anything like Izzo was telling his players to lose, can't imagine as competitive he is ever doing that. [/QUOTE]
