We did not look good but a W was huge for the mojo of the team (and student attendance). 
Let’s get the next two and see what happens but not sure where we can go with our OL.

I think the longest run of the night was the Shivers TD at the end. Zero run game but still somehow got a W

Bazelak’s run right before probably the longest. Shivers had the edge 1 time and got arm tackled and thrown backwards 2 yards. That ain’t ideal.

Bielema wishes he looked that "good" now. That's about 70 pounds ago! 

[DChoosier]

Wonder if Belima thinks he should have kicked the field goal. Those three points would have come in handy.

Great last drive. 

 

What the **** was up with the announcers? You'd think that one call was the only questionable call all game, Our kicker got planted on his first kick off the night and no fllag was thrown. Last drive of the first half there were two obvious pass interferences Illinois got away with. The game winning drive Illinois had 3 extra guys on the field and they picked up the flag. But the announcers were pushing hard that the one call was the only questionable one.

Five takeaways:

OL is still bad

Our RB is not a threat to be All Big Ten.

Thank you Cam Jones

CB is inconsistent but he can make things happen (and he did that in his first game with the receivers while being “protected” by our OL)

We are undefeated in the conference and tied for first, with Penn State, in the Big Ten East.
