Ultimate What? Stat
Tuttle had both more passing yards and a higher completion percentage than Altmyer, but I think Altmyer's QB rating and QBR was higher...

I prefer to think they're pretty good (especially on the lines) but we're better overall.
I never found any joy in thinking, woo, hoo, we beat a lousy team!

How in the hell did he get 208 yards?
I'm kinda speechless right now. This level of competence in all areas surrounding the FB program, pulling off a day like today... it's kinda surreal!
I keep welling up watching all these Twitter vids.

Agree. We rushed the field on a team that we were ranked higher than. This speaks volumes about the last two decades.

Throwing 32 times and looking not great doing it. Tons of passes that were nowhere close to the target.
A bunch of 3rd and 20 completions helps.

What a time to be an Illini, we’ve seen some highs but much more lows lately and this just feels different, feels like that gust is finally blowing in our direction and we have the people in place to capitalize. Bielema has an Underwood like opportunity at this moment, roll it in the 9-10 win realm and this fire gets burning hot.

Well, about 3 plays in a row when it didn’t matter and we were letting him have it…more or less. (1:00 left…their last drive)
Another long one he got after we course corrected for the play before(him having way too much time in the pocket)…and we sent everybody and their dog…
That was prolly about half of it…
First win over them since 2009 so I say it’s fine
Three minutes left. Not that I would have written that here at the time, but that is when I started chilling.
Unheard of in my personal Illini history.
Mea culpa @punchabove33 , you were right in the end.

1. Their TE is pretty good and could be a 1st rounder
2. They weren't exactly running an Air Coryell offense out there. Heck this is a rare game where their offense needed to be more Brian Ferentz inspired.
If today was basketball, the Illini would have beaten Michigan by FIFTY.
You're right, and you've provided a nice prompt fir some appreciation of our TE! He's been phenomenal.
Why? This was a special occasion.
