This game is HUUUUUUGE for recruiting! Nationally televised game in a top 25 matchup when nobody else was playing. Well, except HS kids across the country...

Signature win for Bret Bielema. Bigger than the one in Happy Valley. This team is legitimate.

Bring me the tears of the Husker board.
You don't think first and goal would have mattered?
and the funny thing is, it shouldn't have even been that close. we outplayed them and were the better, more disciplined team. loved the game; great game plans for both Henry and Lunney.
this is huge for the program, especially after last year. and with 0 expectations of success. I love it

Coach B is putting the fight back in Fighting Illini. Tough, smart, dependable. I love the way he has put this staff together, brought in players that buy into his coaching, and turned the boys lose to fly around, make plays, and have fun. I could not be more proud of this Illini team.

@illini0440 Was this a different package of RPOs we hadn’t shown yet or the same ones but we executed properly?
Nah. 2nd half, yes.
Cable’s out.
Coach Henry had made me a believer.
And I never thought I’d say this, but bring back the slant ILLINOIS full time.

Nah, we got bailed out a few times in the first, too. The missed face mask was a problem, but we got ours in the first too
