PSU so badly wanted us to steal this one. We said "thanks but no thanks."

Looking at the remaining schedule, 8 wins is still very much on the table.

I’m as annoyed as anyone after this one, but 8 on the table?! 10 are on the table. 7-9 would be my bet, but this is a legitimately good football team. I won’t count them out a single week.

Well, we will likely go down by a score that doesn’t indicate how good of a game it was. Rest up, dominate Purdue and lose one more game, minum … sound good?? 😎

It was a good game, but I would argue the score is less indicative of how much Penn State dominated the second half.

I honestly couldn't believe Illinois was driving to try to tie game in mid 4th quarter.

the fiasco by the Illini at the end of the 1st half was a game changer and from there it was penalties , bad play calling and unable to stop the pass rush by psu...........

We had our chances and just couldn't get over the hump.....always something happened to us at the wrong time and still we hung tough.......The fiasco that I posted above was our first miss in the red zone this season....................

I still like our chances of an 8-4 season and maybe a 9-3............cheers everyone....................

I LOVE FEAGIN with that strip sack tackle. It’s simple, in games where you are generally overmatched you have to take advantage of opportunities.

Unfortunate. We played hard, just didn't have enough and also got rattled at some bad times. Thought we'd keep this to 1 possession late and we did, just couldn't come through. But sometimes you lose to better teams. Now the important thing is we don't allow 1 loss to become 2. Rest up, get ready for Purdue and no letdown trap game
