Just got back from watching the Illinois-Penn State game. Man, I'm getting too old for this. My voice is certainly gone for the time being. The Illini botching multiple third downs in the fourth that could have lead to game ending scores, then the defense that was so pourous in the first half coming through with multiple big plays to hold on for the win. The game wasn't certain until the interception with 9 seconds left on third down stopped the last drive.

So, the Illini are 4-1. Michigan comes to town next week after having problems with Northwestern. Suddenly 5-1 doesn't look too impossible. So, until later.

ILL - INI
