I was thinking the same thing.

Meanwhile, pick-6 comin'?

 

[OHSportsFan]

Nope. Just a plain ol' missed FG.

Just noticed Illinois actually beat Western Kentucky this season. It's sad that I find that hard to believe at this point.

Beckman brought in a sports psychologist. He tried a new visualization technique to get the team to ensure no early lead gets blown. "Teach them to play through...no more let downs..."

So, the psychologist had them repeat a new mantra: "Play like you've been there before, play like you've been there before...."

And so, they did!

nice defense by the la tech offsene with two bad incompletions to force a 3 and out.

Touchdown Illinois?

B-1-G! B-1-G!

And they flub the XP.

Starting to think Illi doesn't want this to come down to a fg try for the win...

 

[Steve19]

I was thinking, "now, watch them miss the bloody extra point." Very impressive trickeration again!

 

[Palpie]

Jake, would illinois going for 2 from here on out be stupid?

assuming they manage any more tds.

 

[Steve19]

The Illini O line is very impressive too...

 

[Jake]

Trickeration!
