I think we'll get the four touchdowns in the second half, unless we have defense in their with training wheels on and Illinois can hold onto the ball.

Not worried but I am disappointed in that first half performance.

Never posted during a game before and for good reason - too much emotion. Great job defensively. Hawk, Whitner, Kudla, and Pitcock especially stand out. Great job by Heacock adjusting to Illini's package. Offensively, all I can say is that we had better be able to pound the ball in the second half. The pass protection looks decent, but not much push in the run game. Let's hope that the second half performance is much better.

I'm actually surprised that these announcers aren't getting under my skin at all. I think they're doing a decent job.

Nice feature on the Skull Session (even said St. John Arena correctly :) ), and a good highlight of Teddy's block on the TD.

Tressel used the timeouts, and had everything set up for an easy score before halftime, and Teddy took his eye off the ball. It looked like he had some room, too, since Santonio was going to block the only guy that was real close.

Troy throws the deep outs and corner patterns well.

I don't think we'll regain #1 in rushing D this week, since Kansas only gave up 29 yards to Nebraska. WTF, Kansas?!?

I have the advantage of watching it at work without the volume. I can make up my own commentary.
