What a team.
This was just like when we were flagged for the late hit at Washington.
We were down 7-3, and the other team had the temerity to violate the red-zone. We kicked their Husky butts the rest of the way.

After a huge redemptive win, we were emotionally spent and came out flat against a sky-high opponent. That's not just me, the homer, talking. The guys on BTN, during the post-game coverage, said the same thing. They said that Wiscy played their best game of the year.
But it wasn't enough.
From the time they took the lead, there was never any danger of them scoring. Our defense would not have it. They had seen enough of yet another QB having a career day against the Buckeyes. He was going to eat some brand-new field turf and like it.
Our offense also (including the coaching staff) decided that we had fucked around long enough. We called and ran the plays that had been set up by the previous 40 minutes of football. Draws, toss sweeps, cut-backs...
Did you notice that after the TD to tie it up, Beanie didn't even slow down to celebrate? His demeanor said, "Fuck celebrating, we have work to do."
After they took the lead, we kicked their butts 28-0 the rest of the way... in a little more than a quarter of football.
But Beanie's demeanor after the tying TD was matched by Kirk Barton's demeanor in the post-game presser. He was still disgusted with the first half (+ a few minutes).
This team is not satisfied. They are still on a mission.

Illinois, step to the front of the line. Drop'em, turn your head and cough. You're next.
