Game Thread Illinois 0, at tOSU 30 (Sep 26, 3:30, ABC/ESPN)

[NFBuck]

I saw a late hit on Zoom after he was out of bounds ar 2:40. Call? I don't think so. I saw the swing in the actual game though on TP's run.

Playing fast and sometimes they get away with it.

Are you saying Big Ten refs lack SEC speed?

Are you saying Big Ten refs lack SEC speed?

I think so, or maybe they are just Big Ten refs tying to ref at SEC speed. The rain was in their eyes, too much mist in the air, and the lights were too bright. Yah that's it.

Zook Addresses The Media - FIGHTINGILLINI.COM // THE OFFICIAL HOME OF UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS ATHLETICS

Unfortunately, fightingillini.com doesn't post the entire thing, so any comments Zook may have had about events in the waning minutes of the game aren't in there, though he did comment on Sanni's tackle of Pryor oob.

On Supo Sanni's penalty against Ohio State:
"He's holding on for dear life. Somewhere along the line you have to understand you're out of bounds and let go. That was a penalty because they called it a penalty. He was a yard inside when he wrapped up on him and he's a guy that we stressed to all week long that you have to wrap up, you have to hold on and you have to go down with him. That's all he heard all week. I saw it on the replay. I looked at it many times and I didn't see any pushing or shoving."

On what happened after the penalty:
"I think they understand that they can't do that stuff. You can't become frustrated and have things like that happen."
