NW'ern +8.5 at Illinois (ov/un 50.5) Sat noon ET, ESPN2

[BB73]

It might not be as much fun as last year's game at Wrigley Field, but at least a player can take a full step past the end zone without running into a brick wall.

Officiating seems to be getting worse as Illinois has a TD taken off the board for a very weak offensive PI call.

14-10 NU halftime

 

[Drubuck]

That was a terrible call on an amazing catch. Illi showing some life but Persa (spelling?) looks like a stud. Like that kid.

 

[Bucknut24]

bah, come on NW, i picked them to win

 

[cjmik_75]

Jenkins for the Illini looks like a player.

 

[Bucky32]

Both of these teams will be tough outs this year IMO.

 

[Drubuck]

Illi comes out of nowhere. Good game to watch.

 

[Zander42]

Fumble!!!!

 

[Nicknam4]

Does anyone hate that woman commentator?

Most annoying voice on television...

 

[Bucknut24]

WOOOOO TD

 

[Buckeye doc]

what just happened? How did NW get the ball back? I flipped away thinking it was pretty much over.

p.s. Bitch is annoying me too

 

[Drubuck]

She is awful. Illi driving. Crazy game.

WOW PI in the endzone. Not catchable? What is he talking about?

 

[Zander42]

After NW turned over on downs, UI fumbled on 1st and 10. NW drove and scored a great, drag bodies with you, touchdown.

If you tackle the receiver it's not catchable.
