Rose Bowl: USC 49, Illinois 17 (final)

[utgrad73]

Now B10 linebackers are slow and we get beat in space....

herbie sounding and acting like a chameleon again

 

[bkochmc]

Mendenhall is a stud... sliced that 'SC defense like swiss cheese.

 

[jlb1705]

Mendenhall has brought this game back from the dead on his own.

 

[EidoloN]

[fourteenandoh]

[bkochmc]

[OregonBuckeye]

What a kick in the balls! They're about to make it 21-17 but instead cough it up inside the 5.

 

[OH10]

Illinois is not following the blueprint for an upset like it did in Columbus. You cannot make mistakes.

 

[buckeyebri]

nice hit by Miller one of those slow B10 linebackers...

 

[buckeyebri]

Just like the UT vs. Wisc. game stop em stop em and then give up the conversion on third...

 

[nwbuckeye]

and the handjob slowly tilts toward the Illini, anybody else notice how momentum swings also effect the commentators.

 

[fourteenandoh]

he was just doing an impression of mike 0-4 hart by fumbling on the goal line

 

[jlb1705]

You gotta have both arms on the football against USC. You'll be able to break tackles against them routinely because they always go for the strip instead of the tackle. If you protect the football you can exploit them for extra yardage, but they thrive on those takeaways against teams that don't realize what USC does on defense.

How'd a big ten player catch him???
