Playcalling looked like it was done on a hangover today. Illinois proved the best way to win a football game is to run your opponent into the ground.
In the Illinois FG try in overtime, why was a TO not called by Franklin to make their kicker think about a 40 yd FG try? Bilema had the intelligence to call one on ours.
I would have been embarresed if we had somehow found a way to pull this game out. This is a prime example of putting lipstick on a pig and calling it beautiful. On the other hand, when a team rushes for almost 400 yards and still needs 9 overtimes to win, that doesn't say much either. When Franklin is offered the USC job and if he accepts, I hope someone in the PSU hierarchy has the brains to offer the job to Pry. I won't hold my breath though.
