"Illinois Shocks Top-Ranked Ohio State 28-21"

Jeremy Leman celebrating...he is up against Laurenitis for the Butkus (though he started as just a walk-on). He is also the son of the pastor of the church we attended while at U of I. Isaac says "If you don't see where the football went, just follow #47."

Well, I said we wouldn't win gracefully. Here are some quotes from fightingillini.com.



"The Buckeyes had won their last 28 regular-season games and hadn't lost at all since getting routed 41-14 by Florida in the BCS title game. Zook played a big part in building those Gators, before he was fired by Florida in 2004.


The Zooker got the Buckeyes again. "



"The Illini rushed for 260 yards against an Ohio State defense that came in allowing just 65 yards on the ground per game. Rashard Mendenhall set an Illinois season record (1,402 yards) while rushing for 88 yards on 26 carries. "



"Williams, criticized at times because of his errant passing, tossed four touchdown passes. He finished 12-of-22 passing for 140 yards and carried 16 times for 70 yards. "

Congrats on an impressive win! It was hard to watch the chance for another national championship game go by the wayside. During the preseaon, all the experts said that this was a rebuilding year for the Buckeyes, so watch out for next year! :-) Go Big Ten!

Well, we have a pretty young team, too, so the Big Ten should be pretty interesting to watch!
