It's frustrating to be tied 7-7 at the half, but I feel good about the outcome. The running game is working, and that's important. Drew looked a little ragged in the 2nd quarter...missed a few throws.
Meanwhile, the D only gave up 7 points after all...against a pretty good set of Illini skill players. If we hold them to 7 again in the 2nd half, the game's in the bag.
I see us controlling the game in the second half...possibly breaking it open...though as things stand, I wouldn't want to have given the 19 points.
Mark me down as negatory on the Rojas penalty. The offensive guy practically ran into Rojas who lifted his shoulder almost reflexively. No way is that a penalty, I don't care what the NBC "expert" says.
