Following the Illini’s comeback victory against the Golden Flashes of Kent State, we take a look back to analyze the key points moving forward.
A.J. A-OK
After a sluggish start, in concert with his teammates, coaches, and Memorial Stadium onlookers, A.J. Bush solidified his grip on the starting quarterback job with a positive second-half effort. Bush looked crisp in the passing game after the break, hooking up with Ricky Smalling and Mike Dudek on rare, but crucial downfield shots to keep drives alive and pick up necessary yardage chunks, on the Illini’s way to 28 second-half points.
