Maybe I should wear leather on the neck more often?
Well, after the cluster of week one this was more like a true football Saturday…and a big win over a team the Illini were supposed to blow out. I saw improvement in the deficient areas from week one (pre-snap penalties, third down conversions, and dropped balls), and it goes without saying that the defense was stout. Hang on to the ball a bit better, and you’ve got a real shot in week three…which to me will be the first real game of the season from a competitive standpoint.
