Illinois vs. Penn State Takeaways

In the end, it was a score many of us predicted.

Illinois came to play early, especially on offense. However, Penn State ran through the defense like a knife through hot butter. I mean "ran" too, as they racked up 387(!) yards just running the ball, led by Miles Sanders and his 200 yards and three touchdowns on just 22 carries. It was a tale of basically three quarters and a fourth that should be forgotten forever, burned in a trash heap, never to be seen again. Illinois has made progress, but winning is still a foreign concept to this team.
