Illinois looking good. Shit, roughing the passer. Shit call. Is this Bob Griese ? He sounds like an asshole as usual. |

O.K., He is right on that. The clock in college should not be stopped to move the chains. |

I was thinking Griffin would dominate this game for Baylor, but Illinois defense is doing whatever it can, if Baylor doesn't get a good second half start, this could get ugly. |

Illinois is playing well. Mikel is a damn good back. What else can be said? They are owning Baylor. |

Not much to say about it. Pretty dominating victory, especially for the defense. It's easy to make too much out of a win against a 7-5 (4-4) Big XII team, so I'll try not to do that. What I will say is that Illinois won six games this year, including five against BCS-level competition (PSU, Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern, and Baylor) by 20 points or more. Five losses were by 11 points or less, with three by 4 points or less. That could either mean this is a team that just can't finish close games, or it's a team that is close to breaking through for a decent season next year. With the youth, I hope it's the latter, but with some good juniors likely to leave for the draft, some others will have to step up. |

Illinois played a very solid game and held onto the ball in the portions I saw. Leshoure is very good but I was just as impressed with the fullback #21. He caught the ball well and laid some nice blocks from what I could see. Not sure he is actually a FB but was definitely built like one, I'd love to see the Bears with a guy like that. QB played a conservative but nice game, a lot of potential here if a majority of the underclassmen stick around. |

Mikel is as good as gone. He's as good as any back I've seen this year with a combo of speed and power. |
