Just watched the game and this jumped out early. It was Jackson who then got stiff armed and thrown down by the WR on his way to an easy first down. Also, for us being good against the run, the Illini sure ran over us their first couple drives of the game. In fact, their field goal drives could've both easily been touchdowns. The first one their back missed jumping his run outside to an easy TD and the second one, their best WR simply dropped the ball. Game could've been 21-14 right there. I've definitely seen some improvements on defense but let's hold back from declaring a turnaround.
