This really isn't accurate at all and I'd be fine spinning off a discussion on it. We drove the ball all game through the air and took shots into the end zone all night, much more than Illinois did.
We had the perfect throw to Neyor in the end zone where somehow he doesn't come up with the ball and it's ruled an interception.
And then we missed a go-ahead field goal with 3:00 left in the game. So yeah, it was really close and I'd argue we played better than they did in regulation. Not by much, but I'd say we really did.
But I completely agree with you about Rutgers. Their receiver let a walk-in touchdown pass bounce off of him that would have tied it up.
