Good god...what an ugly game. Chase looked like crap. Threw too many short balls in crowded areas, and his passes weren't sharp at all tonight. Derrick Washington is going to be a great RB for us, the kid is exciting. I'm pretty sure Maclin is fine, but even if he's a bit sore, rest him. He can sit the next 3 games for all I care, just don't rush him back. Pretty impressed with the OL tonight, all things considered. There were times they didn't look great, but I was happy with it considering there was a LT and a C making their first collegiate starts. And as Sulley said, with how far our QB lines up, they just have to be adequate. Our linebackers are awesome. I love them. I think our cornerbacks were on drugs. At least I hope that was their problem. That was easily the worst performance I've seen out of a secondary group since I've been here. They better figure it out soon, because that was inexcusably bad. On the Illinois side, Benn is a sick, sick, sick player. He's ridiculous. And Juice showed some signs of greatness out there after a somewhat shaky first quarter. And I had friends texting me after Mizzou went up 25 in the 3rd saying things like "game over!" but I was a bit hesitant on that, because like last year, I figured Illinois would fight back. Of course they did. All in all, a fun game, but it completely wiped me out. I'm glad that it's over for another year.
