A roller coaster of emotions.
I would have been pleased as a pig in you-know-what with a full-two possessionl lead. And, then comes a blown call on a perfectly legal block which was largely inconsequential to the Dief end-around TD.
Next, Dief goes down.
Feel free to disagree with my take, but my confidence level is not on F with Madden.
Trying to forget my above, the #7 D in the you-ess-of aay, pitched another shutout, looking good at all 3 levels of D including the Scooter pick in the UCLA end zone.
As to the O, just call him Triple Digits Mizell and his 157 IH reception yards. Mizell is a great route runner, reminiscent of Newman and his fast twitch muscle gearing him up to full-speed in no more than 1-2 strides.
As to Dief, beats the hell out of me. Seemed like a ginger wheel, but what a blow that would be.
252 total yds of O to Hitschler’s henchmen yielding a spectacular only 84 yds.
Illini get the 2H kick. Hopefully UCLA is deserving of its well-deserved ownership of winning the 2H in general Apand 4Q in particular, wearing down the opposition team.
GO BRUINS!
