What did we learn? (The Illinois edition, sponsored by Stickum brand adhesive)

We can be re really good if we don't turn the football over, but that is the problem. We can't hold on to the ball. We never gave up though and finished. Even though it wasn't pretty, we won and that is progress.

 
They didnt give up.

We still have significant issues on ball security.

Our O-line is awful.

Our kicking game is worse than awful.

Wandale is going to be a special player. 

Ohio State is going to be a tall task given the basic things we still do poorly.

I am happy we won, but am honest in the assessment of this team. It's more a testament to how bad Illinois is.

 
I learned that SF may have chewed Martinez' a$$ out and it worked.

That the offense needs to quit holding the ball like a loaf of bread and cover it like their life depends on it in yards after contact situations and brace for medium to big hits.

That Wan'Dale Robinson is going to be a headache for defenses all year and may cause heart attacks and strokes for defensive coordinators.

I learned that these guys trusted their training and never panicked, just like their head coach!
