The Ron Zook quest to destroy the hopes and dreams of everyone who has ever crossed him continues this week as he drops Minnesota to 5-5 and makes the bowl eligibility of Tim Brewster and Minnesota slightly less likely. There will be a more complete recap tomorrow but here are a few quick reactions from today's game.
- Two weeks in a row that Terry Hawthorne has proved himself to be by far the best defensive back on the team. He is fast, makes great tackles and even had a pick 6 today. As much as I love the idea of him as a receiver, the reality of him as a DB is pretty amazing.
- Two weeks in a row with out any interceptions, by either QB Charest or Juice, it clearly makes a huge difference in games.
- Two weeks in a row with a punt blocked, this time it almost cost us the game, please lets get this fixed.
- Most importantly though two weeks in a row with a win, and the Illini era of good feelings continues for another week.
Oh yeah, and its been a while since I put this video up.

I do not like the punt formation that Zook uses.
Having those 3 blockers right in front of the punter is a recipe for disaster, IMO. They’re too close to the punter; if they get pushed back even a yard or two, the punter has no room.

You would think with the ample opportunities
Zook would have the punt formation down to a science by now…
