Illinois Football Takeaways (literally): Rutgers

Nice second half adjustments.

That was the key to yesterday's game against the Scarlet Knights. After sleepwalking through the first half of a 10-10 tie, Lovie ball came to the forefront and the defense responded with some big turnovers.

It was another win closer to bowl eligibility and a resounding one at that.

You can tell and scream and twist your hair into knots watching it sometimes, but there's no question this defense has taken on the identity of its head coach. Turnovers taken for touchdowns. Pressure with the front four.
