Well, that escalated quickly. If you were in Memorial Stadium this past Saturday and closed your eyes it might have sounded something like a Tim Beckman game. Booing at the refs, booing at the team, a small student section trying to make up for the overall lack of energy in the crowd. The honeymoon is certainly over for Lovie Smith in Champaign, and Saturday's embarrassing blowout loss to Western Michigan had to be a big wakeup call for the Illlini. Give the Broncos credit too; PJ Fleck's team came to play. And that's reflected in our players of the game below.
