Purdue 29, Illinois 10: I’ll Take It

Related Topics: Illinois

Was that a completely relaxed 4th quarter? Did we really just put a team away with a second half shutout and two clinching touchdowns when it mattered most? Did we really break a number of streaks today?

I know it is bizarre to ask these questions, but for the first time in ages we are in November and we have some momentum. Today broke a 17-game November losing streak. 17 games. The last time we won a November game my son was in utero, and now he is on the brink of kindergarten. We also have now won more than 4 games in a season for the first time since 2012, won more than one Big Ten game in a season for the first time since 2012, and Jeff Brohm has won more Big Ten home games in one season than Darrell Hazell did in four years.
