Adventure:
with Harry. Part 1: Illinois State hosted Dayton from the Pioneer League. Well, from the opening drive…it was 31-0 at the half, 41-0 in the 3’d in a “clear the bench” type of game. No surprise.
Part 2: Illinois had a close call, rallying from 12-7 down in the half, 19-7 down in the 3’rd (75 yard drive at the start of the 3’rd), then 28-27 down with under 3 minutes to go in the 4’th, to win 30-28. Field goal was with 5 seconds to go.
Key plays: pick six to cut the deficit to 19-14 and then a key 4’th and 4 deep in their own territory. QB hit a key “out pattern for a big gain.
Still, the Illini got hammered for 400+ yards and made several key penalties; they should have lost that game.
