I had a lot of fun on my unofficial visit with @IlliniMBB ! I really appreciate the guys who showed me around and loved watching practice and touring the campus!

Hot take: Limiting live tackling in practice does not prevent injuries.

However, it does limit live tackling in games.

Barry Odom, Ryan Browne, Charles Correa discuss the win at Illinois.

Final from Champaign: Purdue 24, Illinois 17

Purdue ends a 19-game losing skid.

What are your thoughts?

[Brady Pettigrew @BradyPettigreww]

Illini what we thinking??

[Orange and Blue News @IllinoisRivals]

Well, I guess that's why. Already in field goal range with a chance to ice this game.

[Orange and Blue News @IllinoisRivals]

Why is Purdue throwing?

Ethan Moczulski 54-yard field goal is good.

Purdue 16, #Illini 10. 8:15 4Q.

[Orange and Blue News @IllinoisRivals]

And I'll be damned....it's good.

And another hand off up the middle. Boos getting louder.

[Orange and Blue News @IllinoisRivals]

Illinois takes over at its own 40-yard line trailing 16-7. 10:10 4Q.

Must show a sense of urgency and go score.

Instead, hands the ball off up the middle. Heard a few boos.
