So Illinois will take the win, first time they've won back-to-back bowl games in history.

That will do it. Good effort from UCLA on that.

Illinois cant even line up.

Big play for UCLA, and they have one last breath.

With that final sack, Whitney Mercilus has tied the Illinois record for sacks, tying Simeon Rice.

UCLA knows theyre down 13, right?

Nevermind. Illinois offensive touchdown. But that should do it.

Illinois trying to win without recording an offensive touchdown.

Now entering the money quarter.

Illinois' defense has been stout all game, and bombing it every play is not the answer.

Long throw across the field. 10 yards forward, 30 across.

That's one way to produce a good offense.

UCLA has officially lost in basketball. Illinois is on their way to a loss at Purdue.

That is if he makes it.

Obviously you want 7, but a field goal isn't the end of the world in this game.

Cant imagine a situation where Illinois wont go for it on 4th down if they're trailing.

Illinois has made several odd coaching decisions so far this game. I don't think they're done. Expect more theatrics.

One great play and UCLA does a faux-DX "suck it",

I'd like to see Illinois get back to running the ball.

Illinois 118 yards and 3 points.

UCLA 66 yards and 7 points.

That didn't look good...but the Illini will take it. 7-3 half

Don't see losses of 15 yards very often.

UCLA had all the momentum up to that point. Let's see if Illinois can do anything here.

UCLA not fooled.

Awful, awful, awful.

5 minutes ago they go for it on their own side of the field. Here they call timeout, then rush kick team on, then fake it.

If Illinois doesn't score here I don't know when they ever will.
