Illini fans must have felt deja vu. Certain they'd seen this careless play at quarterback before. Fortunately, it's Saturday and they were on the other side of the football. Is there any doubt Anthony Morelli is the college Rex Grossman. Talented with a great arm, but capable of trumping his own good defense with extremely poor decision making. 3 interceptions and 1 fumble gave the Nittany Lions a lot to overcome, particularly a lousy red zone pick and carelessness on a late scramble were just plain stupid.
Take nothing away from the Fighting Illini, who are proving to be a capable contender in the Big Ten race. Arrelious Benn is every bit as good as advertised and can change a game on his own.
Illinois is 2-0 in the Big Ten.
