Can you imagine what Mangino would have said in those circumstances?
Would have loved to have seen it. Something would have been broken

I think the block in the back call to take away the td was actually the worst. Barely any contact at all. I really don't understand how someone could be that incompetent. But the calls that came after it... yeah, shit it's fishy

That one changed the game because it took away a TD. It came after first down yardage too, so it was wrongly enforced. After that point, there was a concerted effort to keep Illini in the game. Incidentally, rewatch some of the targeting KU receivers sustained. Wilson was rocked as he made that superb one-handed catch, for example. Arnold a couple of times. The sit out the next game half stuff can be really abused.

What is a "defenseless player" anyway? Seems kind of subjective. Don't touch him, he's defenseless! Defenseless players have no business being on a football field. It's football! You're gonna take shots and you don't always see it coming.
