HAWKS BEAT ILLINI

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA HAWKEYES ON THEIR WIN OVER ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, 10 TO 6!!! HOORAY!!!


Iowa's Brett Greenwood intercepted an Eddie McGee pass at the goal line with 1:12 left and the Hawkeyes upset No. 18 Illinois 10-6 on Saturday, snapping the Illini's five-game winning streak.
Jake Christensen threw for 182 yards and a touchdown and Albert Young added 99 yards rushing for the Hawkeyes (3-4, 1-3 Big Ten), who broke an eight-game losing streak in Big 10 play and knocked off a ranked opponent for the first time since 2005.

I don't know if this will turn into a second win next week against Purdue, but at least we can see that this team has the potential to win, if they can just keep it together like they did today. The score seemed like it should have been higher, but as one other Hawk fan said after the Hawks won, "A Win is a Win!"

Coach Ferentz has been taken a beating from a lot of us angry/upset fans, and the look on his face the last 40 seconds, was one of wanting to burst into tears. He kept his composure, but you could see the relief in his expression, as this game came to a close.

Good job guys! Now hold it together and work as hard this next week on beating Purdue, as you did on Illinois, and you'll do well next week!! Thanks for the win!!!
