“Yeah, I mean, he put it in his hands. That’s two interceptions that Dylan (Raiola) has on the year that I think he’s dropped times in there on, really. He threw the one ball, the fade to (Isaiah) Neyor in the end zone that I asked why it wasn’t defensive pass interference and he said, ‘You’re not going back into him enough.’ So we tried to emphasize that in the second half and we made some plays on some deep balls. But that one down the sideline, we ran right by him, laid it out there, and I thought Dylan was superb in many, many ways tonight. At the end of the day, you know, the way I look at games like this, you’re calling plays on offense, defense and special teams, giving them a chance to go make a play. They made a lot of plays tonight, the problem is Illinois made a lot of plays. We hurt ourselves with some crucial penalties and so that was a tough play. We bounced back, scored the next drive and just needed to make one more play in the fourth quarter. I know we’ve heard that a lot right, but that’s where we are.”
