Mark Tupper, Decatur Herald & Review: Illinois coach Ron Zook had trouble explaining how his team lost a 25-7 halftime lead in a 34-32 loss to Indiana, but let's point the finger at conservative play-calling.Terry Foster, Detroit News: This is not a "Fire John L.

Those ref's at the USC game sucked! Wash. was ready to go, and then the hold up threw them off. Plus, Pete Carroll should have been pissed they held the game up so long. I didn't see Wash. call a "time out."
I know.... but they took so long, it seemed washington had called a "time out". "time out" in quotations.
