Hey Everyone!...
With Mizzou's win over the Illini last night, I think it's definitely time to get this blog started again. I watched the game on the sideline, and it was amazing to be so close in a huge football stadium with over 66,000 people watching.
Illini's quarterback Juice Williams was way better than I expected. I read earlier that he was working on his throwing game, and he proved it last night.
But I think the true story is Mizzou's runningback Derrick Washington. He's pretty much the next Tony Temple. But as he is only a sophomore, he might be even better than Temple. Anyway, he had 130 yards and two touchdowns... not too bad for a first collegiate start, huh?
And then there's Jeremy Maclin. I really think people are starting to talk about this guy more than Chase Daniel. I was in the Illini endzone when Maclin ran that kickoff return. It was unbelievable. I'll post my video so you can watch just how fast he is. He came out of nowhere!! When I noticed he was hurt in the 4th quarter, I was a little worried... but Pinkel and the other players said he's always one to jump right back in the game. So, no worries... he'll be running a few more 99 yard kickoff returns in no time.
Well get ready for the game against SEMO next week... Should be a blowout, so maybe you'll get to see a few younger guys get some major playing time.
