Badgers dodge the bullet there
Wow. Where is mcwterps? We need an advocate for Illinois against the refs here.
1) Wisconsin has a pretty clear QB fumble, replay shows him grabbing for the ball with his 2nd hand, that isn't done when throwing. Call goes Badgers way. Could have been an Illinois fumble recovery.
2) Almost the same thing happens to the 'noise QB, but, he doesn't grab at the ball and the pass travels forward, ie seems more like a forward pass than The Wisconsin play just seconds before. Refs rule that a fumble, luckily recovered by Illini, but loss of yards, and effectively ends a drive.
3) Illinois gets a great TD called back because their Center wiffs on a block and stumble falls forward past the 3 yard barrier. I mean yes, I guess technically it's a penalty, but he touched no one, and fell on his arse. Seems more like something you laugh at in the film room, than call a TD back for.
Wisconsin is totally a better team, if Illini has any chance those close calls need to go there way. I fully expect the Badgers to come out and crush it the 2nd half.
