Has he now learned how to coach as well?
I did not watch much of the game, but just the high lights on ESPN. They were saying that the Juice convinced Zook to go for it on a crucial 4th down late in the 4th quarter.
Many times at UF in a close game late, he would get too conservative, and it usually bit him in the butt.
Maybe (hopefully), he has turned the coaching corner.

poejoe nailed it. I've watched a few Illinois games this season and in each game I thought the Illini looked like a well coached team. Juice is a very spotty QB. Almost all his passes yesterday were behind his receivers. Zook's winning with him though.

He's done a nice job this year, and has definitely improved. The man set a high bar on finding ways to blow games late when at UF....

The Illinois defense was pretty impressive yesterday. I loved that the offense kept making the 3rd down conversion on their last drive to seal the deal. All we've heard about this year was that the OSU defense was #1 in the country. Yet, when they had to make the stop, they couldn't do it.
Zook has taken a lot of heat from UF fans. I am glad to see that he has had success in his next life. Coach Tressel is a great coach, but Zook's team got the better of him yesterday. Last year, the Illini took tOSU to OT, but came up short.
Good for them to beat the Buckeyes in Ohio stadium!

...a 13-minute TOP in the 4th quarter for Illinois? Dear Lord, Tressel, did you not even put a spy (or two) on Juice on third downs at ALL?

OSC - damn I wish I could have stayed sober long enough for that game - what a strange year it has been.

Zook has done this his entire HC career. He's a good enough motivator to get his players up for the big game. It's the games he's supposed to win that he loses. That's why Florida fired him.
