While I would have liked another score, it would have been meaningless. Taking a knee showed class, unlike "what's his name" at OHOWIHATEOHIOSTATE who would have run up the score as high as he could.
 
I want to see us run up the score on someone. We haven't done it in a long time. Not to mention teams who like to run up the score rarely play down to the competition and suffer upsets.
 
The only reason I would have liked to see them score again was to put more salt on their quarterback's wound. He's a punk for saying that Nebraska fans disrespected them by chanting Go Big Red at the end.

I missed that comment about our fans, but he certainly seemed, as did most of Illinois during the game, like a punk. I remember one play where he scrambled for a short gain, didn't apparently like how he was tackled, and kinda shoved away a Nebraska defender that came over to help up the defender that tackled him, and was doing a bunch of taking after that. Numerous plays you could see him running his mouth. The entire team seemed to be trying to draw us into a personal foul with doing various crap after the play, but minor enough to not draw a flag, or at least did it when the clueless refs weren't looking. Other than the meaningless personal foul near the end, which I had no issue with, I think the team did an excellent job of not rising to their crap.
