Mistakes lead to Illinois loss

MADISON, Wis. – A couple of missed opportunities in the first half. A tough penalty. A shanked punt.

Illinois coach Tim Beckman said he needs his team to shrug it off when things don’t go the Illini’s way. Instead, the misfortune piled up in a 31-14 loss to Wisconsin on Saturday.

“We’ve just got to be able to respond when something doesn’t occur the way we want it to occur,” Beckman said. “Things just seem to snowball on us. We’ve got to learn to react in a positive way and keep on fighting for four quarters.”
