CHAMPAIGN, IL—After all the chaos that was last week's loss to the Duke Blue Devils , fingers were being pointed in all directions. More specifically, the tackling – or lack thereof. But it isn't just me saying it; head coach Bret Bielema looked in the mirror and was open and honest about the issue in his post-game presser. In their last three games, the Salukis have gone off for 1,196 total offensive yards. That comes out to an average of nearly 400 total yards of offense. Yet against the Fighting Illini, they could only muster up 257. Bobby Hauck and Co had themselves a day, but they weren't the only ones making an example out of the Salukis. As if they were feeding off the energy the defense had set, Barry Lunney Jr's offensive unit came out swinging, with their first drive ending in a one-yard rushing touchdown by 5 th year running back Jordan Anderson .
