I am not going to read into more then what is, but I was a little suprised to say the very least. Anyway, this is about Illinois... so umm yeah I predict a W in this one.

Tressel explained that a little in his post-game interview, and I know someone mentioned it on here. The explanation was that Tressel wanted to get Smith out of the game in a hurry (if you remember, he came out in the middle of a drive - not between drives), and Tressel "couldn't find Zwick." All they were going to do was hand the ball of a couple of times, so Boeckman went in.
I find it a little hard to believe. Zwick should have the feeling that "mop-up" time was coming, so he should know where to be when it's his time. And Boeckman was in for how many plays? 5-6? You'd think that by the end of the first play, Zwick would have been found and Tressel could send him in.
I'm not going to read anything into it, though, and I think that Zwick will get more playing time than Boeckman will, against Illinois.
