The dreams and visions of Ohio State have been zooked two years in a row.  Two years you ask?  Well Meyer's team was all Zook's recruits.  So two years, Ron Zook has been the brick wall that Ohio State seems to be unable to surpass.

9th time this year an unranked team has beaten a top 5 team.  First time it's happened to the number one team.  This has set a NCAA record.  People have stated all year that the Buckeyes would lose to the first decent team they play.  Will be interesting to see what happens with Mich vs OSU here soon.  

Either way, the buckeyes are prefect no more.  Their season has been tainted with a loss this evening and most likely their hopes of a championship have been depleted as well.  Illinois' first victory over a number one team since 1956.

OSU was only allowing around 60 yards rushing and Illinois was able to double it.  Is OSU overrated or is Illinois under rated?  I think you could attribute a little to both.  Zook has brought this Illinois team up and will have them contending in the Big 10 (plus one) for a while now.  Either way, Buckeyes have been ZOOKED.

Congrats Illinois on a much deserved win!
