Zook: 'Blame me'  (Sunday, November 15, 2009)

CHAMPAIGN – The Illinois coach didn't want to hear it. No complaints about officiating calls. No whining about missed opportunities.

His team lost. Period. To Northwestern ... for the sixth time in seven years. The 21-16 victory by the Wildcats eliminated Zook's fifth team from bowl consideration.
