I would love to see us commit to running DD down hill. He was making hay there until we subbed out to rhamir.

Defense needs to make a stop and get the ball back. Illinois hasn’t punted yet. That’s not winning football

I thought Illinois had a good kicker. Not sure why they went for it on 4th and 8.

This first drive after the half...it is the drive to determine the game and maybe how the rest of the season looks.

I mean, our D hasn't stopped them consistently, and their RPOs had been money for their QB up to that point. Not a crazy decision IMO.

IL NIL is so bad and Bert's so fat that the only sponsor they got for their field is ozempic

This isn’t the most prolific offense we are going to see. Not sure why we seem to have taken a step back, unless people have figured out the 3-3-5 and we need to adjust.

Is it though? Pretty much every team we play, except OSU, is the same or lamer than the Illini...if NU can't put them away, at home, at night, 400th sellout, well...
USC seems ligit. Maybe IU. Both on the road.

Good lord. No special teams is going to guarantee us a losing season.
