Your comment is based on historical bias and not their current team. They’re the best team we’ve played this year
no, they're not

oklahoma would beat them by 50

your comment is based on recency bias & ignores their complete lack of resume to date

we are the best team they've played

Do we have Illinois home announcers today? Geeze this is “great job Illinois’s (blank)” every other statement. I’d guess it’s 80-0 right now Listing to these guys

Our Defense is always on the field l! 40 min a game! We lost the Purdue game because of lack of being able to run the football. That’s squarely on an OC for the way he calls plays and he has zero feel for managing a game clock.

We showed option twice on the last drive. One got 7 yds, the other got stuck after that for 1 yd. If we practiced it enough for Thompson to pull it and run the option like he should of, he or the rb walks in the end zone on the last drive and we are leading this game.

It’s just frustrating as hell to no emphasis on controlling a line of scrimmage.

Freeze your own kicker. It's about time someone other than Scott Frost does something stupid.

we don't have an offensive line built for that right now.. the O can only survive on the big play, so that's how it's going to be this season.
