The scoreboard has nothing to do with why our defense is trash and our offense lost any mojo in the 2nd half.

Although if we blame the scoreboard like the Cubs at the goat or whatever, destroying it could be fun.

Defensively,
1) We have lightweight linebackers on the edge who get overwhelmed easily
2) Matt Bailey is not very good at taking good angles or filling gaps from a close-uo position
3) Xavier scott has lost a little bit
4) Our linebackers are kinda sorta really, really bad at tackling

Not good

At least the Illini were only the fifth most embarrassing Big Ten team today!

I'd guess 100 million talks louder.

They spent that on the damned scoreboard

Is a golden era supposed to include home losses to a team projected to finish 10th in the ACC?
