Illinois opens as 7-point underdogs to the Scarlet Knights who haven't been favored in a Big Ten game since 2014.
We are who we are.

!!!!!! why does Illinois suck so bad?
I literally haven't watched a minute this season, I thought we had one of the top offensive lines? (lol)

Oh, why not. I've watched Illinois football for 50 years. We are who we are, and we'll sneak in a win somewhere. Maybe.
Every facet of our game is lacking, other than the kicking game. Reminds me of when our punter was the team MVP.
Our OL was thought to be an asset because of their experience, but being 6'4" 310 lb juniors and seniors doesn't make up for being not as athletic or as physical as the people they're going up against.
It's a little frustrating when the players don't give up vs PU and give themselves a chance, then have no carry over to the next game. After which Lovie says 'we're better than what we showed so we'll make some changes. Chase Brown will get more carries'.
Which may mean he gets 5 instead of 4, but the qb still has more rushing attempts than Epstein and Ford combined.
I'll admit, I did flip channels to the Fla vs Georgia game for a few minutes. Night and day difference.
But I'll be in front of the tv for the start of the Rutgers game, watch the game, and hope for the players to get a win.

We have the worst secondary in the history of college football and our running game makes me want to puke.

Gotta applaud a Terry Masar reference!

He was a nice guy.
-
Was he MVP 70 or 71? Can't quite recall. I left the end of 71.
-
I knew him as a Guinness sipper, when I was a bartender.
My band played Nature's Table a few times circa 1990. But I don't remember him from that era. I think they were home with their kids by the time we'd be loading in.

That was 71. Blackman's first year. We had those gawd awful helmets with the stripes on the sides sometime during Blackman. But I dont know if it was his first year.

Rutgers 27 Illini 23
After the game Lovie says "we're turning the corner"

Disagree with the score, think it’ll be worse, rest is spot on

I'm more optimistic - Covid 1 - Football - 0

1) the head coach you are paying 5 million dollars a year to sits his ass on a recliner in Scottsdale all winter while his competitors are out working their assess off. No, that’s not made up.
2) the talent on the roster sucks, outside of a few guys up at the top. It’s almost like completely suck ass recruiting rankings year after year tell the story...
3) the “ let’s grab the towel boy from _____ University” transfer model actually isn’t as innovative and genius as some thought. Heck, it’s almost like working your ass off recruiting HS kids is the way to go? Go figure!
4) His staff is truly terrible. Some position coaches are as bad as you could dream of.
5) Breal31 was AOTC on Lovie Smith being a disaster.

Maybe you can give Breal your "Tempo Award" so you can accept the vaunted JudgeJudy Award?

The Duel in Piscataway has been moved to high noon Chicago Standard Time.

We should move to soccer.

Definitely watching the Masters today !
-
Me too
-
That was quick.
JudgeJudy bet on Illinois?
-
At least we made them work for their first score. lol.
-
Lemme guess. Left tackle run for 2, Juice picks up 2, qb draw or sack, punt.
-
Vaunted offensive line in action!!

Isiah Williams looks like he has to muster all the strength in his body to throw a 15 yd pass
-
He'll get killed if he keeps running the ball.
The pass to Barker looked good.
-
Time for the ol don't score too quick.
Oh well, how about an incomplete pass on 3rd down to give Rutgers the ball instead.
-
At the half. 13 carries for Juice2.

OL opened some nice holes for the Rutgers D on those 5 plays from the 1.
-
Nice to see Witherspoon get his 2nd pick of the year. The last guy to sign, late July ? 2019. Started 3 games and played ok as a true freshman.
-
Both of these programs need to fold
-
Illini in your eye!!!!!
-
This is embarrassing even if we win.
-
That said, winning is better than losing!
-
3 point upset win over Rutgers in year 5 of the Lovie Smith era.
Hang a banner.

Kudos to JudgeJudy for winning his bet that he probably didn't place!

Rose Bowl!!!!!
-
Brutal game but was nice to get a W and see the players fired up
-
Perfect point of the season to drink Kool-Aid, so with our remaining schedule I could see us beating Nebraska, Iowa at home, and the Northwestern rivalry game, which puts us at 4-4 and bowl bound!
(2-6).

It wasnt pretty, but it didnt go to OT.
192 yards for Juice2, for the qb rushing record.
31 carries for a qb ?
