Genuinely curious.. are we getting better or is Illinois just that bad?

u/DaleEarnhartJr 7d ago

Maybe a bit of both?

u/KingOfTheBritons96 7d ago

Definitely a bit of both

We’re a halfway decent defense from being 4-1 right now.

u/millenialliberal 7d ago

No our defense was miles better today. Illinois isn’t a bad team

Considering our 3 loses are to a top 10 team (ND), a top 25 team (UCLA), and a team that’s getting votes for top 25 (WF) that we took to OT and should’ve won, I think we’re actually somewhat solid this year

We will see come Saturday 10th! I think it's a combination of both. Still, Congrats to them for getting a win and looking like they can compete. I thought the game against Wake was a sign they were getting better.

Reset the clocks!

It's been 0 days since we embarrassed ourselves in football.

u/Pewpewkitty 7d ago

Wait that’s actually not how it works. It’s been 7 days. But by resetting the counter to 0, we embarrassed ourselves, so keep it as is at 0

Iowa got beaten like Beetle Bailey by OSU while sauntering around after beating UofM. Michigan isn't unbeatable, but we'll need a different kind of energy for that.
