They didn't test us much more than Murray State did. Not much to take from this game, but hey, that's the first Big Ten win for a first-year Illini head coach since Lou Tepper. You gotta start somewhere.
Only saw the second half and have a couple q.
1. What happened to crouch's shoulder?
2. Did Keshawn run over coach's dog?
Did Keshawn run over coach's dog?
Can we play Rutgers again next week?
Not sure why people keep asking this. Foster and Corbin are killing it out there.

I guess if you only look at the scoreboard then yes.
Illinois 320 yards of offense
2 sacks
Rutgers 385 yards of offense
3 sacks
Timely turnovers were the biggest difference in this game. A win is a win, but a few huge takeaways saved this day. Just like about any other game I suppose though.
After 6 games we know what kind of team we are. We have enough talent to beat the bottom tier, play for a half with the middle tier, and get pounded by the top tier.
I'm not sure I would put Nebraska in the top tier. OSU, Michigan, and Wisconsin definitely.
Sorry. You've got Michigan. I'd suggest the strongest drink you can handle.
