What has Purdue done that’s so impressive? I think they’re very beatable.Purdue is going to shellack us. We won't be able to stop them and don't have a high-powered enough O to outscore them
Is it a stretch to say this Saturday's game is the most important in the Lovie era? The implications of a loss are far greater than the implications of any other loss over the past two season IMO.
100% this.I just really hope we win because we all know the media is chomping at the bit to call the Lovie era a failure. I’d rather not have to listen to that BS.
Media wise you are right. But, there are so many winnable games on the schedule. Losing this game doesn’t mean they’ll go winless in the B1G again. Every game is unique.
At the end of the year it will be the whole season that’s evaluated, not individual games. I don’t think finishing the B1G with 1 win instead of 0 is going to make us feel that much more optimistic.

Completely agree. Especially since I just made a wager with a jackass co-worker that Illinois would win 3 more games this yearAgreed. If we can win Saturday and against Purdue I'm very curious to see how our guys play with that level of confidence and (hopeful) fan support.
And that was with our Frosh QB...If we can put up 3 less points on Penn State that Ohio State could put up, we should be able to put up 48 points on Rutgers.
ILL 48 Rutgers 17
Line as high as Illinois -6 now. Ton of money coming in on Illinois
I actually like the all whites vs what will most likely be all blacks. My dog will finally be able to tell which team is which!Enough with the stormtrooper look

Only thing that makes this close is our Bye Week and AJ rust.
have to imagine that if AJ starts, he's on a short leash.Am I the only one who thinks Rivers looked better against USF/PSU than Bush looked against KSU/WIU?
I'll guess Illinois -6
Illinois -1.5 is the opening line. Vegas must not think as highly of the Illini as some of us (shocker there)
