Still haven't been tested against a good team
yes, right now, we are the best Illini defense since then.Best Illini defense since Dick Butkus?
You mean with Lovie's "Cover Who" defense?Fantastic game and a statement win. Nice to see our Defense absolutely destroy Graham Mertz after he lit us up a couple years ago. A wonderful all around effort.

I say we are at least another good win away from any shot ar a ranking.So are we a top 25 team or just get votes this week?
Jon beutjer played 20 years ago!First Illini win in Madison since 2002 when Jon Beutjer was the QB.
Largest margin of victory for the Illini in Madison since 1988 when they won 34-6 and were led by Jeff George and Keith Jones.
we'll just get some votesSo are we a top 25 team or just get votes this week?
I don't know guys, holding any team to 12 rushing yards and only allowing 39 through 5 games is not to shabby. Might depend on other team that lose todaywe'll just get some votes
we wont crack it unless ( until) we beat Iowa next week
thats the second domino to fall in the "against Bret Beliema former team" saga
