Our defense is so much fun to watch
As Hallow's Eve approaches and the great gate again swings open its ancient body to set into motion the annual mass migration of souls and spirits from that turbulent world beyond our own where light cannot survive...
Let us declare that, among all the supernatural beings that shall again rise this weekend to wander the earth and corrupt humankind, we shall witness no resurrection as prolific or powerful as that of the Fighting Illini football program. A body left dead and dormant and devoid of a soul for so many seasons, animated once again by forces both unbelievable and ferocious.
A monster arisen. That now spreads terrifying emotion and an opera of screams across the land from Madison to Iowa City, West Lafayette to Minneapolis...
At this point 10 wins is the floor imo
Man my PTSD was real after that start! Stupid me. This defense is insane.
Where's our Illini flag gif person at?
Huge game against MSU next week. We win that one and the following week we're playing for the B10 West Title!!!
If we are up big, Lunney should run the backward screen. Against Michigan, fake that play and pass it forward to another receiver.

One first down after their starter went out in the 2nd quarter. This defense is ridiculous

Illini 7-1 overall..................................4-1 B1G West...................Gonna get another advance in the polls.................
Chase Brown with 149 rushing yards.............................Tommy DeVito goes 20-22 passing...................FIFD with 3 interceptions.................
Another 2nd half shutout by the vaulted FIFD......................Have only allowed 17 second half points for the season.........FOR THE SEASON !!!!!!
Martin O'Donnell just said the Illini D is "" Truly Elite ""....
I concur 1 million per cent................
Does anybody know what Bielema's all time record is following a bye week? I thought I heard somewhere this week he is undefeated or at least has a really impressive record.

Great win for national exposure and the recruiting boon that will result.

I glanced in the game thread and that was a mistake. Nothing but toxic doom and gloom when it was only 9-6. Absolutely no faith in this team or coaching staff.
