Winning is more fun than losing, so let's just go ahead and win.

7 wins, no matter what this season is now a successful one. Win 1/2 of our final 2 and it's a very good season. Win 2/2 and it's a great season. Win 2/2 and a bowl game, now we enter an excellent season. ILL

Really want to see Illinois be very competitive in this one. Obviously, would be great to win (duh), but I'm really pointing more toward the Northwestern game. I really don't want to see us come out flat in another road game, particularly when we are a LOT closer in terms of talent level.

I'm expecting Rutgers -3???

I actually think this is the game where we may see a PK in the books at open.

Every game I've ever seen Kaliakmanis play in, he just absolutely disintegrates under pressure. It was great seeing Henry finally scrap his plan to only rush 3 today when it got to the 4th quarter. If for even a second he isn't putting pressure on Kaliakmanis and decides to rush 3, he should be jettisoned into the sun. Put pressure on Kaliakmanis and win this game- it's really that simple

I like that we go on the road way overdue for some defensive turnovers.

Do we want Rutgers to win tonight?

Do we want Rutgers to win tonight?

Yes. We don’t play Maryland this year, so we don’t care about them.

There or thereabouts. Two pretty evenly matched teams.

 

[DERV64]

I feel good about this game...thinking Illini 24 Rutgers 14.

Unfortunately, it seems whenever I feel good about a game is when they play their worst.
( I didn't feel good about today's game)

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

IMO this is your typical tossup B10 game... the line don't mean

stay fundamentally sound, turnover free, limit big plays and pull out the dub!

 

[illini80]

Can someone make a Seinfeld/Newman gif where he says Peacock? Sorry but I’m not signing up.

 

[Ander1345]

My fathe rin law just canceled their subscription... ugh.

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

This one likely is a loss, NW is a tossup.

Likeliest: probably you win one of these, Second-likeliest: 7, least likely: 9.

Did not think we'll win this with the way we've been playing. Great way to take away some doom and gloom

 

[kyillinifan]

Have to stop Manugi.

 

[mhuml32]

I'll say Rutgers -1.5

 

[BZuppke]

I liked the confidence Luke and the team showed today. It was missing when we played the Gophers. I think this bodes well for the next two games

 

[1970 John]

We will be there and I am hungry for a win. We live in Pennsylvania and the only thing worse than New Nersey plates on a car it’s New York plates. Most (but not all) New Jerseyites deserve a thorough Rutgers shellacking. Give it to them.

My fathe rin law just canceled their subscription... ugh.

Should be good through the end of the month..... give it a try.

Rutgers has looked better in the last two weeks. However, they've also benefited from a schedule that didn't include Oregon, Indiana, Penn State or Ohio State. Or Michigan, for that matter, though that turned out not to be a benefit.
