8-4, but could see us going 7-5 or 9-3
I feel like we are either due for a big correction in fourth quarter performances and it is more of a 7 or 8 win season or this is truly a special year and Luke just has that 4th quarter magic and we make the playoff8-4. We lose to OSU, UW, either Duke or IU and one other (let's say Wisky). We did well last year in close games, so the ball bounces against us a few times this year. That this will be viewed as a disappointment shows how far we have come
IDK....I like Luke to win the Heisman in this scenario.I like 12-0. The ball bounces our way all season, the zebras make the correct calls, 1 of our running backs wins the Heisman, Luke completes 75% of his passes with 33 touchdowns and zero ints. Brett coaches a near perfect production of Illinois football and wins bigten and national coach of the year. Sit back and enjoy as Illinois wins it first natty since the 1920's. Dream big or don't dream at all. This season will make up for everything since the slush fund.
Going 8-4 which includes beating Ohio State and losing to Maryland...Western Illinois - W

8-4. Too many questions at WR and LB. Plus the O Line is all back but they weren’t great last year. Huge W vs OSU and traditionally head scratching home loss with Maryland being that team this year.
