REfs actually added 2 seconds. They went from :08 sec to :09 on the spiked ball, then gave scUM a free play. Gonna be some splaining to do by the officiating crew.

Western Michigan is the new Appalachian State!

What would you put the over/under at?

And then the next game, setting the all time Memorial Stadium passing record (507 yds) in his first start as an Illini. Incredible story considering he was a walk-on as a Sr. Grad student just so he could be a 4th generation Illinois Football player.

Exactly. And glad to see it happen to them. Against scUM they shot 31% from the floor and 27% on 3's. Our game against them we shot 34% from the floor and 23% on 3's. In our game vs. UConn they shot 36% on 3's. If we had matched their 36% 3-point shooting percentage it would have been a...

Tennessee AG says he's glad he won legal ruling allowing unlimited player portal transfers while also saying the impact on the portal has made it a disaster. College football transfer portal is 'train wreck.' Ask man who ignited it USA Today article

This post drives a mostly accurate view but it didn't totally hold up when I fact checked it. Alabama had 193 yds today vs. IU. The Illini had 161 yds when IU beat us. I guess we could say Illinois football is close to Alabama football. ☹️

As other have said, we were kicking into the wind, but I have a lot of questions maybe others can help answer. When I saw the in-game replay of the kick-off returned for a TD, I noticed it wasn't David Olano kicking off. It was #27 Lucas Osada. I haven't watched a replay of the game yet, but...
