My wife and I were with friends at the Illini/Nebraska game in 86. We were walking into the stadium when we saw a lady dressed in red & obvious Husker fan. One of us asked her how she thought the game was going to go. She replied, "We're going to beat you by 50." This was a sweet win.

Seemed like the RB's all had opportunities but Epstein runs with some power & ended up with 4.6 ypc with 75 total yards. Had the hot hand for the day.

Deepest sympathies to Bobby's family. May they find comfort in the support of the ILLINI Nation.

You were a bright light for the team and the university Georgi. Wish you the best & hope to see you back in C-U soon.

I agree with the new coach's approach to recruiting Illinois. The difficulty with this approach in the past has not been how to evaluate the major schools in the state but assessment of talent in mid to smaller schools. I like the approach of involvement with HS coaches and being candid about a...

Much has been said about records as an indicator of potential success. A snapshot of overall record is not necessarily a significant indicator of a coaches value. A couple of these men have taken over programs with poor win/loss records and experience 2-3 years of rebuilding. Changes in scheme...

We got out bigged and outplayed most of the game. Ohio was generally taller at each position, very well schooled and motivated to play the No 8 team in the country. This game will go down as a teaching moment. Other teams will be watching video and we'll need to prepare accordingly.

Mike White may have been one of the best evaluators of passing QB's the past 40 years. He said "In order to be a good passer, you'll need to throw 250 times a day. Your arm will be sore."
