I noticed in the game yesterday that Nick Herbig was really a non-factor. Last year he terrorized us on the line of scrimmage. The O line did enough to win. Best Illini team in many years.

Herbig had a hell of a game. He was all over the place and was one of the line bright spots for UW. The thing was we were able to win everywhere else and hold him back a little.

He started off kind of quick. I believe he had a TFL in one of first series, but then like you said he didn’t do a lot.

I don’t know if it was adjustments or just our guys settling in and knowing the moment wasn’t too big for them, but I thought both lines improved after about first quarter. I think I posted something to that effect about D-Line in game thread. They weren’t really getting much pressure on Mertz early on, but then that changed.

I just went to btn.com tv schedule for Sat Oct 15th and it lists

B1G Tailgate: from Illinois

Has this been announced and I missed it?

Scheduling for that weekend seems to be leaking out. I worry though, that means game on BTN? It'd be a shame if all of our games during this big stretch were merely on BTN.

I'd take an FS1 game. I guess I don't really care about ESPN or ESPN2 anymore since they are just SEC channels now. I wonder how many wins we need to get on the network channels.

I think it’s a smart choice
11am kickoff
Illinois Homecoming
Minnesota 4-1, 1-1 is off this week
Illini favored against Iowa and could (should) be 5-1, 2-1
Illini playing for bowl eligibility
Illini’s return to respectability and the quick turnaround by Bielema (beat old teams Wisc and Iowa)
Possibly still having the leading rusher in the Nation
Interviews with Underwood about upcoming season

Would be pretty easy for them to sell that to date Illinois and Minnesota are the most complete teams in the West and that this game could go a long way in determining who wins the West
Still would be a ton of games left to be played but can see the angle at that point in the season

A lot better excitement and story lines here than NW this week!

4-1 Currently
5-2 Prospectively (since we may indeed be favored in 5 or 6 of these final 7)
9-3 Florida Bowl Game

Doubt it will happen exactly this way, but every game is certainly winnable. Perhaps November 19th at Michigan will be a 4:00pm eastern kick-off on ABC or FOX!

The thing about them going to Lawrence is that it's not just a cutesy feel-good thing the way we're acting like ought to weigh in our favor.

Somehow TCU-Kansas is actually legitimately the game of the week, the only matchup between undefeated P5 teams. I'm sure they expected to be in Tuscaloosa but Texas A&M hasn't held up their end of the bargain.

Hypothetically you could have imagined a world where UI-Minny was a battle of ranked teams had Minny beaten Purdue. But there's still Bama at Tennessee (mortal lock for Gameday if UT beats LSU, and probably even if they don't), PSU at Michigan, USC at Utah, the Red River Shootout, a suddenly intriguing Mississippi State at Kentucky, a suddenly less intriguing Clemson at FSU, it's a totally loaded week, there was never a chance.
