Maryland may actually be terrible, but they are undefeated and have a decently favorable schedule going forward. I think they ultimately drop at least 3 more but I think their odds of going 10-2 are way more than 2%. They have to have better odds than Washington, who already has one loss and also still has Oregon on the schedule.

We live in a timeline very close to one, maybe even in said timeline, where Maryland and Illinois are 7-2 and facing off with GameDay on site in mid-November.

Lol, can you imagine a CFP rematch with Indiana?? I don't know if we'd be able to take them down in Bloomington, to be honest ... but I would feel confident that we wouldn't get spanked again.

(... then again, I was pretty confident we wouldn't get spanked the first time, so...)

Given the suffering we endured in the stands in Bloomington two weekends ago, I would drive, nay walk, another 1200 miles round trip and sit in that stadium in freezing rain in December if redemption were a possibility. I badly need a palate cleanser for that (to quote Rosiek) "S*!t sandwich.".

As of now, if you look at the schedules, not saying we are a better team but I think our chances are better than Penn State's.

Updated Gies Memorial Stadium Sellout Watch:

There was no announcement today that the Rutgers game is sold out, but that should be coming any day. Sales for Maryland are also quite strong. I would guess, barring an unexpected losing streak, that game sells out as well. They may even be ranked at that time.

It's so exciting to have a full, electric stadium each week so far this season. I never would have envisioned that when I started this tracking a few years ago. Pinch me.

From an efficiency perspective, it's not even close. He leads in almost every meaningful statistical category that is viewing him over his career (at Illinois) work. At worst, he's on the Illinois QB Career Mount Rushmore.


Only 11 Illinois QBs have 700+ passing attempts, which creates a good cut-off of who's eligible for consideration: Scheelhaase, Kittner, Trudeau, Juice, Verduzco, Eason, Lunt, Altmyer, Beutjer, Johnny Johnson, and Jeff George.

Colin Cowherd blew a gasket in his latest podcast about Oregon. As usual he goes 60% of the time talking about USC. Melting down and calling Luke an average q.b. with average receivers. He was at the game. I guess he did not see Hank Beatty's catch on the sidelines. That was anything but average. He kept talking about how terrible their secondary was and then his co-host stated that USC did not play the same team that Indiana did. Credit to him. I hope we can use some of that as fuel going forward. Cowherd is such a USC homey.
