Illinois 27, Maryland 24 Postgame
Coach Henry you and your guys came game ready!!! O line showed some improvements on some drives but overall everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction. Me personally, I think special teams was the key factor in this win. We earned good field position with our returns and maintained good defensive positions with longer fields.

Agreed, I see little similarities to Kittner’s first season. I expect Altmeyer to lead us to a lot of wins in the next few years.
Bielema is still the coach we want and Henry will be fine once we reload but Lunney……. 3 straight 3 and outs in the 4th were brutal!

Exactly what Robert was preaching about all week. It's like Bret read them all his article and they actually listened and took it to heart.
I'm in shock! The last 2 plays by Altmyer were spectacular. Certainly did not have a great day but you can see the potential. I think he's gonna be a good one. And Feagin is going to be a handful. Still feels like this is going to be a roller coaster of a season, but there is a glimmer of hope.

So I guess NOT firing everyone, as proposed last week, was a good idea. Good leaders adjust, which we did.

I don’t always need a ridiculous 4th-quarter game-saving catch, but when I do…I throw it to Casey Washington
Huge, huge, huge win!

All 3 units played really well today. Great win.
Still lots to play for over the final 5 games of the regular season.

Still have a shot at a bowl game. Great win!
i was apoplectic after IWill's huge punt return was followed by the offense crapping out 3 plays and missed a field goal....
So far? We hope.
I did not expect us to close. Good deal!
When he played not to lose on the second to last offensive drive - that was the nail in the coffin for me. I’m done with Lunney. Great that he wanted to go for it, lucky it worked out. But this dude is not good.
I'm in complete agreement. I know some of our fans are seeing the flaws, but he's young and he just flashes so much potential. He is legitimately the best QB we've had since Kittner in my opinion- kid just needs game reps, a pocket, and a decent OC and he'll get there. Luke is really good, he's just an underclassman.
Idk I’m not a huge fan of an NCAA violation. We aren’t Kansas they’ll give us the punishment.
