I got an update on Nebraska for you
Pregame: Illinois at Washington, Saturday, October 25th, 2:30pm CT, BTN

I’m worried now that Washington lost that they’re going to come for blood next week. I don’t think this game could’ve gone any worse for us…

Michigan also got a lot of pressure on the QB that we have been lacking.
Washington has won the last twenty four of twenty five games at home

If we're not prepared to have everyone come for blood against us, we're not the team we hope BB can develop. Hell, we're not even the team we've seen take the field this year.
If the players are afraid of stiff competition, they shouldn't be on the field.
Because they come for blood doesn’t mean that they are not going to get a beat down.
Should we rename this thread as “Illinois vs. Ryan Walters?” That would spice it up. I had almost forgotten he was their defense coach after he shamefully sneaked out of Purdue under the cover of darkness.
On the other hand, having 3 interceptions should have Huskies QB doubting himself. Pressure from Michigan affected him. Illini should dial up a few more blitzes to see if it causes turnovers.
Definitely a great tool for Illinois staff. You get a blueprint of what worked. Before today, you really just have Ohio State loss to go off because noone had really bottled there offense up.
I was there too. One of the most illini things possible. Hopefully we've seen our last of such bad breaks.
Since Michigan vs Michigan St got the 7:30 NBC slot it looks like this game could be on the 3:30 CBS slot
Fingers crossed.

That would be 6:30 and 2:30
Seattle Illini club is in Sec 101
Eastern time...
Correction … Section 102. Sorry.
If we just take care of the ball, you already have such a massive advantage IMO. Wash had 3 INTs against Michigan.
Just the amount of TERRIBLE turnovers we've seen the past two days: the LVille fumble when they basically had the game won, the Miami INT returning the favor, the Duke 99 yard fumble/scoop n score, the Tennessee 99 yard pick 6 to end the half, Mississippi State throwing an INT right before lining up for game winning FG.

me too, our DB made a dumb play batting the ball from the end zone back into the field. if only he had whiffed smh
I think our offense is going to come out of the bye on fire. Mentally, I think the guys know they could've put up points on tOSU and just didn't take advantage. They will use the bye to turn this good offense onto a great offense IMO.
Defensively, I have no idea. I'm optimistic, but definitely not holding my breath.
I see this as a Duke game if Washington plays sloppy. Or if Washington is up for the challenge then its a shootout where whoever has the ball last wins. But I don't see them pulling away from us.
Washington is third of three “tossup” games on our schedule, along with Duke and USC. It turns out we are overmatched against Indiana and OSU, and probably better than the rest of the other teams outside these 5. This game will determine if we’re really good or just pretty good.
Not that I would ever complain about a 9-3 regular season!!
