Illinois vs Oregon, Saturday, October 24th, 2:00pm CT, BTN
We’re primed to win this one.
Put the bottle down, you need a break
If we can watch Clayton ball out and develop and stumble backwards until a bowl, I’d consider that a success from this point forward considering how we got here.

Crowd needs to be electric from go … the guys need an environment that rattles the opponent.

Our D is just what they need to see
Good thing for them we don’t get takeaways

I hope they scheme up some magic on D over the next two weeks.
Hopefully a lot of blitzes and taking chances at negative plays. Guna lose my mind if we hang back and give up easy check downs that they inevitably turn into 15yd+ gains
Ducks host Nebraska next Saturday.

There is a pretty good chance both of these teams are 3-3 entering this game.
Oregon is not the team of old. We will need to force turnovers if we want any chance to win. Could be a very interesting line come next Sunday.

He’s been benched. I need to correct myself. They had 7 turnovers in the game.
I hope the two weeks we have here will pay off. Maybe two weeks with the new DC will help. I know I am reaching here but you never know. Crazier things have happened.
And that’s what is so frustrating. The schedule this year screamed the possibility of 10-2 or even 11-1 if the right pieces would have been put in place in the offseason. Such a missed opportunity.
We played horrible against Duke and Purdue. If we play just an average game we win both games. Just way to many mental mistakes

Purdue played a brutal 3 game stretch and has actually looked like a sneaky good team. They completely steam rolled a respectable Minnesota team yesterday.
Duke is also 4-1. The problem with those games is the self inflicted mistakes. In the past couple years we win those games because we play mistake free football.
Six wins will take a miracle. But I will enjoy watching Pat Bryant chase the TD record, some of our talented freshmen getting playing time, and seeing if the OL (most of whom can return next year) can start solidifying.
