[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1487208, member: 746137"] Lovie is 2-1 against Chris Ash's Rutgers and 2-25 against everyone else. The two wins being that weird 3-9 Michigan State team where everything went wrong, and that one shining afternoon last year against Minnesota. And you look at the 26 losses, how many of them were even close? We went to OT with Darrell Hazell's Purdue one week before he got fired in 2016, a garbage time TD got us within one score of Minny in 2017, Northwestern sat all of their starters in the second half to rest for the Big Ten Championship Game they'd already clinched last year, and then there was the Nebraska game this year. So through 30 Big Ten games, Lovie Smith's Illinois has managed to stay within single digits of their opponent in only 8 of them, two against Ash, one against Hazell, and one against a team resting their guys for the next week's game.
