Good season. Need more pass rush from our ends and at least 1 more receiver that can get open against good teams.
What a game! What a season! I’ve not been this excited for Illini football in a LONG time!!!

We got to see Illinois football in January for the first time since 2008. The defense did a heck of a job, despite missing key players and a coaching change. The offensive line had a tough day. Extremely excited about this upcoming season and the new QB.
Still no 9 win season

I ain't even mad. RIP Coach Leach.
Great season! 8-5 after the years we have experienced is so nice to see. Let’s keep building and winning. I-L-L
Good season and loved that we got to watch an Illinois football game today.
That said, would have loved to see the Illini win this one for obvious reasons. Very winnable game and tough to finish the season having lost 4 of our final 5.
Let’s build on this next year.

ESPN gets their pirate story. Whatever.
New year. Same final 3 minutes.
Great season in so many ways obviously but feeling good requires you to block out a massive amount of pain at the end of literally every one of our losses.

Oh well. Come back next season with some fire.

Always disappointing to lose a bowl game but they fought like hell. The next big step this program has to make is on offense.

Put me in the bummed out category. Yes, I trust BB and staff and where this program is going, but we lost yet another game where we had a lead and then clearly changed how we played. Maryland last year, Indiana this year, Michigan, we’ve seen this so many times and it’s cost us quite a few wins. 
On to next year.
On to next year.
Oh that last td is a pisser
And…signing off before the irrational negative Nances come out. Happy New Year and Go ILLINI!

Also, I'll take being disappointed about a bowl loss over all those seasons we didn't earn a bowl bid every. single. time. But next year, let's win our bowl game.
Great season. Need to figure out how to score some more points, especially TDs, next season. Go Illini
