Unfortunately, this is the biggest take away from the season. 5-7 was definitely on the table for a possible outcome, but watching them play, there were just so many errors made that really resulted in 5-7. From odd playcalling to weird in game decisions by all the coaches, it was just a sad and disappointing regression from last season.they should’ve done much better this season
Our offense played well enough to win. Turnovers killed us. Couldn’t get the fumble at the end of the half. A muffed punt and fumble on the kick off. Chased points with 2 pt tries. Battle through a injuries at the RB and DB

Lunney wasn't the problem. Our offense was the best it's been in a decade. If our defense was halfway competent we would have won 8 games again.this year.
Aaron Henry isn't the answer
So, after watching the last half of the season, are we still saying lunney is part of the problem, or is it possible that Altmyer isn’t actually the right quarterback for his offense? Or, was it just a “they needed more time to gel“ kind of thing? It was way more exciting watching Illinois football the last six games then it was the first six.
Well this was frustrating but we dealt with a lot of loses,injuries, im extremely frustrated because we lost two games due to turnovers on kicks and they have a ton to clean up. I do feel confident that Coach B is the man for the jobs. Sometimes football players can't drop routine catches on kicks and in basketball the players gotta hit FTs.
If they don't drop those kicks and punts in 2 games we are going to a bowl. O dint think thats on coaches. I don't think anyone is better at catching em than who they had back there. They just can't screw up like that.

Lunney had a good last 6 games. Henry had a terrible year. Are we last in the B1G now in PPG allowed?

We were a team that lost in the most humiliating ways possible. Now we’re a team that loses in the most soul-crushing ways possible.

Not sure what it was with this group. Certainly no quit in them, but horrible execution. At no point did they appear to be well coached this season.
to both
Thank you Jake Butt for saying everything I was thinking. We are not a well-coached team. Aaron Henry really cost us this game, and has trouble adjusting mid-game. He is not even a MAC coordinator.
Self-inflicted mistakes will be the legacy of the 2023 Illini football team. This was the definition of beating yourself.
Already looking forward to next season. I'm devastated for the players and fans. We deserve better.
