Brian Barnhart's daughter had no idea that her father was the play-by-play guy for Illinois football when she planned her wedding smack dab in the midde of football season?
Poor timing I would say. Biggest game of the year to this point and BB has to walk his daughter down the aisle. Something is wrong here LOL
I missed it but it’s looked like HB stepped OOB on his return for touchdown play. There is a clip on here that shows his foot may have stepped on the white. Has anyone else seen this replay?
Tanner Heckel time to shine
Oh no. Who will recap the entire game every 47 seconds?
Brian claims that she sought alternatives but that there were none available. First game that he's missed since 2002.Brian Barnhart's daughter had no idea that her father was the play-by-play guy for Illinois football when she planned her wedding smack dab in the midde of football season?
Just thought it was a tweaked ankle

- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
Would love to see Miles Scott move down to nickel and heckel take Pattersons spot.
Without X that feels like the highest value moves.

Heckel's a nickel. I think best case scenario is you have Clarke back and he takes Patterson's spot (opposite Cox, Heckel at STAR).

I know there are other games that can be mentioned. I know we played in a Rose Bowls and Sugar Bowl. I attended. But I think a solid argument can be made that this is Illinois’ biggest game in their history. We are in a new era of college football (post NIL). If we make CFP we are really putting the program in the top 15 nationally and top 5 in the BT. Truly moving in front of programs we aspired to be like in Iowa, Wisconsin and others. The recruiting benefits of making CFP and back to back 10 win seasons are big. We have a huge opportunity in front of us if we can beat Indiana.
Pray that juice Clarke can play and Patterson has a bounce back game.
The injury sucks but it’s time for the rest of the team to step up and find a way to win

I've always thought Patterson was going to wind up being really good. I hope this game is the start of that.
We also need a very good Mac Resetich as well. We do get Aiden Dylan back. I believe the game will hinge on our O line.
OLine & SPECIAL TEAMS .
O line and d line need to step up
He played better last year. I have faith in the staff to get him back on track
Seems like there is funny business going on in the reporting of Clarke's injury as well. About a 0% chance he plays, IMO.

vs Michigan, 1983 is still the gold standard of biggest games in Illini history.
And though it was before my time, at Michigan State, 1963 has to be right up there.
