Maybe we should dust off the icy white uni’s next Friday.geez, teams are still doing this black uniform thing ?
I don’t get it

Has anything been said about Adams' injury? Definitely can't lose him.
We know nothing other than Altmyer is the real deal. Let’s throw it out there and see what happens. #allwhiteilliniWe need to get the run game going. We certainly do not need a shootout against KU in a road game. A strong run game will wear down the defense and provide even more opportunities for us. We cannot leave our D on the field too long. Granted the penalties kept them out there too long last night. That must get better.
I would love to see one of other other RBs step up (like Feagin or Laughery). McCray was not where I hoped he would be and Love was ok. We cannot continue to have our QB as our leading rusher.
My prediction:
ILLINOIS 31
KANSAS 28
Just win!
Unless more top 30 teams lose next week, even with a win at Kansas, I doubt Illini jump in top 25 for Penn State game (it could be close though).Our two toughest games of the first six are in week #2 (@KU) and week #3 (PSU). We will definitely play better than we did in the opener, but will it be good enough to win our first difficult road test of the season. The realist in me says NO. We really need better LINE play on both sides of the ball.
KU -- 34
ILL -- 28
Kansas covers.
(I'm turning pessimist, but if the Illini do happen to win, it will make this coming weekend's road trip all the more enjoyable! I really want a shot at Penn State in week #3 with both teams 2-0 and ranked in the Top 25!)
I love our Illini, but I figured out Saturday we are basically very young and not a bunch of snap together as units.Our two toughest games of the first six are in week #2 (@KU) and week #3 (PSU).
