MUST. WIN. THIS. GAME.
This game comes down to which team can focus on prep and not dwell on this weekend’s results.
Hopefully Luke is ok

Last year the B1G West was ours and we botched it. It would be hilarious and wonderful if we strung together four wins and snatched the final West crown out from under everyone. It's possible. This game is extremely winnable. Take care of business and keep the dream alive.

TBF Bucky looked pretty solid against OSU last weekend.
Agreed about IU. They're playing much better lately and took PSU to the the wire.
I will be at the game. I watched the IU game today. The offense is not bad.we are better than IU. I hope we get Live back.

If our offense could just put it all together. We have spurts and then fall apart. We started feeding the ball to Feagan and then went away from it. We kept throwing lateral to IW and it never worked once - but we kept doing it. We made some good plays as well and moved the ball but then went sideways.
They certainly did. They are quite vulnerable on road. They also rely on a lot of picks to get WR separation. They did so 2-3 x vs IU which resulted in either a TD or 1st down.
IU QB is a gamer and they have a couple wideouts who can take it to the house. IU really tried to control ball today, but I think Illini D will help prevent that from happening.
I also swear we miss the first blocking assignment on 90% of those swing routes. Same thing that lead to IW fumble last year against Iowa

Would love to see a packed house on Saturday. Go Illini.
I agree. Seem to lose the rhythm. I think the short plays to IW were due to the fact Feagin was the only RB available they trust.

Whatever you do, just don't lose that game.

Early speculation, based upon the fact that the Big Ten consists of Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and then 11 other teams that seem pretty comparable to one another ---- all the way from 7-2 Iowa down to 2-7 Purdue.
ILL - 3.5; O/U 46.5
ILL - 3.5; O/U 46.5
They are definitely a lot less good without Braelon Allen too
That’s a very good point.
