[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1808296, member: 2886"] Here are the best Illini football starts since 1917 (before then they played at most seven games per season): 1923: 8-0 1927: 7-0-1 1928: 7-1 1934: 7-1 1950: 7-1 1951: 9-0-1 1983: 10-1 (lost to Miznoz in Sept opener) 1989: 7-1 (lost to Colorado in Sept and then Michigan in game #9) 2001: 10-1 (lost to Michigan in Sept) 2022: 7-1 This fall's team is now tied with 1928, '34, '50, and '89 for the fourth best start in the past 106 seasons of eight or more games on the schedule. Win v. MSU and Purdue and they're tied with '83 and '01 for the second best start in our history through 10 games. Only '51 was better. Just mind-blowing what these guys and their coaches have done so far IMO, especially considering the starting point two years ago. [/QUOTE]
