[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1665380, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/other/illini-offense-goes-nowhere-in-24-0-loss-to-wisconsin/article_7b81ef89-9614-51b7-a0b2-9bdb1261b437.html[/URL] CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Illinois had three yards of total offense at the end of the first quarter Saturday against Wisconsin. It hardly got any better. Illinois totaled six rushes for 21 yards in the first half, and the team was even more bleak through the air. Starting quarterback Brandon Peters was 3-of-7 passing for 12 yards before leaving the game in the second quarter with an injury. He was ruled out for the rest of the contest by the team’s medical staff, according to Bielema Backup quarterback Art Sitkowski, who started twice this season due to another Peters injury, struggled as well. The Rutgers transfer was 0-of-12 passing before his first completion. He finished the game 8-of-27 passing for 55 yards. Wisconsin racked up 491 yards of total offense compared to 93 for the Illini. Illinois’ longest play of the day was a 23-yard run by Brown in the second quarter, which was nearly all of the team’s season-low 26 rushing yards. Despite Joseph’s big plays, the Badgers still imposed their will at the line of scrimmage and rushed for a season-high 391 yards on 61 carries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I felt pretty good waking up this morning after finally a good night's sleep after my dentists appt Tuesday , but reading this article has me feeling queasy and downtrodden..... There is some fluff in the article about BB and his past relationship with wisky , but the real tidbits that I highlighted above shows that we are in peril of continuing the decades long slide into the bottom level of P5 college programs... I mean , you can't make up some of the statistics from yesterday's game....I asked this board last night if I should watch the replay and was advised not to as it would be detrimental to my health and sanity....After reading this article I am glad I took my bro's advice and deleted the game...... I love all things Illini , but this is and has been old and tired for too long being unable to field a relatively competitive team week in and week out..... Looks like 2-10 to me with little hope for the upcoming seasons until we can find a QB who has the ability to LEAD this team back from the ashes that currently describe the status of this program.... Not fun being an Illini FB fan now , but I will continue to hope.....Seems like that's the only thing us fans have right now ............. HOPE...............................................................................................................................................................................................
