Illini 5-1 vs Gophers 4-1 at 11. Should be a great game. Beautiful fall day with a cool breeze. Beers will flow early today. Homecoming so campus will be on fire.

I didn't realize MN was doing so well defensively. They allow fewer points than Iowa. If Sitkowski plays, we better hope Chase Brown breaks a couple.

Hope they have a great turnout. Today s a great day for football. Great weather to be at a game. Lots of really good matchups for fans at home to watch on TV today/tonight.

I will be breaking out my "I Hope Both Teams Lose" Obvious Shirt for the Penn State Michigan game.

The Illinois Defense essentially allowed seven points as the second touchdown was a 4 yard drive after that kick off return. They gave up under 200 yards on the day. Very impressive.

Meanwhile the Minnesota defense has been allowing 222 yards total per game and Chase Brown alone had 233

I will preface this by saying it is a bad list or a list of underwhelming career numbers anyway but… Chase Brown moved up six places on the Illinois all-time leading rushing list today and stands at number six.

That being said, number six careerwise at Illinois has numbers that look like some guys put up in a season. I believe he’s at 2600-2700 yards.

I think he’s projected to be an early 3rd to 4th round pick

Illini 26-9 over Nebraska. Beat the hell out of them. Didn't let them score in the 2nd half. Damn good team.

Nebraska had 60 yards in offense in the second half.

Illini are #16 in AP, #13 in Coaches' poll.

Leading in the 4th, and they Illini have the ball back.

Deep breaths. Let's do this.
