This game is tainted. Illini has no excuses for the 4 TOs (2 on special teams) but they got fucked on the 2 pt conversation at the end of the game. It was a very obvious holding penalty on NW. The holding occured before the ball was tipped.

The DL played pretty well. The defensive backfield, which should be a relative strength, was terrible.

The whole offense was awful. Peters was terrible, drops, the OL was meh to bad, penalties. Nothing good there.

A few bad calls went against them and it led to some meltdowns.

Lovie's teams just make too many huge mistakes and don't have enough talent. They had a couple incredible and lucky comebacks last year. Otherwise this program is a fucking dumpster fire.

This is the weakest overall Wisconsin team in several years - their run game is going to be a shadow of itself with just an above average line and no dominant RB, and the defense will be solid but lacks their usual couple of studs coming off the edge. That said the defense has the usual good ILBs and their tackles looked very good last night.

But that Mertz is legit. Great accuracy and knew where to go with the ball presnap against every blitz. He will be the best QB from UW ever except possibly Wilson, but Wilson was a one year grad transfer.
this is not aging well

Illinois would be in playoff if they didn’t lose to Minnesota, true or false?

I don’t think so but if they were it would get ugly.

They are 6-3 in conference with a +10 point differential.

Good fortune this year.
