Biggest win since 2007 at OSU. Congrats to the staff and players. Suck it, Badger fans.

I missed it by a little. I told my son Illinois could lose 100-0, I also predicted Taylor would have over 200 yards and not play the last 1 1/2 quarters.

Happy as hell to be dead wrong.

Maybe Lovie can use this momentum for next year to get to 8+ wins.

Biggest upset in the Big Ten since 1982 when Northwestern beat Minnesota as a 32 point underdog.

I never popped in here to thank Illinois for beating Wisconsin. Kept Iowa in the B1G West.

Illini win 24-6
Lovie has demonstrated he has a bag of tricks up his sleeve defensively the past couple of games. Purdue looked uninterested in the first half. So many dropped passes. Perfect weather. Dre Brown had a big 1st half! Happy for him.

Rutgers is an automatic win. Win one of the other games and Illini are bowling. Hard to believe given how the season started.

People will point to the EMU game of course, but the Nebraska game should have been a win. So ticked they let that get away. Nebraska sucks and it would be nice for them to have another L and clearly would be beneficial to have that W.
