Don’t sleep on Illinois, BB loves to beat Nebraska and they have us there on a Friday night no less. Washington is better than any team we have faced so far but we have them at home on Halloween.
Yep. Glad you pointed that out. Also the reason I was very happy we won at MSU. To be a good team we have win on the road. Hopefully this past win will build confidence for the remaining road wins. Those are actually sweeter than the home wins.I also want to point out that after we play Indiana, we have 6 remaining regular season games and four of them are on the road.
Makes a huge difference when you have a great OL to protect you and an OLINE coach who cam actually coach them.
To put this quote from Coach in context: Rhule was specifically asked at the tail end of his Monday presser whether he caught Dylan's second half in the UO-USC game after ours and what he thought of DR's performance?
A Big Ten team and future Nebraska opponent has made a coaching change. Illinois fired defensive coordinator Bobby Hauck on Sunday.
Hauck was in his first season with the program after replacing Aaron Henry. Henry left Illinois to join Notre Dame's staff. Hauck previously coached at the University of Montana.
Head coach Bret Bielema brought in Hauck in hopes of revamping the Illinois defense. However, the Fighting Illini were struggling to adjust to the new 3-3-5 defense.

Yep, bottle up any negative feelings and let em ferment. Then explode...
No fooling. I've never liked Bielema. IMO, he 's one of the biggest A-holes in CFB.Ruthless.
LOL Votary! Full stop is pretty lame though! I'll try to start posting using it, just for kicks!^^^^ This. If our O-line isn't great, we CAN'T be great. Full stop*.
*I hate it that I used that term

Yep exactly. No distractions for the road team either. No recruits to have to host, no local media up in your face, etc, etc.I agree. Going into someone else's house, just walk in, raid their fridge, take their beer, kiss their wife, and do it right in front of them. Then beat them up before you leave. Nothing like it.
