As of Sunday, there are only 30 days until the Illinois men’s basketball regular season opener. Unfortunately, it’s only the beginning of hot garbage football season.
Getting shutout 24-0 is bad enough, but that doesn’t even come close to showing how historically bad Illinois played on Saturday. They gave up 491 yards while only gaining 93 of their own. It was Illinois’ worst offensive performance since the Carter administration.
#illini just surpassed the 1977 Illinois team (78 yards) the last Illini team to have fewer than 100 yards.

This was worse than the 63-0 game!
