Illinois now sits at 4-8 overall, which is one of the worst starts in school history. While we have won two out of the last three games, the one loss ended up being a blowout to Missouri in the annual Braggin’ Rights game.
The Illini do have Florida Atlantic coming up this Saturday and that should be a win. But, after the game against the Owls, the Big Ten slate starts back up. Four out of the first six Big Ten matchups for the Illini are against ranked opponents. That is a tough stretch. How can Illinois use the talent they have on the team right now to start winning some more games, though?
