The Illinois football team went into the game on Saturday needing a win over Minnesota but failed to get the victory.
Starting the season 0-2 isn’t good, but a win over the Gophers would get everything back on track and moving in the right direction. Not only did Illinois lose the game, but they lost it in ugly fashion and made just about everyone start to question what is going on in Champaign.
