Illinois Football: Evaluating the Illini through four games

The Illinois football team was less than five minutes away from moving to 2-2 on the season and 2-0 in the Big Ten.

The final five minutes of the game on Friday night against Maryland is what you call shooting yourself in the foot. The Illini managed to let a seven-point lead slip away in the waning moments of the game. Everything that could have gone wrong in the final five minutes ended up going wrong.

Now Illinois fans are entering week four with a 1-3 record overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten.
