Well, those same Illinois Fighting Illini fans get to watch this team compete in nine more, yes nine more, games in 2016.
I am going to do an optimistic view and a pessimistic view of the Illinois season. But, the pessimistic view comes first because I want to get it over with.

Illinois is already 1-2 on the season with their only win coming against an FCS team. The two losses weren’t in good fashion either.
That loss to Western Michigan was ugly.
