The Illini made the trip back to Champaign after a beat down against the Wisconsin Badgers, 49-20. Honestly, the game wasn’t as bad as the score shows. Illinois was competitive for the most part. They had it within 11 points in the third quarter. But, Illinois just couldn’t get out of their own way.
Illinois now drops to 3-4 on the season with a 1-3 Big Ten record. The next five contests will be interesting for this program. I think if Illinois plays their best football in all five games then they could win them all.
