Here is the Illinois Sports news from around the country and around the internet.
Daily Illini: Illini got beaten by the Badgers, and that’s OK
Ke’Shawn Vaughn said the Illini beat themselves. Bill Cubit talked about injuries and lack of execution. Mike Phair said there are some good things to take away from Illinois football’s 24-13 Homecoming loss to Wisconsin, but that winning the game is ultimately the only thing he wanted to do.
However you put it, the Illini just couldn’t finish against a Big Ten team that seems to have their number — the Badgers have won 10 of the teams’ last 11 matchups.
