Pulse of Illini Nation: Improvement on Offense or on Defense?

The Illini are more or less where we expected them to be heading into the bye week. At 2-2, the remainder of the Illini’s 2018 season will be determined by how much improvement they can make coming off the bye.

So far this season, the Illini offense has averaged about 27 points and 409 yards per game. The defense has given up about 31 points per game and over 500 yards of offense.

Now, with #Illinutgers week here, the Illini have an opportunity to show significant improvement on both sides and notch their first Big Ten win in almost two seasons.
