I'm glad I went to the pumpkin patch with my family yesterday.
It spared me the disappointment of going to see the Illini game yesterday.
What a complete and utter letdown of a performance. Here are some of the lowlights, starting with the biggest issue:
This Defense is _________
Atrocious. Egregious. Incomprehensible. Whatever pertinent adjective you'd like to use to describe the miserable showing against Purdue. It really hasn't gotten better since Kent State, either. Illinois is averaging allowing over 500 yards and 31.5 points per game defensively. They are ranked 14th out of 14 teams in the Big Ten, and one of the worst in the country.
