There isn't much to say about the Illinois football program this year, other than to say the season hasn't gone according to plan.
The Fighting Illini have not won a game since Sept. 9, losing their last eight match-ups, and have been outscored by an average of 12 points per game this season.
Illinois' last Big Ten win came more than a year ago, when the Illini defeated Michigan State, 31-27, on Nov. 5, 2016. The Illini have regressed in their second year under head coach Lovie Smith, as Illinois boasts the worst rushing offense in the Big Ten while it also leads the conference in interceptions thrown.
