How will Illinois find its sixth win?

Which of Illinois' four remaining games do you think the Fighting Illini are most likely to win to clinch bowl eligibility? Illinois is currently 5-3 and must win one to secure a third consecutive trip to a bowl game.

  • Nov. 6 vs. Nebraska (5-2)
  • Nov. 13 at No. 7 UCLA (8-0)
  • Nov. 21 vs. Iowa (6-2)
  • Nov. 28 at No. 20 Northwestern (6-2)

Bielema and Whitman after the win:

Good to see this after the week Bielema has had. Can just imagine this win meant a little bit more for him after losing his dad.

Maryland stadium is EMPTY vs. Illinois

I get that it's a noon ET game on Halloween and Maryland is really bad, but the fact that FREE TUITION couldn't get students to show out for the Terps' game against the Illini is crazy to me.

Katin Houser intercepted early

Katin Houser was picked off on his second throw, which was high and inaccurate. Gotta wonder how much that hand is impacting him.

Crazy to me that Houser is playing

Honestly shocked that through it all, Houser will only miss one game after breaking his hand. Huge gain for the Illini to have him back!
