Off to Lincoln, Nebraska! My first road trip of the 2024-2025 year for Illinois Athletics. In the #FamILLyFocus . Looking forward to seeing Illinois’ first ranked matchup since 2008 and Nebraska’s 400th consecutive sellout in-person. This is also my 16th consecutive Illinois

Bret Bielema is 8-6 in Big Ten road games as head coach at Illinois. His eight Big Ten road wins are the fourth-most ever by an Illinois head coach in his first four seasons. #Illini | #HTTO

Illinois used to need perfection to win these games. In the past a fumble like Zakhari Franklin’s vs Kansas or tonight’s by Beatty and Altmyer would’ve felt like the end. But under Bielema, that’s no longer the case. His teams can overcome adversity and find a way to win.

Pat Bryant "Just going out there and making a statement showing that we're a hard-fighting team, we're going to fight to the end no matter what the circumstances are" Feels straight out of the inscription on Memorial Stadium:

There's just something that seems destined about this season with it being the 100th anniversary of Memorial Stadium. The uniforms are immaculate and embracing different eras of our history to a level we've never done before with the throwback helmets. A very real chance of

Something extremely special being completely surrounded by opposing fans like I’ve been a part of many times traveling to away games and supporting Illinois with pride in enemy territory. Having your voice and cheering be clearly heard over the silence of thousands of opposing

Bowl projections in week 5 really don't mean anything, but I particularly liked Brad Crawford's projection of Illinois in the Music City Bowl. I know we're still aiming for bigger things, and many people like going to a bowl game in a warmer weather environment. But I love the

Four years ago, no one took the Illinois football program seriously. No one had for a long, long time. Now, a top-10 team with one of the most electric crowd atmospheres in football feels the need to ask for that energy when the #Illini come to town. Bret Bielema did that. #ILL

Long gone are Illinois' struggles in the red zone. Was a major gripe with Lunney, but he's certainly turned things around with Illinois now scoring a TD on 72% of red zone trips since the Maryland game last season
