And yet they're only 3-5.Illinois has improved. Admittedly only 3-5 and they have been blown out twice but they also have lost three one score games including to the #24 ranked team by 7 points and #25 by 4. They have won two one score games including today's road win over a top ten team and another one.
Very true - bottom line I think they are better but still not a good team. Their QB play is pretty bad but their defense plays well in spots and they can run it.And yet they're only 3-5.
They say the possessions surrounding the half are among the most important in the game. If that holds today, then Pitt will be in good shape - dominant stretch there.
