Illinois Week practice Thread: 19 Sept. No Media


They are only giving up 8.6 points per game so far this season and have proven to be a stingy defensive team. But they are going up against a Nebraska team that has a flashy freshman quarterback and a stable of talented wide receivers to throw the ball to. Illinois' defense will be facing its largest challenge of the year so far. But so will its offense."

Statistics so early in the season can be misleading.

Yes Illinois is giving up only 8.6 points per game.
The opponents they've played (Eastern Illinois, Kansas and Central Michigan) in their other 6 games are averaging 29.5 points per game.

NU is giving up 6.7 points per game.
Our opponents we've played (UTEP, CU and UNI) in their other 6 games are averaging 21.3 ppg.

By that metric Illinois is/has been better. But ...
  • Kansas, Illinois' premier win so far, is 1-2 and put 48 points against Lindenwood.
  • Central Michigan, Illinois' win last week is also 1-2 and put up 66 against Central Connecticut
I just think 3 weeks in the season the facts and data available to draw conclusions and make projections off of them is not real reliable!

I don't understand what games you're basing the "othe six games" on
