63-0: A Year Later

This certainly could’ve been a whiny article.

Editor’s Note: The first draft of this absolutely was a whiny article full of complaining.

But it shouldn’t be.

One year ago today — Nov. 17, 2018 — Illinois lost on Senior Day to Iowa 63-0. And, you know, that game kind of really sucked at the time. It seemed like a low point, it seemed like the end.

But, as Fighting Illini do, we fought through it.

Everyone around the program bounded together. And things seemingly look like they’re headed in the right direction.

The point of this article isn’t to remind you of an awful day, but, hopefully, in some weird way, a turning point.
