It was a glaring result last week, as the Illinois football team was dragged by Indiana.
This was one of the worst feelings I have had as a sports fan. The Illini looked awful from start to finish, and a big reason why we lost in horrific fashion was that nearly our entire secondary was out for the game.
Thankfully, that is about to change against USC. Illinois gets a tremendous amount of talent back, including Miles Scott, who was missing due to a targeting penalty.
