Illinois is 1-4 in the worst division in Power 5

Happy Sunday, Illinois Land!

I feel like I’ve written this column 10 times in the past 12 months.

A winnable game for Illinois football that ends in a loss due to an unforeseen drop, or TWO in this case, incompetent use of timeouts or obviously being outcoached by the other team.

It’s similar, but never the same. It feels like it’s not going to happen again. Until it does.

Usually, it’s worse this time than last time.
