Washington 42, No. 23 Illinois 25 - My @Illini_Guys Column: Obviously, something...anything has to change regarding the results of the #Illini defense. What can be done? Who is to blame? Even Bret Bielema doesn't have those answers as of now. https://t.co/6Xzze6jTDH

Whether that change is a what or a whom, something has to be different about what Illinois is doing on the defensive side of the football. And Bret Bielema knows it. By Matt Stevens - IlliniGuys...

Halftime at @StateFarmCenter: Illinois 37, Illinois State 31. Not the end of the second quarter that #Illini HC @Shauna_Green wanted at all. ISU connected on its last six field goal attempts, and #Illini shot selection late in the half was below average.

Media Timeout (4:58 left in 2nd): Illinois 33, Illinois State 20. For this being a young and inexperienced #Illini team (playing together), the offensive execution has been fairly impressive (14 of 28 from field & only two turnovers).

The view from my @Illini_Guys home office on Sunday afternoon at @StateFarmCenter as #Illini women's basketball hosts Illinois State for a noon CST tip. Illinois (1-0) is looking for back-to-back home wins before they play at Oregon State later this coming week.

Threatening Michigan and USC with having their rights not tied to a bunch of schools who donât draw any ratings might not be the threat they think it is.
If Michigan and USC do not agree to the capital deal with UC Investments, the schools may lose millions in additional capital funds and risk their future within the conference beyond 2036 - the current existing end of the leagueâs grant-of-rights.
