University of Illinois and Western Illinois Football Hit All Time Low
Illinois has a 4th year senior in Juice Williams. He has a team around him. What the heck happened? Maybe ask the offensive coach calling the plays. Maybe ask the whole coaching staff what they were doing during training camp.
Then you lose to Indiana. Nothing more to say besides the whole team looks like it is just waiting for the year to end.
Western Illinois has a returning quarterback. We lose and lose some more. Starting QB Barr has surgery ending 24 or so straight games.
Then you lose to Indiana St. This is the same Indiana St. had 33 game losing streak. They even scheduled Quincy College, yes Quincy Illinois to start the season and lost to them. Yet some how WIU managed to lose this one.

“TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — Indiana State won for the first time in more than three years on Saturday, defeating Western Illinois 17-14 and ending the nation’s longest losing streak at 33 games.
Ryan Roberts scored his second touchdown on a 4-yard run with 4 minutes 12 seconds to play as the Sycamores drove 80 yards for the winning score. Roberts, a sophomore quarterback, had a 91-yard scoring run earlier in the game and finished with 160 yards rushing in the game for Indiana State (1-7, 1-4 Missouri Valley).
Only Prairie View A&M (80 games), Columbia (44) and Northwestern (34) have ever lost more games consecutively. The Sycamores hadn’t won since beating Missouri State 28-22 on Oct. 21, 2006.”
