FWIW, I think the appropriate outlook is somewhere between, "It's an ass-whoopin', enjoy it" and "These guys are playing like [Mark May] and destroying their image with pollsters."

They are dominating this game, but not playing well at all. The scoreboard is not an indication of how this team is doing because Illinois is so bad. Today at least, this team needs to measure its performance by the standard it sets for itself, and apparently Coach Meyer feels they are not living up to that so far today.

I, for one, take comfort in the fact that Coach Meyer is out there not takin' 'er easy and enjoyin' the big win.

What's going to come of Mark May's career when we win the first 3 College Football playoffs?

Is he going to protest Braxton's Heisman next year? Or Dontre's the year after?

How is he going to handle Saban's move to USC?

I'm worried for the man.

Yeah on pace to win 70-28 againsta top 25 passing offense while missing two starters on D.

So disappointing.

Seriously?

Illinois averages 289 yards of passing offense (#26) and 136 yards rushing offense (#95), and 29.7 points per game--against a schedule that has included some very weak teams.

Today, they are on-schedule to get 308 yards passing, 76 yards rushing, and 28 points.

As we just heard, Daddy is not at all happy. That locker room is rocking right now.

My wife even commented today that it has to be tough for he team to play inspired when the competition is so wanting. I think it goes to your point here of the performance standards the team sets for itself, as well as, players individual goals.

I want to be there to see it. Then, I want to replay the TD without a full complement on the field against Pitt. Screw him.
