@jwerner247.bsky.socialFive games into a retooling year after back-to-back 9+ win seasons, it's clear Bret Bielema's #illini have fallen back into a rut — one created by a disaster of an offseason.
My column after an "embarrassing" homecoming loss to Purdue ⤵️
@jwerner247.bsky.socialBrady Pettigrew has been to #illini several times, but the Illini still resonate strongly with the Composite five-star prospect during his weekend OV.
"You can't really feel more home," Pettigrew said.

@jwerner247.bsky.socialLincoln Williams signed with #illini just a few days before summer workouts began. But the late lottery ticket has big upside and is competing for an early role.
"I pray he becomes a great story, and I think he's on the right track," Brad Underwood said.
@jwerner247.bsky.social#illini hosted JUCO OL Harry Maileoi (@HarryMaileoi02) for an official visit this weekend.
"I love the family vibes," he said.
Maileoi discusses how this official visit came together quickly and his early impressions of Illinois ⤵️
@thumpasaurus.bsky.social3 winning seasons in 4 years for the #illini, yes
But also. 3 winning seasons in 18 years.
We’re much more the latter than the former

@jwerner247.bsky.socialWATCH: #illini coach Bret Bielema discusses a 24-17 loss to Purdue
@kshermansports.bsky.socialSignificant blow to Illinois’ offense.
Valentine finishes the season with 48 carries for 224 yds and a TD. #Illini
@jwerner247.bsky.social#illini Bret Bielema said "we shrunk our menu" down on defense. Mac Resetich thought they were in a coverage they weren't on the 64-yard pass.
"I think we'll continue to make some strides."
@jwerner247.bsky.social#illini Bret Bielema: WR Jayshon Platt practiced a little this week. Hope to get him back this week, if not, out of the bye week.
@jwerner247.bsky.social#illini Bret Bielema: Obviously extremely disappointed. This week was very unique in all my years of doing this. Today's otucome isn't what we want, but I think our guys will learn. It's just been one of those years, man. We're a group that has to learn things the hard way.
@jwerner247.bsky.social#Illini Bret Bielema on radio said RB Ca'Lil Valentine's injury is significant and he won't be returning this season.
@jwerner247.bsky.social#illini Bret Bielema on radio said TE Kaden Feagin was in concussion protocol after hitting his head on routes on air during practice.
@jwerner247.bsky.socialThree takeaways & three stars from #Illini football's 24-17 loss to Purdue
@jwerner247.bsky.social#illini Bret Bielema on radio said the DBs all got together in one room and the linebackers all got together in one room. Cooper led the play-calling but more assistants got involved in the game plan.
