@jwerner247.bsky.socialTomislav Ivisic & Jake Davis are key pieces of #illini's high-floor rotation. They're also torchbearers of Brad Underwood's "Everyday guy" culture as rarities: third-year players in the program. "No two better guys to lead the way." On their impact ⤵️

@jwerner247.bsky.socialThe #illini defense took a significant step in Camryn Crocker’s first season as defensive coordinator. What’s in store for Year Two?
Illinois will aim for more “disciplined aggression.”
“I think we're trying to be a little more aggressive.”

@andrewdeffley.bsky.socialUPDATE: As of today (post-Week 6 of CFB slate), the #Illini are now up to 86th in FBS Red Zone Touchdown Rate (60%), and t-119th in Red Zone Scoring Rate (75%).
Remember they were t-88th and t-129th, respectively, this time last week, as stated below.
@andrewdeffley.bsky.socialPS I must give all respect and admiration to these #Illini players. I see no giving in in the face of adversity, and no giving up as we enter a much-needed off-week in what they must truly find to be a horrendously disappointing season.
Probably a testament to the culture built by Coach B, as well.

@andrewdeffley.bsky.social#Illini currently a poorly coached team with ill-preparedness stemming back the entire offseason.
But when I only saw two “Should-be” wins coming into 2026 (UAB, SIU), I’ll celebrate this MSU win like it’s our last (bc it actually might be).
I choose to be happy with 3-3 the next two weeks!
