Wow, does Big Ten football in Illinois stink.
I only saw the first quarter of the Illinois-Rutgers game on the tube. Going in, I thought that Rutgers was a trap game for the Illini. Rutgers is a downtrodden Big East team that is improved, and could give the Illini trouble.
Rutgers blew threw Illinois like nuthin'. How is Illinois going to play Ohio State or Iowa? And Rutgers will win the National Championship! OK, probably not. But they made Illinois look slow and small.
The reason I only saw the first quarter was that I took the fam to Northwestern-New Hampshire game. NHU rolled up 300 and some odd yards againt the Northwestern defense. On the pregame radio show on WGN, new coach Pat Fitzgerald kept talking about how he wanted NW to be physical, but it was NHU that took the game to the Big Ten team.
Rutgers creams Illinois, 33-0. Division I-AA team New Hampshire gives Northwestern a beat-down, 34-17. Yesterday was a black day in Illinois football.
