Penn State at Illinois

Penn State will probably end up winning. But I don't think they look that impressive. Running QB is pretty much their entire offense and their defense is giving up a lot of yards.
Haven't watched the game at all, but it's a lot closer than I thought it would be during the third quarter.
Does this, and the first game for that matter, show that Penn State is a significantly different team than last year? I'm genuinely starting to believe we can beat them.

Illinois looks improved. I wouldn’t talk too much crap since Iowa didn’t exactly stop their running game last year when we played em. This is good news for the conference. We need some teams to get up there and shake the order up a little bit every now and then. Personally I get sick of Wisconsin winning all the time. Hopefully Purdue, Nebraska, Northwestern, and Purdue can get up and keep Wisky’s head down for awhile
Wow! The perfectly executed reverse half back pass to put the Illinois up, 24-21 in the 3rd after a LONG drive.
Pretty sure that girl just sexually assaulted that other girl after the touchdown. There should be a pic on Twitter soon...
Outside of Ohio State, who else (besides Iowa) is at all even reasonably scary right now from a general fans perspective? Wisconsin? Michigan? I just have not been impressed by anyone else really.
I hate Penn St, now that Baker Mayfield is in the NFL is there a bigger douche than Mcsorley? Plus Franklin is Jackhole coach.
Keep us posted.
Big Ten as a whole took a major step back this year despite a lot of teams expecting better seasons than last year because of what they returned.
But again, we'll unfortunately just have to wait until bowl season to see just where the Big Ten stands against the other top conferences.
Illinois with one of the most egregious face masks you will ever see to help PSU, and PSU punishes them with a 40-50 yard td run.
Think PSU might be looking ahead to next Saturday's home night game?
The opponent? #4 ranked, THE Ohio State UNIVERSITY

If Iowa wins tomorrow it’s Iowa & Oh St. Then P St the next tier & not much else so far a third of the way through the season.
The guy with his head in the way...Illinois' "bartman"

I’ll I see are NERDS!!!
Aerial view coming off commercial showed the stadium maybe 1/4-1/3 full for a night game against #10 ranked conference foe. Pretty sad.
Illinois is a dorky college. Can’t blame the Chicago kids for wanting to go to a cool party school like Iowa.
Are you talking sad as in Illinois the state, Illinois the school, or Illinois the fan base?
Either way, I agree.
If the season keeps going this way, it might the 2015 schedule look like a beast!

Bowl season does tell us some things, but the regular season tells us a lot as well. We have already seen Purdue lose to Eastern Michigan and Missouri, Nebraska lose to Troy and Colorado, Northwestern lose to Akron and Duke, Wisconsin lose to BYU, Michigan State lose to ASU, Rutgers get crushed by Kansas, Illinois lose to USF and Maryland lose to Temple. The top teams in the Big Ten may do ok in the bowls, but the Big Ten as a whole is looking very weak against teams that are not elite schools. I expected to see Michigan lose to ND, but many of these other games are very surprising to me. Right now, OSU and Iowa have been the only impressive teams so far. Time will tell if that changes.
