Episode Synopsis
Buckeyes Humble Illini: Was the hype real? Illinois, ranked #17, got a harsh reality check against top-ranked Ohio State, losing 34-16 after early turnovers and special teams blunders put them in a hole they couldn't escape. Despite racking up yards, Illinois couldn't crack the Buckeyes' dominant defense, which forced turnovers and shut down key plays. Questionable calls added to the frustration, but self-inflicted errors ultimately sealed the Illini's fate, proving they still have a ways to go to compete with college football's elite.
