Listen "Bye Week #2: Optimism Restored for Illini Football"

On this episode I recap the end of the women's soccer season and a rough stretch for Illini volleyball (3:13). I'm then joined by Brandt Dolce of TheChampaignRoom.com to review Illini football's blowout win over Rutgers (13:32). We reset the program's expectations as they enter their second bye week (22:12) and discuss what "good enough" looks like (32:07). We break down the numbers from Saturday's win and examine the historical significance of Illinois' success under Bret Bielema (48:14).
Finally, we look at the latest Big Ten standings (66:50), discuss the conference's key Week 11 matchups (69:05), and chat about the Illini's postseason prospects (76:30).
