I could argue that Randy chose the best approach against Wagner. Uconn had the superior team. The fumble, INT and botched 4th down was a 28 point swing. Playing conservative backfired because of the turnovers.
This week things are different. I’d like to see us attempt to keep them off balance. It’s not the best team that wins. It’s the team that plays the best. Being ultra conservative would be like not even trying to win. And that is unexceptionable.

I agree with this and it speaks to how much RE2.0 is really RE1.1. The problem is, you can't play with that philosophy AND mistake your way into 28 point negative swings. Mistake free, I think UConn has a good chance to surprise Illinois.

UConn Game Notes for Illinois (UConn YTD stats begin on pg16)
 
Can we win? Sure. Will we? Don't know. But let's say for entertainment purposes you had to make one mandatory wager on the money line from one of the major sites. Would you be more comfortable laying $1600 on Illinois to win $100--or--laying $100 on UConn to win $912? Asking for a friend.

Is that even a question?
 
What time do the tailgates open for this game? Is it bad if I show up at 9am? I need to be heavily intoxicated for this matchup.

You need talent too, just saying. We know you are not an Edsall guy, but this is on everyone not just the coaches but the players too

This is Edsall's 3rd year. He's working his own recruits into the system. We should see marked improvement this year, especially on defense. No excuses; get it done.
