No shot with a true freshmen QB

I got illini +9.5 last night. Dante Moore ready? Bye week refreshed boogie? Heard rumor it opened at 12.5 for sharps.

Great weather, are we BTN tailgate broadcast?

Oregon. -8.5 @ Illini o/u 51. 2pm BTN - redgrange77 October 19, 2026, 19:02:29

Moore officially out. Also Stewart. Platt listed as probable for us. - tvillini 6 hours ago
- If they hadn’t pulled it out at last second against Nebraska, this would be a dead team coming in - OB25 5 hours ago
Oregon could probably play 22 of their Rudys and still win by 21* - bbonb October 20, 2026, 17:43:33

To quote Cignetti,” kcuf it, pray for Oregon.” (nm) - Waka October 20, 2026, 11:53:36
I feel gutted for Katin, who was very good... but also part of me - ijustkrushalot October 20, 2026, 09:54:50
- Soph Altmyer was slow reading the defense and in his decision making - CanHartlebHireSnider October 20, 2026, 10:20:09
  - We very possibly would be 5-1 with Altmyer at QB. Houser was bad against Purdue and the Duke game - Orangeillini October 20, 2026, 11:21:45
    - I would disagree with that but my post didn’t mention Altmyer either of the last two years* - CanHartlebHireSnider October 20, 2026, 11:32:09
    - Maybe I'm misremembering but I feel like the Duke game was on the coaches, not on Houser.* - ATL October 20, 2026, 11:22:48
      - he did not play well in the 2H - illiniranger October 20, 2026, 13:18:05
        
        He didn’t play well, but I’d struggle to blame him for the final turnover on downs… - OB25 October 20, 2026, 13:21:14
        
        It was a 6 play drive, that’s not how it went. - illiniranger October 20, 2026, 15:48:25
      - Houser missed the one TD in the 1st half that took 4 points off the board, but otherwise… - OB25 October 20, 2026, 11:38:07
        
        Houser also threw an interception with 7 minutes left and Duke up by 4 points* - Orangeillini October 20, 2026, 11:41:06
        
        Luke is definitely better off script - CanHartlebHireSnider October 20, 2026, 11:39:38
        
        They definitely have different strengths so it does probably more or less wash out - OB25 October 20, 2026, 12:19:43
        
        Houser and Altmyer stats are almost identical, except for Altmyer's SO year - illiniranger October 20, 2026, 13:15:33
- i don't know if Clayton will be THE GUY going forward - Gene Parmesan October 20, 2026, 10:10:13
  - These were the first throws he's ever made... let's pump the brakes on takeaways... - uofi1998 October 20, 2026, 11:00:09
    - yeah on a few throws they were close to being picked - ECEIllinois October 20, 2026, 11:23:37
    - Agree, this year has become more interesting with Clayton. Houser is obviously better - Warrin'_Illini October 20, 2026, 11:16:33
  - unrelated but the name Clayton always makes me think of Saving Silverman - IlliniSax05 October 20, 2026, 10:26:11
  - i think we will keep going with short term rental QBs - illiniranger October 20, 2026, 10:24:46
    - If, and I stress if, Clayton proves himself over the final 6 games... - uofi1998 October 20, 2026, 11:02:12
    - yeah, i'm sure we will. - Gene Parmesan October 20, 2026, 10:56:56
    - I think it's the best move unless you can land on a prep recruit - ijustkrushalot October 20, 2026, 10:52:20
      - the problem with "if he looks mid" is that he is a FR and he is going to look mid - illiniranger October 20, 2026, 13:11:38
I think we have a small shot - ijustkrushalot October 20, 2026, 09:33:58
- TIL: Akili Smith Jr. is Oregon's fourth quarterback* - IlliniOllie October 20, 2026, 09:39:35

Yeh it was 12.5 yesterday so they must be thinking Moore still isn’t playing?* - OB25 October 19, 2026, 19:15:17
- If we keep the loss under double digits, I'd be surprised, even without Moore or Stewart - ibdoc October 20, 2026, 08:41:44
  - west coast B1G teams play like shit when they come east and vice versa - illiniranger October 20, 2026, 10:15:40
