i don't know if Clayton will be THE GUY going forward

but I also don't think any QB in the room who didn't come along with a hefty NIL check would have been given a fair shake in competition without an injury.

I think Clayton will come down to earth. a couple of his throws were very dangerous and a good D might have picked them off. but it would be great if he showed enough to have the staff comfortable riding with him moving forward, ala Kittner in 98.

is hoping for a John Paddock situation...

Katin also made critical mistakes that cost us games (such as the interception that he deleted himself from the roster on)... It's an extremely small sample size from a freshman, but I've seen Michael Clayton go in and win a game for us. I realize this is likely very divorced from reality.

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?

164

    - Your answer is a program that really has become irrelevant on the national scene - illini222 October 23, 2026, 10:31:52
- oh no* - assassin October 22, 2026, 14:52:31
- Decent chance this is Oregon's get well game* - bjl63 October 22, 2026, 14:49:44
  - I think we get crushed - illini21 October 22, 2026, 19:44:43
    - A blowout is definitely in play. Even with all of the players that they’ve lost - IlliniOllie October 22, 2026, 20:34:56
Moore officially out. Also Stewart. Platt listed as probable for us. - tvillini October 21, 2026, 20:44:23
- If they hadn’t pulled it out at last second against Nebraska, this would be a dead team coming in - OB25 October 21, 2026, 21:04:21
Oregon could probably play 22 of their Rudys and still win by 21* - bbonb October 20, 2026, 17:43:33
If Houser was healthy I honestly think we might win - illini21 October 20, 2026, 09:29:17

  - 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
- 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
