No, it’s not a basketball game: #9 Illinois (3-0) vs #19 Indiana (3-0) (7:30PM ET, NBC)

[TrueOrange]

These two have met 73 times…but I’m not sure if they’ve ever met in a matchup where both teams were ranked?

Currently 0-0 midway through the first.

 

[TrueOrange]

Indiana gets the first points of the game after blocking and returning a punt at the Illinois 33.

Illinois responds with a 59-yard TD pass.

7 all with 8:30 left in the 1st.

 

[TrueOrange]

11-yard TD pass from Mendoza for IU. 14-7 Indiana with 4:41 left in the 1st.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Go Illini!

 

[hUTch2002]

Indiana will get a ton of love from this one of course but I have a feeling it’ll be totally different when they play a team with a pulse away from home, like Oregon.

 

[TrueOrange]

IU scores on an 11 yard TD.

It’s currently 21-7 Indiana with 8:36 left in the game.

 

[TrueOrange]

When’s the last time the Hoosiers upset a top 10 ranked team in football? I’m presuming they’d rush the field over this if the game continues this way.)

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

First match up between both teams being ranked in 75 years.

 

[TrueOrange]

Geez Indiana.

43 yard TD pass. It’s now 28-7 IU and there’s still 6 minutes left until the half.

 

[TrueOrange]

First match up between both teams being ranked in 75 years.

Thank you so much!

I watched Illinois in person. I was not impressed. We would boat race them. They are top 10 according to the # next to their name, but I don’t think they’ll finish that way. Very overrated football team

I feel that statement would hold, yes.

[Switch 625]

Not sure why Illinois was hyped up so much.

 

[TrueOrange]

And they just keep pouring it. 9 yard TD pass. 35-7 IU.

Illinois sneaks in a FG to end the half, but it’s still 35-10 IU.

2020 vs #8 Penn State

Interesting; I’d forgotten about that one.

When’s the last time they did when there were actually fans to storm the field afterward?

 

[UTwild82]

I think Illinois is on fraud alert.

Indiana jumps up into top 15 for sure after this.

 

[TrueOrange]

IU don’t quit. 40 yard TD run to start the 3rd quarter.

42-10 IU

 

[IndianaVol]

That IU defense ain't playing around.

 

[TrueOrange]

Another TD pass.

49-10 IU in the 3rd.

From what I could find their only other win at home vs a top 10 opponent was 1967 vs Purdue

As thought, Illinois was a fraud.

How they got into the T10 is beyond me
