In this LIVE postgame reaction, Sunny Verma and Big Kurt break down Illinois’ frustrating 45–27 loss to Washington, where the Illini offense battled but the defense simply never gave them a chance.

🏈 Postgame Topics Include: Why the defense completely fell apart against the Huskies Aaron Henry’s struggles as defensive coordinator — is it time for a change? Why Luke Altmyer and Cole Rusk were the lone bright spots on offense Offensive line improvement and run blocking finally showing progress Frustration with play-calling and clock management before halftime Why Illinois’ offensive line is peaking just as the defense regresses Should Terrance Jamison quietly take over play-calling duties? The conversation Illini fans are having right now: has Aaron Henry run out of chances? Evaluating Bret Bielema’s postgame comments and body language Realistic expectations for the rest of the season (Rutgers, Wisconsin, Northwestern)
