Some Illini players immediately started playing in the snow after the win. You can see behind JC Davis there is a snowball fight plus multiple players climbing up snow mountain.

Illinois finishes 8–4, which is exactly where I had them before the season. It matters tho, 7 wins would’ve felt like a disappointment heading into a rebuilding year. Still a frustrating season because of the defense. There’s a lot to fix, but the program is still moving in the right direction.
