Illinois Football faces a tough week after a shocking 62-10 loss to Indiana. Join Austin Burklund on the Armchair Illini Podcast as he breaks down and reacts to Head Coach Bret Bielema's latest press conference.

We react to Bielema's comments on the "atrocious" offensive line play , the "abysmal" coverage , and the devastating injury news for secondary leader Xavier Scott, who will miss the majority of the season. With the secondary depleted and a ranked USC team coming to Champaign for Homecoming , can the Illini get back to physical, "Bielema Ball" and pull off an upset?
