SHELL / Maryland FootballIllinois is a run-first, ball-control team that leans heavily on the ground game in favorable situations and tightens the run rate even further when protecting a lead. Their offense is productive above average at 0.26 PPA per play and converts third downs at a solid 44.9 percent clip, making them a team that can sustain drives. Defensively they are a bend-but-hold unit that limits explosives but does surrender chunk passing plays at a 54.7 percent pass-faced rate.

SHELL / Maryland FootballDrive for drive: what Illinois does with the ball, next to what their defense gives up. Points per drive are estimated from the drive result (touchdown counts as seven, field goal as three). Everything here is computed from real CFBD drive data.
SHELL / Maryland FootballIllinois defense sees a pass-heavy diet at 54.7 percent of opponent plays, suggesting teams have decided to attack them through the air. They limit explosive plays well at only 9.8 percent allowed, but they do surrender conversions at a 46.2 percent third-down rate.
Illinois runs the ball as their identity anchor at 51.2 percent overall, spiking to 56.9 percent on first down and 61.9 percent when holding a 7-plus point lead. They will throw when they have to, going pass 83.6 percent on third and long, but they want to stay ahead and stay on the ground.

SHELL / Maryland FootballHow the man calling it for Illinois thinks on fourth down, drawn from every fourth-down snap his offense has taken this season.
