Losing Malachi Hood to West Virginia is a curveball for Illinois football, especially since he was a starter with two years left to play. His decision to join the Mountaineers—who haven’t been a national contender lately—definitely caught fans off guard.

How do you feel about Hood’s choice, and who do you think should step up for Illinois next season? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Sports #Football #IllinoisFootball
