- For all the talk/angst of restructuring the D, lets face it we played two of the top offenses in the country and competed with them. Penn State is going to score a lot of points, and Mizzou is going to score even more. Michigan is not in the same universe as either of those offenses. If we can hold the Wolverenes to under 20. We win. I think it will happen.
- Offense- we are due for a game where we put it all together, run, pass, game plan and execution. Michigan's D is good up front, but I am not impressed with their secondary. Wisconsin's QB is bad- Scott Weaver bad. If that guy can make a play anywhere, the Badgers win going away. Plus Bret Beilma is Lou Tepper with a bigger cushion. Mark my words.
- So we have Michigan, all puffy from a gift from the Badgers, and we have the Illini reeling from a game with PSU, in an electric atmosphere where 98% of BCS teams would lose. This is a game where the good isnt as good as it seems and the bad isnt as bad. The fact that Michigan is favored + 2.5 shows the power of the Michigan name, and discounts how god awful they have been prior to the second half of last week. This line is totally mispriced.
- The Big House will seem like Dyche Stadium compared to Beaver Stadium. This is the week Illinois puts it together, the Illini are way oversold.
- Special teams is the area that needs to step up, most notably kickoff coverage. If we continue to have breakdowns here, all bets are off. You cant give up any more momentum changing kickoff returns. Zook needs to fix this NOW!!!!
Prediction: Illini 31 Wolverenes 17
