ESPN - Illinois defining game - Indiana

[OpenWheels]

Couldn't decide on which recent thread to stick this. Seems about right and a little obvious but still fun to see our name anywhere . I don't think Illinois is going to be next year's Indiana though... , they aren't starting from nearly zero like we were.

ESPN Top 25 - Games that will define season.

#13 Illinois --> at Indiana

#17 Indiana --> at Oregon (and Illinois at home)

The Illinois game is huge. They return a lot of good players, we will need to gel fast. Assuming we are decent, I would guess the line is a PK or something like that.

As for next year's "Indiana," preseason ranked Illinois coming off a 10-3 season with a great win over South Carolina is not comparable as we all know.

Gonna be a very tough game. I don't like the guy but Bielema can coach.

Jump on them early. Stay on them for 60 minutes. Foot on the throat. I’d love to see a massive beatdown to (kinda) make up for that run-up-the-score against a hapless opponent and laugh your fat ass off the field stunt he pulled a few years back.

He always reminded me of one of those weeble wobble toys.

Memorial Stadium will be rocking when that game rolls around!! Indiana needs to make a statement right then and there on how good they are.

Cignetti will have Indiana ready, take that to the bank.

Auburn/OK stands out to me because the OU QB transferred to Auburn. If we are both still undefeated then it will be 2 top 15 teams in Bloomington. That's a very good game to pick and they had a great time in Bloomington last season. McAfee will also be barking for that game because he'd much rather drive down from Indy than have to fly across the country.
