Illinois will be able to pound a weak and thin Mizzou front 7 with their veteran OL and read option game. Juice Williams is a much improved passer and will be able to do just enough through the air to keep them honest. Mendenhall is a big time talent at RB. Illinois also has good young depth on defense and will be able to roll enough athletes out there to put up a fight defensively for four quarters.

They are young in some areas but I see the Illini winning a minimum of 7 games this season including this one. Look for them to cash vs Mizzou, Penn St, Wisky and Michigan and win 2 of those games outright.

GL this year Cwood and couldnt agree more about the Illini this year...love Mendenhall......like them against Mizzou as well, line seems funny

Like the Iowa plat as well... nice hit on Wash last night. I had some concerns about the line but I went against the one thought which was coaching... Ty can recuit and he has a lot in that team.

Cheers
