Illinois is a 10.5 chalk heading to play the Gophers.
Before I get into this game allow me to digress back to the Wisconsin game the Illini last played. The Defense of Illinois again has proven it's worth as a top 10 defense.
Last game Illinois gave the badgers the ball at the 2 yard line, the 30 the 39 and the 45 resulting in 28 points. Wisky had 7 drives to start from their own territory and did not score.
Combine that with 5 fumbles (one lost) and 3 interceptions this defense managed to hold the badgers to 214 yards below their average on yards allowed.
ON TO THE GAME
Minny is playing for pure pride and has been a thorn in the side of Illinois for a while in key games.
Illinois is in a tail spin and they must right the ship. Can they save Coach Zooks job winning this game moving to 7-5 with a bowl win possible?
Can they do that against a soft minny defense?
