The Illini are heading to Happy Valley to take on the bruised squad from Penn State.
Penn State is battle tested with games against # 1 Bama and # 8 Iowa this year.
Illinois is coming off a good game vs # 2 Ohio State.
State has the # 18 Defense in the land (total defense) yards allowed at 290
Illinois is climbing the charts at a respectable # 37 only allowing 322
This Illinois team is really playing some good defense and the secondary has come to life picking off Pryor twice last game. (Pryor of Ohio State is really a poor passer with pressure this will haunt OSU in a big game)
The Illini also have a secret weapon it's called the Punter, this kid is # 2 in the nation at 49 yards a kick. Illinois punts allot and look for them to send Penn State deep in their own territory to start the next drive and back to the Illini Defense.
This is going to be a Defensive War with both teams having Superior Running backs, something has got to give in this game.
I see this 14-13 PSU wins a nail bitter. Illinois has a real shot a winning this game straight up but do not think it will happen. Illinois has never won at Happy Valley.
Kick off is 11am which beats a 7pm WHITE OUT crowd favoring Illini factoring in the 12th man.
