Man....even in your devil's advocate scenarios, Illinois covers.DaddyBigBucks;954899; said:[devil's advocate]Illinois' defense is nothing to write home about. They could give up 20 points to air. So they just might give up 15-17 points to Iowa.
Iowa's defense has been not-so-great, but not nearly as bad as their offense. And Iowa's defense seems to be built like a typical Iowa defense; stout against the run, not so much against the pass. On the surface, this seems to be a less than horrific match-up vs. Illinois, who is near the bottom of the league in passing efficiency. They might hold the Illini to 21 points or so.[/devil's advocate]
If I put v$ on this game though, it will probably be on Illinois. The Hawkeyes don't appear to have the speed to deal with the Illini option game.
