This game has been announced as a 3:30 ET start - that's 2:30 in Champaign if you're going to the game.

Looks like another ABC-Regional/ESPN mirror telecast.

I'll be there. I'm so happy that it is a 2:30 game. those 11 am kickoffs are rough.

What kind of gameplan do you guys see in this game?

Really hope Braxton is fully healed and playing.

 

[k2onprimetime]

If Braxton plays, we got this. Boom is going to make the running game alot better. The silver bullets will rebound. Mark it down. Ill bet all of my Vbucks we win as long as Braxton plays. Suck it zooker, were coming to spoil your season

I don't think we use those things.

So is anyone else confident about this game assuming Miller is healthy?

 

[BUCKDUBBS007]

I would LOVE to say that I am quite confident about this game. I would also LOVE to say I cannot wait to expose Illinois' overrated #16. Sadly, I cannot sanely issue either of those two statements.

If Miller is healthy, I am confident. If Boom gets the start at RB, I would move Hall as a slot receiver. Anything to help out the young receivers.

Time to bounce back Buckeyes. I hope this past weeks loss doesn't have a lingering effect

 

[MAINEiac Buckeye]

I think I'm gonna buy the I-player for this one. As has been said, with Boom in and at least a semi healthy Brax (and Kenny G in the mix as back up/rotation) I see a win here.

Well, it's not like we exactly DOMINATED you guys. Two plays changed the entire game last Saturday. You guys were kicking the crap outta both lines, and had folks booing their beloved team in the stadium. You'll be fine.

Before that, we were Joker and you guys were Hartmann:

Miller is going to start...

http://www.buckeyextra.com/content/...iller-listed-as-starter-against-illinois.html

Braxton Miller is listed as the starter against Illinois on the Ohio State depth chart, a sign that his sprained right ankle is healing quickly.
The freshman quarterback was having the best game of his young career against Nebraska on Saturday when he was injured on a tackle by linebacker Sean Fisher with 4:45 left in the third quarter. Miller did not return as Nebraska rallied from a 21-point deficit to win 34-27.

Miller completed 5 of 8 passes for 95 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jake Stoneburner. Miller also ran for 91 yards in 10 carries.
Senior Joe Bauserman, who began the year as the starter, replaced Miller and struggled badly. He completed only 1 of 10 passes and was intercepted once.

Kenny Guiton has been the third-string quarterback, but it is expected that he will get more reps in practice.
