Like I said before, Scheelhaase is an absolute freak of an athlete. He can probably dunk a basketball with his feet. He was basically the TP of Missouri HS football. He does not have TP's size, arm strength, or top end speed, but he has more wiggle, and at some point on Saturday, he will attempt to jump over an LB or two. We need to be very physical with him. He's both INT and fumble prone.

Of course, Zook will want to hold him out. In related news, I believe in the Easter bunny...

Somehow I feel a shutout coming on.

If we keep our special teams tight, the defense should do their part. There is no way they aren't fired up and pissed about giving up 20 points, B-Rolle and company will be geared up for this. Could get downright nasty, these guys are badass.

That said, I say 42-0. 28-0 at the half, the remaining 14 coming in garbage time.

GO BUCKS!!!!

Got my tickets off stubhub today, heading down from Chicago. 2nd time in Campaign, 16th away game.

Hoping this team stays the course, they're looking like they won't let these kinds of game slip them up.

They shut them out last year, so why not this year.

I can't believe you guys are so confident. That '08 Illinois class was special. Illinois has become very Miami-esque (Miami earlier 2000s). They're churning out the pro prospects. Illinois has the best talent evaluating staff in the B10 and Zook has shaken the "Great recruiter, bad coach" label and is running a very tight ship. If he'd gotten enough time, he would have been successful in Florida. Right now, there's a LOT of talent on the Illinois defense. They are on the verge of becoming a national power. I mean, we'll see if I'm right. This thread will be around in the next 3-4 days or so. . . by then we'll have an idea of how things are shaping up.

Well, they are after their 2nd consecutive BCSNC and 4th consecutive B10 title...
