I think Cumberland is gonna be the secret weapon today.
I got a good feeling. Juice looked great passing the ball the last 3 games. And moving Cumberland to wide receiver was a great move. Kid is a ton faster than I thought he was, and capable of big plays. And I don't think they are going to be keying on him. 14 is definitely an inflated line, but I'm not going huge on it. Good luck.Best case scenario is Mendenhall and Juice have success running the ball and Juice isn't asked to put the ball in the air often, but Zook would be wise to get Benn 8-10 touches, whether it's quick screen passes, an end-around, direct snap etc.
14 is too many points.
I like Illini first half the best. When was the last time Illinois started slow? And USC usually doesn't show up until the 2nd half.
