Is this line UCLA -10? Illinois outplayed Missouri, and has had another 2 weeks of practice to get the juco's and freshman on the same page. UCLA's backup (now starting QB) was just arrested as well. I havn't really looked at UCLA/Col results but I like Illinois here initially.
Either way. Illinois should keep this close. The Missuori game was really mis-leading. The Illini had twice as many yards as Missouri and dominated that game.
I wouldn't be surprised if Illinois comes away with a win.
Thanks for the clarification, I saw the headline but was busy with something else. Should be noted, Illinois did play last week - but it was non D1, still a good tune up for this one.
