I drank too much of the koolaid and hoped Illinois would step on the gas last week. With the way the defense is playing, Illinois will get to a 2-3 score lead and coast. Michigan State struggles against the run, so I think Chase will go after his Heisman and break off some big runs for touchdowns. I’m back to my original take. 3 touchdowns and 1 field goal to put it away. Add two more garbage time field goals as Illinois takes the foot off the gas after the 3rd TD. Illinois puts itself 1 game away from securing the west in front of a sellout home crowd on Dad’s Day.
Our writers expect Illinois to handle MSU for win No. 8
