I really think that this is a very winnable game for the Illini. Obviously they got handled against North Carolina but outside of that their results have been pretty solid. The Wisconsin running game has been fairly pedestrian and the Illini have a pretty athletic defensive front going against Stave who has been throwing the ball 35+ times a week.
Have to figure that Wes Lunt will be able to put some points on the board against the Wisconsin defense. If Illinois could pull this off everyone in the division would have 2+ conference losses except for the Hawks and Illinois. Illinois would still have Penn State, Ohio State, Minnesota and Northwestern left to pick up a 2nd loss. Would set up great for the Hawks.
