Illinois at Oregon, Saturday, October 26th, 2:30pm CT, CBS

Oregon has only played 2 ranked teams and those are also the only decent teams they've played so far...and they barely squeaked by those 2 teams. Pass me the Orange Kool-Aid, I'm drinking it!

27-23 Good Guys!!

This's a Xavier Scott game. Play defense like we did against Kansas with a slight extra blitz, and we'll get those int's against Gabriel!! I think we can move the ball against their defense... I-L-L

So our fighting Illini get to square up with #1 team in college football. Saturday in Eugene, show up, blowup, their dreams.

Illinois Football is 3-12 vs #1 all time. The wins-

1950 vs Ohio St
1956 vs Mich St
2007 at Ohio State - also the last game vs #1

That game against OSU in 2006 was a real canary in the coal mine for the following year. We played them tough, and would have had a chance to drive for the tying score if not for the screwy change of possession clock rules they tried out that season.

Hopefully we run the barge!!

Seriously though I liked seeing that we ran a midline zone read. If we are having trouble blocking the interior dl lets trap block them or zone read them.
