The potential return of Reggie Corbin should give the Illini offense some life, but it’s the defense that we’re all much more concerned about. After a solid game against Minnesota, the Illini defense was gashed last week in Lincoln. Missed assignments and an inability to shed blocks have doomed the Illinois defense all year, and I see that trend continuing this weekend against Iowa. Iowa 48; Illinois 31

This will sound like a line Tim Beckman would say, but here it goes: If the Illini didn’t drop all of those passes and muff two punts against Nebraska, we’d actually have been right there with Cornhuskers.
