I have numerous questions about why this game is actually happening with indications pointing toward increasing COVID-19 cases on the Ohio State team. BUT I can’t see any potential absences greatly altering the outcome of this one if it does indeed get played. 2005 basketball is back, but 2007 football isn’t.

I have no idea how good Illinois football is. I could be convinced that the Illini are a top five team in the Big Ten. I could also be convinced that they are one of the two worst.
