TCR Staff Predictions: Illinois vs. Purdue
Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports Stephen Cohn: Purdue 31, Illinois 13
I struggle to feel good about this one. Nothing Illinois had last week gave me a ton of hope that this season is going to go well, and until I’m proven wrong I think I’m going to be negative. And I don't like doing that, but do we have a choice?
Too many question marks at this point in the season, when most other Big Ten teams seem to have an identity. Is BP going to throw? Is BP going to run? Will the RB run? How are we using tight ends? Can the secondary stop anyone? Is Blake Hayes the team’s best player for the fourth year in a row?
Prove me wrong, otherwise it’s a three-score loss and the loss of the Cannon at home.
