Illinois has been spry at times this year, but will their injuries stop their dreams of an upset?
While the tour de force #Rosin4Illinois head coaching campaign has been a failure, the Fighting Illini have been able to build on last season's 6-7 record that included sneaking into the Heart of Dallas Bowl. Sure, there's been a lucky bounce or two, but they've definitely made strides -- and on homecoming with their Red Grange tribute uniforms, they feel like everything's going for them before a 2:30 p.m. CT game this Saturday against the Badgers.
When you have a pretty efficient combination of quarterback Wes Lunt and one of sixteen people to average one hundred yards per game catching the ball in wide receiver Geronimo Allison, you definitely have a challenge set up through the air for the player that draws them -- yet his receiving tag team partner Marchie Allison is set to miss the game.
