Game Eleven: Ohio State at Illinois (Nov. 15, TBA)
Revenge for a 2007 home loss while ranked #1 should allow tOSU to get motivated for the Illini, even with The Game coming a week later.

Historically, Illinois has played OSU very tough throughout the recent years. For whatever reason, OSU has lost to these guys, when (mostly their LBs) come up big, and their offensive guys catch fire. Don't know why, but even last year, their QB, who had more Int's than TD's, lit up a pretty darn good backfield for 4 Td's. And made a pretty darn good defense look like a Junior High team. C'mon, Zook isn't that good an X and O er, that he could remember what happened 5-7 years ago and scheme out what he did........
Focus is what is needed and execution. Let Gibson 'spy' on Juice, and Freeman and Laurninitis will clean up on any run play. The Buckeyes should be overwhelming to the Illini, especially with them losing Mendenhall and J Leman, both of which were the heart and souls of the O and D.......45-14.

I say we do to Illinois what we have been doing to Northwestern. Open up a can of whoop ass and put up 50+ points.

I don't know what it has been, but their defense has given us fits the past two years. They don't shut us down, but rather force us into making mistakes.

BTN is playing the 2007 Illinois game now on TV. It hurts to watch again, but we'll get the ugly orange this year. No dancing on the block O this year. Period.

Tressel won't stand for it. Just because Illinois acted like punks doesn't mean we have to. We'll let our game shut their asses up...
