I can give Zook winning at LSU but winning at FSU is not as daunting as it use to be.
The thing again that makes me think
OSU puts this one away 31-10 is that illinois just has NO BALANCE. If the best way to use your best reciever is to run options and reverses with him that doesn't speak highly of the QB's ability to get the recievers the ball under heat. Illinois will have success early, and I'll be sitting here screaming "dammit load the box", but after the first quarter our defense will force Juice Williams to throw the ball and it'll get ugly. We pull away on 140 yards from Beanie and an efficient night from Todd.
Also lets remember last year... In game 10 of last year we got a scare from Illinois much like we did against Wisconsin (atleast we were losing in the late 3rd). What did we do the week after that agianst NW? We came out with a renewed focus and we made sure we got to Michigan week undefeated. Now we do have a tougher team that NW, but we are at home and it's senior night. That same focus will be there and we should be in good condition..
