Awesome.  That means yall are doing things to win games week in and week out.

 

Lincoln used to be a super tough place to play, but not so much over the years.  

 

Yall should be a road favorite me thinks.

 

Hope you enjoy the game and the rest of the year.  No offense, I hope it's a fun game for all of us, and the Huskers find a way to win   But I am not holding my breath.  

 

Wouldn't expect any less. I always hope for no injuries both ways. Good luck the rest of the way except for next Sat.

Thank you.  And yes you should feel like the better team going into the game.

 

Can I ask, is the 6-1 start a happy shock?  Like, what was your outlook for Illinois this year?

 

So far yall playn lights out

Absolute shock. Many were thinking 7 wins.any are still waiting for the other shoe to drop but the boys are passing test after test. Every game someone was saying yeah but wait until and when that until came we seemed to do better than the last wait until.

Cool.  Do yall feel like yall gon win this game?

 

Just curious..

I think we feel pretty confident about the game based off the past few.

Based off your Purdue game, most feel we should be able to do what we want on offense. We are getting our 2nd best RB, McCray, back and he is our thunder to Chase's lightning. DeVito looked like the real deal against Minnesota, who I feel like were selling out to stop Chase and DeVito made them pay.

Our biggest concern is redzone offense. Coming away with 3 too often. Many believe getting McCray back will help there. Play calling seems odd down there too. Have done a good job of ball protection other than Indiana when we had 4 TOs.

That Minnesota game didn't seem that close while watching it. Felt like we dominated the game start to finish. They had one offensive drive that defeated our defense, the other TD came off a long KO return to the 1.

Your QB will need to get the ball out of his hands QUICK if our past games are any indication. I feel like the Indiana game woke up our defense. They struggled some in the 1st half, dominated the 2nd half, gave up a 75 yard drive to lose the game when we backed off of our pressure coverage, we haven't backed off since, it feels like. I think it showed them they can dominate a game and pissed them off.

Sorry for the long post. Came just to see how others view us and I enjoy reading others message boards.

If you are the same I would suggest Illinoisloyalty.com

He has his work cut out for him.  The rest of the WRs have to step up also.  What is the other corner like?  Are teams targeting that side because this guy is so good?

He is ranked 16th in the country according to:

He also was selected as a Sporting News Mid-Season All-American.
