** 2021 Opponent Previews : Illinois (Game 1) **

[JJ Husker]

An easy 14 pt win 
 

14 point lead going into the fourth. They have only one possession and we practice clock management. Take a knee at their 10 as time expires. 

I’d really like to see the bold.

Ha! I should have said “effective clock management”

After some of recent years clock management, even practicing any would be an improvement  :lol:

I'm surprised they did it then.  We had some pretty good teams back then.

This was the Red Grange era.

This was the Red Grange era. 

We were 11-5 over those two years and beat the 4 horsemen.

 Illinois has their press conferences setup so you can actually hear the questions being asked. What a concept! And what a contrast in styles comparing Bielema and Frost in their press conferences.

I think we get a win in Illinois. Their secondary is young and not deep at all. If Adrian can get the ball to guys, we can expose them here. Also they're def gonna be leaning on running with their deep backfield and lean receivers room. Excited to see our D-line be a factor in the first game. 

Bielema will build Illinois. It's just gonna take a little bit. He can coach in the Big Ten.

Illini fans are starting to get a little confident about this game.
