Scouting - Illinois football

[qng001]

Short highlight of Illinois vs Charleston Southern (a very bad FCS school).

[hookdown]

It should also be noted that their starting QB, Scheelhaase, did not play on Saturday.

How VERY STRANGE ! ! !

Not even one of those players lost his helmet on any of the highlight plays.

Strength against strength and weakness against weakness. This is going to be pretty interesting.

This is one of a handfull of games that doesn't have a line on it yet. What are the Sagarin rankings for us/them?

There is no line on the game yet because the status of illinois starting qb is not known.

[Bigdog13]

Sagarin is still flawed until a few more games are played. I love it once we hit the middle of the season though.

120th in most defenses stats!
Let's hope our passing can pull out the "W" for us this coming Sat.!

Go Bulldogs
