I don't know about scared, but their offense looks like it can give us fits. Illinois runs a spread and can throw it around a bit. Last year's game we got a bit lucky that their starting QB (Wes Lunt) was out and their backup made his first start. And the interim coach has to be a better head coach than Beckman.
Eh, we'll see. I'd be more worried about their spread offense if it had the athletes to make it productive. This is still a team that has finished near the bottom of the Big 10 in recruiting the last few years and hasn't had a player drafted since 2013
For 80% of the game, NU was getting wiped the field by Miami. Also, the source of the program disarray was fired a week before the season started.
I recall people saying the same crap about Minnesota, saying they didn't have a chance in hell, taking Kill's team lightly...and then we've dropped two in a row to them. Hopefully people will remember this before we get the stupid-as-all-hell 'WE'RE GONNA KICK X TEAM'S a$$' threads going this year.
70-31 was a beat-down. Alabama ran all over Wisconsin's D after their all-conference safety got knocked into the next century. Hard to say where they are without their tailback and we won't know for a few more weeks until they start conference play, but their QB is improving and the receivers have started to step up. Their coach was the architect behind some of their tremendous offenses under that clown in Arkansas. He turned Tolzien into an NFL backup and finished off Wilson's development. Their QB now is a different player than he was last year when he nearly quit after losing the job to their new 2-way threat.
