Give you a few things:
PSU really hasn't played anyone yet. They caught OSU early before they hit their stride. So if they can get tested early expect a close game throughout. Illinois played OK in a tough environment earlier in the season though the final score was closer then the game really played out. But that should prepare them for the PSU crowd. Illinois had an extra week to prepare for this game and has good balance on Offense that should allow them to move the ball which hopefully will equate to enough points to stay w/in the number. Like the fact that coming in Illinois has not played very inspiring ball lately so perception is they get rolled here. But in reality the quality of schedule dictated a little lull in their emotion particularly coming off the Missouri game. They return a relatively experienced bunch that stayed w/in this number every game last year w/the exception of the USC bowl game and including the Mizzou game this year. So they play 4 quarters so can't rule out the backdoor if need be. This bunch also played well on the road last season.
Good luck says GoGo.
GoGo,
I can't say that I agree with all of your picks but you have a good way of explaining things and you make a lot of sense. You talk much more intelligently than a lot of the morons that disrespect people here to make up for their own lack of balls. They won't post their picks because they know how bad they really are and clearly they are chickenshit, plain as day. That one guy who said he did post his plays somewhere didn't point to where it was when he had the chance so he's lying. I've been here for almost 10 years and it's always been the same thing. I am amazed that the liars and jerks always use the same excuses. It's as if they all went to the same jerk school.
Here, you either put up or you shut up. That's the only rule. That's what separates the real guys from the jerks. Whormoan's a jerk, but every village needs an idiot, so he gets a pass. Everyone else that doesn't post and criticizes is worthless.
You are one of the good guys. I'll be reading your threads more often.
