#1 Illinois taking on MSU!!

[Turfzilla]

So, asside from being the most underrated #1 team in the last 10 years , Illinois has past test after test to prove they are the best... Michigan State will be the biggest test of the season. Who wins at MSU?

And the OT victory against Iowa WASN'T a challenge?

Not to take anything away from MSU, but I'm torn over whether or not this is the biggest challenge of the season. Going up against Wake Forest earlier in the year gets serious consideration for a few reasons:

Wake is still regarded as better than MSU
High exposure Big Ten/ACC challenge game - which heavyweight is better?
Illinois was the underdog and had something to prove
Lack of time to "gel" under Coach Weber

On the other hand, MSU might be the biggest challenge because:

The game is at MSU (95-6 over last 7 yrs)
Rivals always bring their "A" game
MSU can pretty much kiss the Big Ten championship goodbye if they lose
Pressure of a perfect season for Illini

I still think Illinois will win. Oskee-wow-wow

Before every game the Chicago Tribune says that the Illini are going to lose. :thumbsdown:

 

[Albis]

go Illinois!

Wow I'm surprised how many Illini fans there are here. That game Saturday was such a blast with Henson back and all the other people. With the way we've played the last two games, I think a win tomorrow is very possible. However, a loss wouldn't surprise me either since it's going to be hard to keep the emotion up for three big games in eight days.

This is where the Illini get their first loss. Go Spartans!

 

[Random Variable]

Errr...Illinois won by 13 points. I guess no one cares.

 

[Sukhoi]

I do! Can't wait for the Hall to be rocking on Sunday!!
