I can guess that sone in "2 things:"

- score more points than them
- hold them to fewer points than us

Okay seriously:

- SOS 60 (ILL) to 53 IRU) per Sagarin
- the Illini are in the same "neighborhood" as us on D (363/game to 389/game)
- Illini have 21 sacks; we've given up 16
- Illini TFL 4.5/game RU tackled for loss 4.3/game

....meh....

- Illini scoring 27.1/game RU 26.3/game
- Illini run for 141 per game....RU for 169/game
- Total O 382 to 357 RU
- identical TO margin
- TOP + 2 per game to RU

....meh...

.....this is as much of a "tossup" as it gets IMHO BUT we're at home, we're finding ourselves on O, and it's Senior Day. Go out there, PLAY FOOTBALL, and WIN THE GAME!!!

Now , the biggest game of the year for us. The level of performance and effort the last two games has been great. If the team comes into the game that way, the chances are good for a win. It would cross the ranked win off the list.
Flying in from Florida for the game. Hope the stadium is rocking.
