UConn seen as a key match up...

[Woof 101]

Words we have not heard in some time for sure. Nobody of sports world importance but still good to see. Of course he also drops the writing ball thinking Illinois has to fly across the country to get here. (2hr 15min flight)

I guess Illinois won the game...according to him... Excuse me, journalist, but did you know Boise State beat FSU and Georgia State beat Tennessee last week. We could upset you...I hope we will have a good game...

“UConn - This one seems like a landslide win for the Illini. UConn had the worst defense in college football last season and figures to be near the bottom of the FBS landscape again this season. But there's a catch.

Illinois hasn't won a non-conference road game since Sept. 15, 2007 at Syracuse — former Illinois linebacker and Decatur native Brit Miller's 21st birthday. This is an obvious chance to snap that streak, but to do so, Illinois will have to fly across the country for a 2:30 p.m. CT kickoff.

Flying back from Hartford with a loss would be a tough look for a team that's hung its hat on improvement all off-season. A win, however expected it is, is one step closer to the elusive six for the season.”
