WHAT IF: BSU beats Illini?
How do the two match up?
Might this be a shootout game of last man standing wins?
MAC really has no signature wins OOC this year.

Plenty of humbling losses by MAC in games OCC requires a measure of some redemption.

This could be a trap game for Illinois.. but most likely not since they have lost 2 straight (see Wisky vs us last week). BSU certainly has the respect of Zook & Co. He called Davis "one of the best QB's in the midwest." That does not bode well for the Illini as the secondary is their weak link.

The Illini will be able to run all day on Ball State but they might use this game to work on a few things (ie the passing game) and as a result it could be a close game.

Ball State won't have a problem putting points on the board though.

Illini 42
Balls Tate 24

I don't see BSU winning this game, but god that would be awesome! Put those motherfers in their place.

Illinois 59
