3PM Central on Sept 20th

If you want to see the game:

Game will be shown on ESPNNews..

I will be watching and rooting on the SBC, beat the B1G, they are a horrible conference this year.

Another game on ESPN gets the SBC exposure. I don't know how we'll match up but I do hope we give a good game. They already think they are going to have a cake walk.

Their pre-season prediction was 56-14

WKU should have beat them but we had to many stupid mistakes late in the game. Illinois looked pretty good though. They have a nice QB and some pretty good slot receivers. TX State could beat them but its going to take your best shot IMO

Having been raised a Big-10 girl, it feels somewhat odd to root against them until this year. The only exception was the App St game with UM. I've always hated UM! Go get them, TXST!!!!

wku looked like they might win. they looked quicker than the illini. I think it is a winable game but will take a good effort, no mistakes, good offensive game plan. they will be fired up after being yelled at all week by their coaching staff.

Another game on ESPN also gets us exposure. Four nationally televised games on the ESPN family of channels is amazing considering that we are only in our third season at the FBS level.

Back-to-back Saturday games on ESPN News is going to be fun. Hopefully we will represent the school and the SBC well against the Navy this weekend and against the Illini the following weekend.

Illinois WR's are tough, their outside WR's are tall and catch anything thrown close and the inside guys are fast and speedy even the one white dude they have...He looked like Wes Welker against us(Dudek)....If you give their QB all day to throw it will be a long day...We were not able to put pressure on him in the 4th quarter and he picked us apart.....You can score on their defense as their are some gaps to take advantage of, good luck and hope they are not as up as they were vs WKU...Looked like they were not happy coming off a poor performance vs. the Penguin's when they took the field against us....I think a natural let down can be had as they face you guys...

Illinois beat a tough WKU team late but they are beatable. Good luck bobcats.

Looks as if someone on Illinois team can block.

That's UTSA blocking there.

Washington is exposing them this week, should be helpful tape for us.
