If our defense can contain Brown, we probably win, but it might not be pretty. On the other hand, I don't think Illinois has faced an Air Raid team all year.
Purdue is probably the closest thing to an Air Raid team they have faced. Illinois did OK against them holding them below their norms in a home game for them but they allowed 31 points and lost.
Illinois looks similar to us scheme wise on defense. They like to blitz and confuse you. We'll see how they play us- blitz us or go zone?

Illinois DC, Ryan Walters is from the Barry Odom coaching tree. Coached under him at Memphis and Missouri.

Maybe Adidas will come up with a MSU version of the Old School Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniforms for the game?
Maybe it would be something to wear strangely different colors for this one game only?

Did not know that. Makes me think we may see rush 3 drop 8?

We played them in 1980 in Champaign and won 28-21 when I was a senior in high school. My bff reminded me about that game. Both of his parents were Illinios alums.

I suspect we will see a Barry Odom scheme / game plan to at least start the game.

Many were in Vaught years when they wouldn't play bama and were winning at least 10 Better Homes and Gardens and Southern Living National Championships. Betty Crocker had the deciding vote in both polls!*****

Knowing their track record, they probably had to vacate 15 of them.**
