...and also the rest of the Big Ten's games for the last weekend of our season.
Does anyone else dread this game every year? It seems like it rarely helps us (exception: 2000), and sometimes we get hammered (um...last year, anyone?). So, I am concerned, especially as we go in without any running backs and or half our defensive line.
There are promising things though. Nate Williams has really stepped in well for Malcom Arrington, and Prince Kwateng has carried A LOT of the weight for that LB corps. Stephen Simmons has shown a couple flashes, and C.J. had a great 3rd quarter last weekend.
So, let's just pick this game and then look a the 4 others of note in our conference. The Cats are coming in as 3-point underdogs. Yeah, really. I don't know. Seing how it's senior day and we have, I think, 23 seniors, I'm picking Northwestern 33, Illinois 10.
Let's go Cats!
Around the conference, I think we're rooting for PSU and OSU to win. That might get two Big Ten teams into the BCS again. That would leave us tied with MSU for 3rd in the Big Ten (should we win). Then, we want Minnesota to beat Iowa for "Floyd of Rosedale." Right? So that we stay two games ahead of Iowa?
Oh yeah and never has the Old Oaken Bucket seemed so meaningless. I love the Indiana-Purdue rivalry, but this is so a nothing game this year. le sigh.
