Will the Jackrabbits put up a fight?
Absolutely. As has been pointed out early and often, they played Nebraska close a year ago, losing 17-3. And with players from Illinois on the roster, they will be highly motivated. But the depth of talent won't be as great as what's on the Illinois sideline. Ultimately, barring a rash of turnovers by the Illini, the Jackrabbits will wear down and Illinois will take command in the second half. But there are upsets every year by FCS members. It can happen.
