Kraft Bowl: 5 keys
December 30, 2011 8:14 PM
Will the Illini miss Jason Ford?
Not if Troy Pollard and Donovonn Young are able to hold up. Ford didn't have the senior season many expected, then topped it off by missing the bowl because of academic reasons. Pollard had the best year of his career and Young got off to a promising start. Offensive coordinator Jeff Brohm will also have some tricks up his sleeve at the position. Don't be surprised if one of the guys goes over 100 yards for the game. Both are capable of gashing a UCLA defense that isn't very strong against the run or pass.
