I'm hoping Smalling is just week-to-week status. They would have said something by now if it was season ending right?
Not with Lovie. It could be really bad or something small and we’d likely not be informed.

Not to sound mean or anything, but those two being able to play is much more important for success than Smalling IMO. They have a few receivers that have stepped up to outperform him since he went out.

So long as he's been at Illinois, if it's a season ending injury he's announced it.
Don't think I want this developing team clobbered by The Ohio State University.Sharing at the risk of jinxing us, but I took ZzzQuil last night and had the best dream. The Illini beat MSU and win out (9-4). Minnesota loses to Penn State and Wisconsin. Wisconsin falls to Iowa. The beloved win the West and are headed to Indy. I’m pretty sure I was at the CCG in Indy and the atmosphere was LIT.
If this happens, you guys can thank me.

How about sending Minnesota?
Just found out from an article that Dre Brown and I graduated from the same high school....had no idea. Sorry, just talking out loud.I posted that I thought Dre might have a future in pro ball. That speed, strength ... punt returns, kickoffs, special teams? We shall see, but I think some pro team will give him a chance.
Today his high school coach agreed with me. He also said Dre was "excited" about what's happening. Aren't we all!
I'm anxious about MSU game. That's the word, anxious.
One more win, guys! Yes, Lovie,: use a possible bowl game as an incentive to beat not only the Spartans but also to run the table.
Wouldn't that be something?
So the guy who thinks we can win every game has no expectations for this one? Interesting.

That’s big time!!!!
The word seems to be--and I'm just going by what I remember reading--that Michigan State is weak offensively. Which means our takeaway defense is likely to be able to work some of its magic, perhaps even a TD. Then their defense is better than our offense, so we might have to bring Blake out to work his magic. Which puts Michigan State's offense back on the field, and our defense comes back on the field and....with a defense that can score, we might be able to make this thing a W.
I think this game is very winnable...it's not that I expect us to play like we did against Wisconsin but we have been playing better and better with each game. I think we can score enough points to win this game. MSU has struggled to score tallying only 17 points over their last 3 games including a shutout at Wisconsin. The other two losses were at tOSU and v PSU. I just am not that impressed with MSU this year and they have some injuries that I think we can exploit. It will be a tough game on the road but if we can defend and get some turnovers I like our chances.....

Incredible strategy.
Sometimes we get caught up in wins and loses but man this is great congrats Donny
Good point. We have to be realistic. Every team we have played has moved the ball on us. If we dont create turnovers our chance of winning goes way down. The offense needs to eliminate three and outs and not turn the ball over.15.5 has been line at most books since Tuesday morning. They are a top end defense and we still have to prove we can play week in and week out.
Amazing. So happy for Donny!
Quick, get Lovie on the phone!
