Game Week: Illini vs Missouri

Missouri
The 20:1 posting activity on the basketball forum belies the fact that it is finally game week for Fighting Illini football. Last year's 2-10 campaign featured a handful of painful near-wins and a whole lotta turnovers. This year the Illini expect to up the win total and steer the program back towards bowl-contention. The schedule is tough—Illinois faces all of the top teams in the Big Ten. First things first, Game 1 is in St. Louis against Missouri, who are expected to compete for the Big 12 North title.
