Illini-Mizzou: 5 keys

How will Justin Green perform is his first start at cornerback?

Well, you know he is going to try. Really, really hard. But the guy has been on defense for less than two weeks and had little work at cornerback before arriving at Illinois. Had he moved to the position during the spring, he would have a chance to be a royal pain for the Missouri passing game. But with little training and a lot of pressure, it could be a long day. He'll get better. And by the end of the season, the change will look brilliant. Just not now.
