Turtle power

For further proof that this football season is the equivalent of "human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria", Illinois enters this Saturday's game undefeated while Ohio State is sitting on a .500 record. If the time between now and when Illinois last started the season at 6-0 was a person, he/she would almost be eligible for Social Security. Real wrath of God type stuff.

One of the main reasons for the Illini's success is the chemistry between QB Nathan Scheelhaase and WR A.J. Jenkins, which is akin to Joe Bauserman and the stands. Of Scheelhaase's 10 TD passes, Jenkins has caught seven of them. Jenkins also leads the nation in receiving yards (815), even though the coaches don't think he always plays to his potential.
