Illinois-Michigan: 5 keys

Is Nathan Scheelhaase ready for a big game?

Probably. The sophomore quarterback has a good history against Michigan, throwing three touchdown passes and running for a fourth score in last year's game. He ran for 101 yards at Michigan Stadium, a number he would like to duplicate today. Scheelhaase didn't have a big passing day against Penn State (blame a lot of it on the weather). But he ran well and moved the team well on the final drive. Rested and healthier than he has been for months, Scheelhaase will try to get the offense off to a fast start.
