I remember watching that team at Soldier Field against WSU. Simeon Rice single-handedly kept us in the game. My buddy and I were thinking we should put him at QB just to see :).

My favorite moment was when USC (Lincoln Riley) threw to the end zone on first down from the 14 yard line. This left almost 2 minutes and 3 TOs for the Illini to march into FG range. This was right after I said to my son, "The best strategy is for the Illini to let them score". After the TD, we...

All great questions. Especially the last 2. I just hope players don't get hurt somehow (losing spots, money, etc..). I think a lot of players wil return, same school or other, but just for the opportunity to play, I doubt there will be much money available. Maybe I'm naive.

I was just having this conversation with my son. In the next couple weeks we will already know the 5-8 t(persoanlly I thoink it's 3-4) eams that will have a shot at the NC. Illinois will be one of them.
