This game worries me. Extreme weather conditions favor the underdog. Purdue losing to an underdog at home, OSU struggling against NW. it feels like a crazy day. Throw in the fact that nobody is giving a depleted MSU team a chance, they will be motivated. This game won’t be easy. I smell trouble.

let’s focus.

It is windy but surpringily warm out here. Sun is coming through every now and then. Not bad weather to watch a November football game!

I think extreme weather conditions favor the superior defensive team, which is ILLINOIS.

Illinois 28
MSU 7

There will not be any field goals today. What the heck is Purdue doing. Those idiots. We could have gotten ESPN College Gameday next week.

PU is losing because their offense is more of a throwing attack and are forced to be one dimensional. We will be forced into our strength of running the ball. I trust BB knows how to game plan for these Midwest conditions.

That’s more due to match ups in the weather than it is because they’re underdogs.

Both OSU and Purdue are heavy pass first teams, which gets impacted by the wind.

We’re a run heavy team, so we won’t be impacted quite as much.

Still football tho, anything can happen.

We have a solid ground game. We should be fine

No need to panic, Jimbo. Secure from general quarters, restow all gear, reset the normal underway steaming watch. The Illini will control this game, and make any necessary adjustments if Sparty gets rolling. Illini cruise to victory today.

Calling Iowa as an underdog a stretch. I give Iowa that game 9/10 regardless of weather. Purdue has a vanilla defense.

I want to see us come out more stout defensively from the get go. We've been allowing some long drives to start the game before settling in, and in a game against a reeling opponent, the one thing you can't do is give them confidence and allow them to rally around each other. Let's jump them from the start and then impose our will on them until they break.
