[QUOTE="Sybok, post: 1409171, member: 6655"] Outside of trivial analysis, the two opening games are not alike. At no time last year did Illinois dominate Ball State. Illinois dominated the entire 2nd half against KSU. Just take a look at the numbers- Illinois got lucky beating Ball State last year. BSU 21 1st downs to UI 14. BSU 12-21 on 3rd down compared to 2-10 for Illinois. BSU 375 total yards, IL 216. BSU had 204 yds passing and 171 rushing. IL 145 passing and 71 rushing. That’s 2.4 ypc rushing. Fast forward to game 1 2018. Illinois 469 total yards vs 453 for the Golden Flashes. KSU had 279 passing yards while IL had 190, but IL beat them handily in rushing yards 279 to 183. Illinois had 5.7 YPC. The IL offense took the game over beginning the 2nd series in the 2nd half. Coaches made adjustments. When did that happen last year on offense? It didn't. [/QUOTE]
