I say the stick Heckel man to man on Jeremiah Smith.

He got beat by Makai Lemon last year - He got better
He'll get beat this year by Smith - He'll get better

A kid that played 8-man football in BFE Kansas gets to guard the #20 NFL draft pick and a soon to be top 5 draft pick.

He'll be a 1st team All-Big ten CB before he graduates Illinois at this rate.

Juice Clarke did a very good job converging Smith last year. The thing that worries me is the run defense

UAB's run game got shut down by the Ragin Cagun's, 74 yards vs 194 on us. We've got a qb and a legit B1G WR 1, I just hope the defense doesn't pull a 2023 on us and have us miss a bowl game.

I think this game will tell us a lot.

I have little or no expectations. Get through this game and continue to improve. I would hope that the offense shows up and moves the ball against the Buckeyes while scoring a few points. My main fear is that the OSU offense shows up and scores at will and puts 50 plus points on the board. I just think OSU can score as much as they want with the way the Illinois defense has played.
