Well, several members of the team told friends on campus yesterday that they think JP will start. I guess we'll find out tomorrow. This info has 50% chance of being correct.

IF Illinois makes a bowl, this better be in the playbook.

I hope he isn't selling used vacuum cleaners on the side.
Game ratings from BCf Toys are "are opponent-adjusted data representing the value generated per possession in each game relative to an average team performance on a neutral field against an average opponent."
- Iowa just played their best game of the year by versus Rutgers.
- Illinois has improved over the last four games, but those efforts are below the level of all but two or three of Iowa's performances.
- This analysis indicated that Iowa should be more then a 3-point favorite.
- Let's play the game anyway. I L L !

I lived next door to All-American DB Craig Swoope and All-Big-Ten DB Mike Heaven freshman year, Fall '84. Lovely, kind guys. I recall thinking occasionally after chatting with one or the other that if they ever hit me running full speed on a football field they would likely kill me. And no amount of protective equipment could save me.
If Altimeter (that's supposed to be Luke's name but my phone knows better than me what I'm trying to type apparently 
) throws for 400 yards today, is it safe to assume JP would have thrown for 800?
) throws for 400 yards today, is it safe to assume JP would have thrown for 800?The interesting thing for me is that our whole offensive philosophy changes when Paddock plays - longer throws down field, use the pass to set up the run etc
- our gameplan with LA seems to be a lot of WR screens and run the ball to set up the pass
It would seem we have a better shot to beat Iowa with the downfield passing game given I don’t think we’ll be able to run on them effectively

Both guys throw a catchable ball, but Lukes has more air under it and it seems to me to float more, Paddocks seems to have a little more zip on it.
BB was purposely ambigous with his comments this week.
National media ran with the story and said that it meant Luke was starting. I still think JP is. But Im okay with either
We just need to score 20 points

"Yes, and afterwards he would excavate Carver-Hawkeye Arena with his bare hands and deposit it over on I-80."

I trust your judgment and wisdom implicitly. After all, you're a Hall of Fame coach and have been sitting across Fourth Street watching the practice field for nearly 66 seasons.
And then there's that call you made in advance of the Maryland game last month that everyone was convinced we'd drop like a sack of concrete.
I think zuppke's record predicting games this season is 5-5. Not too shabby
Would you really wanna play the Q.B. behind our offensive line. But I guess some people have a death wish
