OSU found a new way to defeat themselves last Saturday night. In my 28th year of following the Buckeyes, that's the first time that I can recall them blowing a 21 point lead and losing. It was just as depressing as when the 1990 Buckeyes came to Memphis and lost to Air Force in the Liberty Bowl. After Braxton tweaked an ankle, the whole team went into shutdown mode and allowed the Cornhuskers to come back and score 28 points.

It was reported today that Nathan Williams is gone for the year with a knee injury. Not exactly the best news that you want to hear since Illinois and Wisconsin have great offenses. QB Nathan Scheelhaase and A.J. Jenkins are the playmakers on offense while Tavon Wilson and Whitney Mercilus are the studs on defense. The Illini are 6-0 for the first time since 1951 and look to defeat the Buckeyes for the first time since 2007. With that said.....

Prediction: Illinois 24  OSU 13

GO BUCKS!!! (Prove me wrong)
