Indiana -1 2.2% play
Indiana is really flying under the radar here, and they go up against an Illinois team that blew out Wyoming last week and is getting all kinds of great press. I’m not buying into Illinois, and the praise everyone is giving their transfer QB Tommy Devito who could not hack it at Syracuse. Wyoming also had huge roster issues with transfers, and not surprised at all that Illinois was able to run it up on them. Devito getting praise for 5.2 yards per pass attempt, and now he goes on the road on Friday night in the Big Ten. Indiana also been able to prepare for Illinois didn’t have a game last week, and there is no tape with Indiana bringing in a new OC and a ton of transfers I think Illinois will be guessing early.
Indiana had a tough year last year going 2-10, after they lost Penix to injury and had a couple close losses, and were -13 TO. They have a ton of transfers, and Tom Allen’s best recruiting class. I see why some are hesitant and are backing Illinois, but I still think Tom Allen is a better coach than Bielema and I think Indiana has more talent at this point. I really think we see talented QB Connor Bazelak, transfer from Missouri get the nod, and Indiana will be getting the hype after this one. playing a smart game allowing his defense to control the game.
