Predictions:
David: NU 28, Illinois 24 - Illini overlook Cats and fall at home. Juice goes 5 of 100 passing, but still rushes for 120 yards. Not enough. Adam Kadela registers 39 tackles and a key pick to preserve a fourth-quarter lead.
Chris: NU 31, Illinois 24 - As it has most of the season, offense trumps defense. NU gets the classic meltdown victory from Illinois.
Matt: Illinois 31, NU 28 - Illinois lets down ... but not enough. Too many interceptions by C.J. Bacher spoil the Cats' bowl hopes.
The Illini seniors are being introduced. I thought that was just an NU tradition!!!!!
The applause for senior linebacker J Leman is deafening. Leman leads the Illini in tackles, with 114. Something tells me the words "applause" and "J Leman" won't be strangers to each other during this game. The equipment managers might have to wash Tyrell Sutton's jersey a couple of extra times after the game to get the imprint of Leman's "47" out of it.
Illinois is already leading NU in syllables, thanks to the efforts of individuals like starting tight end Michael Hoomanawanui.
