Maybe I’m emotionally hedging. Maybe I just anticipate a lot of overly optimistic predictions from the rest of the staff and want to urge caution. Maybe I feel like someone has to taper the football euphoria a little bit right here in order to provide a fuller picture of what we’re likely to see. Illinois certainly has a path to victory, but Iowa is a better team. What worries me is that this is the best defense the Illini will have faced outside of Wisconsin. Moving the ball is going to be a problem. The Iowa offense is certainly bad, but is not as one-dimensional as Penn State or Minnesota.
