Illinois will snap out of this funk at some point. Cam Thomas will have another decent game with zero turnovers — he’ll be sacked by Tegray Scales, though — and the Illini will somehow ride him to a victory. If this is the case, expect Thomas to start the final two games of the season and be the starting QB entering the offseason. A loss for Illinois likely means a start for Jeff George Jr. at Ohio State next week and rotating quarterbacks versus Northwestern during the season finale — and confusion in the offseason.
