Illinois just took a 24-21 lead in the 3rd quarter. The Illini have some impressive RBs. That Corbin kid broke my ankles just watching him juke defenders.
Remember that Appalachian State hung with Penn State the entire game. I don't think Illinois hanging with Penn State for 3 quarters really means a whole lot. If we held with Michigan for 3 quarters tomorrow and ended up losing by 39, I don't think other teams would suddenly be extra concerned about us.
