Illinois vs. Indiana prediction: Take a shot on slight underdog

In Bret Bielema’s first season at Illinois, it took till Oct. 2 for the Combating Illini to report their second win. If the Illini upset Huge Ten rival Indiana on Friday, they are going to be 2-0 earlier than Labor Day.

Illinois appeared spectacular in its opener rolling a younger Wyoming squad, 38-6. The Illini racked up 477 yards of whole offense and 260 yards on the bottom in a recreation that was a good greater mismatch than the rating suggests.

Whereas a powerful operating recreation is the trademark of any Bielema-coached crew, probably the most encouraging takeaway for the Illini is quarterback Tommy DeVito. The Syracuse switch accomplished 27 of 37 passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns. His efficiency is a welcome signal for an offense that completed 122 in passing final season.

Indiana might not be Wyoming, however the Hoosiers enter 2022 as my lowest-rated crew within the Huge Ten. Indiana returns simply 4 offensive starters from final yr’s 2-win crew and should change six gamers in its entrance seven. Illinois operating again Chase Brown ought to have one other massive recreation after dashing for 151 yards and two scores within the opener.
