OK. So the Illini aren’t the worst team in the Big Ten in giving allowing opposing teams to cash in air miles, but it’s not good. Illinois is giving up over 250 passing yards per game and that’s the type of scenario you don’t want when playing against Justin Fields.
Illinois will get after the quarterback a little, but it doesn’t have the aggressive blitz packages the Hoosier employed last week. That means Fields will be able to get his feet set, pick out his talented receivers, and move the ball up and down the field. Illinois just won’t be able to keep up.
