Illinois Fighting Illini Football Fanatics

The Illini are 2 - 1 going into the bye week before the conference schedule begins.  The Illini could be 3 - 0 if they had only shown up to play the 2nd half against Missouri.  The team is looking good. Nathan Scheelhasse is the real deal.  Personally, I think he will much farther than Juice Williams.  Scheelhasse is a good runner and has a great arm.  He does not look like a redshirt Freshman out on the field.  Mikel Leshoure is reminding fans of another great running back who wore #5 in Rashard Mendenhall.  The next three weeks look very tough as the Illini are home to Ohio State, on the road at Penn State and Michigan State.  Honestly, I will not be surprised if the Illini lose all three games but stranger things can happen.  So, Illini fans, what record do you think this team will finish?  My prediction is that Illini will finish 7-5.  I would be very happy with that record.
