[NU Sports] Illinois Prediction

[Jim Leonard]

Fellow Wildcat Faithful,

Fire up March of the Steelmen*, it's time for Senior Day at NU. The Illini have their backs to the wall in this game with far more to play for (hope of a bowl) than NU (the right to be passed over by the Outback). That being said, Cats are the better team and the better team should win.

Weather-wise, this one is definitely one I'm excited to watch from home (it's even cold in Nashville today). Every tackle will hurt, and every time Juice Williams meets Corey Wootton it's going to hurt - a lot. 

Illinois:             20
Northwestern:   28

Victory & Honor,
JIm

* The NCAA has determined that this is offensive to steel workers.
