No doubt in my mind the Buckeyes win this one and remain undefeated. The only question is, how big will the margin of victory be for Ohio State? I'm guessing it'll be a woodshed job similar to the Minnesota game. Make it 35-3, OSU over Illinois. Do you agree?

yeah i think osu will put up atleast 35 but illinois has that good young qb so i think illinois will get in the endzone at least once. My score is 45-10 OSU


GO Bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lefty, I have to agree, the score should have been a LOT more than it was. I guess ole Jim just had to go back to being Mr. Conservative. This is NOT Buckeye Football. Come on, put at least some positive yards on the board during the second half.

Welcome to GoTeamsGo, Bighammer. Yeah, this was not the same OSU team that won each of their first 9 games by at least 17 points; they only managed to put up 17 points total against Illinois, and worse, according to the AP "Illinois had a 233-224 advantage in total yards and held Ohio State to its fewest points, total yards and passing yards this season." What does this team need to do to rebound?

this close game could be good actually and at leats they got this close 1 out before the mich game but anyway it could be good cuz coach tressel will use it as motivation like #1 team yeah right

Good point, Price. They say in the NFL sometimes it's a blessing to lose a game because it re-focuses you. NCAA teams don't have that luxury, so maybe this is the next best thing for the Buckeyes.
