Big 10 help..Illinois

[Box and one]

I was just at the Rivers casino in Philly.. The sept 4th football line is
Illinois -6 over UTSA
I am in philly so have no access to all my notes .. I know UTSA and saw them play 2 times last yr. They have a great running back and there qb lefty is inaccurate but elusive. they also have a big wr who can catch the ball and run... Not sure who graduated from UTSA and is Illi that bad they are only favored by under a TD.. Need some Illi Big 10 info. Thought Illi did decent last yr.. I don't do B-10 games but know UTSA think Mcormick is the rb or is that Smu's rb. But he is outstanding About 5'10 and built quick and can take a hit. I;m leaving early monday morning back to austin and would like to make a play on Illi -6 tomorow On the 1st play last yr vs Texas St McCormick ran for 56 yds .. Does illi have a good derense and UTSA defense was avg.. they are playing in Illinois .. appreciate some big 10 help it looks to good and many many times when things look that good there not

Found enough information already...UTSA has everyone back on offense and they are loaded. QB,Sincere McCormick the best running back in the country that nobody knows about yet except teams in Conf USA ,top wr and everyone on the Offensive line is back . Its defense that might have the problem esp vs Illi's offense. Illi hired Bieniema who I think was fired from Arkansas but won big at Wisky in the B-10. So he is familiar with the Big 10. When I get back will do more research on Illi and UTSA defense.
Not sure where UTSA is in pre-season polls and predictions. .But with almost everyone back and Sincere with the ball they should be one of the favorites .
I realize now Lovie was fired from Illi and they continue to be a cellar dweller in the B-10 But Bieninmia when he was with Wisconsin played power football and always had running backs. Made a small play -6 on Illi but will wait . The more I get into this game the more UTSA looks better. Will need to get more info on Illi..

Just now seeing this Box :facepalm:, I'd be real suspicious of playing Illinois, without looking at anything.

I have been studying this game for awhile.. UTSA has Sincere McCormick a super star running back but Illi also has a stud at rb.. new coach since lovie got fired.. Illi has an excellent qb but still mixed on this game. One day I'm leaning toward illi and then the next like those Texas Players.. have a few weeks ..

A conference USA team on the road in the Big 10 and getting less than a touchdown, is spooky. At the same time it's not like Illinois gets a ton of respect (in football) anyway. I don't think I would touch it.

Hey Box -

U of I alumni here. I will check in with some people and see if I can find anything worthy...

thanx Jordan this game has me intrigued . Illi has new coach outstanding qb and good running back ...Love UTSA in the weaker conference and they have a good qb and nice wrs' and one of the best running backs in the country Can the Illi defense stop the Roadrunners offense and can the UTSA defense stop Illi. Can new coach Bielema do what he did at Wisky winning or and running the football or does he revert back to Arkansas where he just got fired. UTSA has all 11 players back on defense but was at the Tex St game where the defense gave up 48 pts in 2 ot's and won 51-48. .the defense The last few years when UTSA played the big boys they lost 63-17 to Baylor,45-15 to tex AM Baylor and Zona St big. They ended the season holding La Tech,FAU,Utep ,So Miss and North Texas to 24,21,21,20 and 17 pts But UTSA has Sincere McCormick a 5'9 200 pound kid built like a tank that led the nation in scoring. Harris their lefty qb got hurt last year and is back.And he has a few wrs that are big and fast. . What I'm worried about is Peters the Illi qb who everybody says is big time.Not sure about OL of Illi but if they protect him and then one of the best rb's in the B-10 is Brown at the same height and weight that Sincere is. I'm leaning a little to Illi and giving the points. But this game is the super bowl game for UTSA playing a B-10 school away .. still not sure what I'm doing. I remember watching McCormick last year vs UTSA and posting I think I just saw the best running back in the country. I thought I found a hidden gem that no one knew of him.. Well he led the country in rushing and on his 1st touch ran the ball for a 56 yd touchdown. That could of been vs North Texas .. getting confused ..
