It's the beginning of the Bielema Era for IlliniNation. Scott Frost is bringing in a formidable Nebraska team with more veterans and talent than he's ever had before as the Cornhusker head coach. It's appropriate that the IlliniGuys are leaning into their first year of their football coverage of the Illini gridiron program at the same time.
Let's see how the predictions look and come Saturday night, we'll know who was on target and who should never be allowed to appear on Brandon Wildman's I on the Lines.
