The Illini rebounded in fantastic fashion from the Indiana loss by finding a way to defeat USC on Homecoming. Even in the midst of a furious USC rally, the Illini found a way to win.
Only Karl and Mike had the faith to select the Illini for the victory and now there are four at the top of the rankings this season at 4-1 - Matt, Ked, Karl, and Mike
Now, the Boilermakers are next up. The Boilers have given the Illini fits as they so often have done? Or will the Illini take care of business in the shadow of next week's showdown with Ohio State.
It's time to see what the guys think.
