The Illini face a more talented Tennessee team with more opt-outs. Both teams are shaky on defense, but the two QBs have to be excited to see how many points they may score in the Music City Bowl.
The Illini are 1 win away from finishing 9-4 if they can win this bowl game.
Bret Bielema will be the first Illini coach to win at least 9 games two seasons in a row and be the first to win bowls in back-to-back seasons.
And it's time to see what the guys think and see if anyone can catch Matt.
