So who wins this weekend?

[Woodsa]

Purdue - starting to formulate a defense, O is lethal at times not so other times. Last game lost.

Illinois- coming off a big win but still has weaknesses (pass defense).

Environment - rain forecasted, cool temps, grass field, low crowd nbrs due to weather

What are your thoughts on who wins the Cannon this weekend?

Illini by six. 9-3 as no one scores a TD.

I was confident in a blowout until I saw the forecast.

 

[Boilerbub73]

The winner of this game will have over a 175 yd rushing

Be interesting to see how the rain affects the game. If Purdue is forced to run they would need to step up.

As long as there is no wind we'll be able to pass.

They are calling for 12 to 14 miles per hour winds during the game.

 

[FLAG HUNTER]

The stadium will block alot of the wind, unless it's from the south.

Never left. No need to post...I don't.

WTHR in Indy says up to 3" and strong winds. Which will make low 50's seem like 40. Tough day for both teams.

 

[Chi-Boiler]

Wind is supposed to be out of the east.

We're favored by 10 for a reason. I'm surprised it's that high as I expected a bump for Illinois coming off last week. Wisconsin clearly didn't take the game serious enough after they got up a couple scores. We shouldn't have that issue.

I hate the rain for this one. Bad rushing offense and Punter who has a dud punt every 1/3 is not how you win in the rain. On a sunny day the passing offense would put up points, but this is a toss up that will come down to field position and TOs more than likely.

The weather concerns me. I’m not sure if Plummer has ever played a game in the rain. Is he going to be accurate enough to pick apart the Tampa 2? Last year we ran all over the Illini. Getting Doerue going early is key.

It was more than just a bit curious you called on me (different thread) in particular, I gave you (what I thought was) a solid reply, and you went dark.

No reply at all.

It's all good, it was just a bit odd.

 

[MilwaukeeBoilerFan]

Purdue does not have a solid run game. Rain favors Illini who can and did run on Wisconsin. Rain is 100% at 12 pm CST.

Illini 21
Purdue 14

I hope I'm wrong.

Went on a four day vacation. Never take computer when I do that as the lady deserves my attention. Send me a link and I'll answer it.

They always do. That's a good thing.

If you're interested, look back at your content or your notices.
