Ohio State Buckeyes visit Illinois 2011

Illinois has proven that it can win on the road and at home but the Buckeyes could be a touch matchup this coming Saturday when they come to Champaign. The Illini have lost 8 straight at home against Ohio State but this Buckeye team isn’t the usual Buckeye team due to offensive issues, suspensions, Jim Tressel’s retirement, and Terelle Pryor’s early departure to the NFL. With 6 wins already, Illinois has one of its best starts in decades. Some of their wins have been against the weaker members of the Big Ten conference, so the Buckeyes should be a good meter of their true strength.
