Game Preview: Ohio State @ Illinois

ShareTweetOhio State Buckeyes @ Illinois Fighting Illini — Memorial Stadium Saturday 12:00 PM ET November football is what separates the contenders from the pretenders of college football.  It’s why Ohio State has been in the hunt for a championship since the start of the 2013 season. This point of the season is the valley of no return. It’s hard to get out of the valley of the desert when your record is unscathed. Throw the wrench of a loss in the mix and all of a sudden all you’re hoping for is that there is enough water in the canteen to keep you alive until help arrives. The Illinois Fighting Illinois understand the lay of the land. A championship of any kind is out of reach. Yet, they own Memorial Stadium — the home turf in which they are 4-1 this season. With their biggest weapon on offense back at full strength. Meanwhile, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer has the ultimate trump card. His returning weapon is bigger and better than Bill Cubit’s.
