00:00Illinois-Oregon, as Ben would say, the best team in the Big 10 is Oregon. Thank goodness Oregon got
00:07imported into the Big 10. What a shame that conference would be, but that's for another
00:11day. Illinois-Oregon in this game matchup, heavy-fifth, three touchdowns favorite here
00:15to a ranked opponent. Is Oregon rolling here today, Mark? Again, I mean, it's hard to step
00:22in front of Oregon at Autzen Stadium, right? Like, that just seems like a bad play overall.
00:27With a game like this, and I'm not a big fan of Brett Bielema's offense by any stretch of
00:31the imagination. I love his defense, but you know, the offense leaves a lot to be desired.
00:35And because of that, I always use the same philosophy I tell you guys about all the time.
00:39If they ain't covering early, they ain't covering late. So if I'm taking Illinois,
00:42I'll take the 11 and a half in the first half. Because look, if Oregon is up 14 and a half,
00:47how is Illinois playing catch-up? Like literally, without Oregon making some mistakes or a special
00:52team's touchdown or whatever, I don't know how Illinois can catch up to Oregon who's leading
00:57by 14 at halftime. Like, it just doesn't seem like it's a good recipe. So Illinois is going
01:01to have to keep it close, stay close the entire game, possibly have a lead at halftime if they
01:05have any shot at winning this game. So give me, if I'm going to take Illinois, give me the 11
01:10and a half in the first half.
