Weekly Report Posted: September 27, 2008 01:56
Tomorrow the Illini will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes at home. This should be a very good game between two team having great years so far. It's really hard to say will win win because both are playing at a very high level but talent wise the Buckeyes are much better. If Juice Williams can limit his mistakes the Illini could come out of this with a win.
