Bye Week

Weekly Report Posted: September 27, 2008 18:02
The Illini have wrapped up the regular season and are waiting to see where they will be playing their Bowl Game. Considering they won the Big Ten this year it should be in the Rose Bowl but you never know what is going to happen. We had some time to sit down with Coach Camara and talk about the season.
What happened in the Penn State game?
In the Penn State game i feel that i didn't adequately prepare the ream and we got out to a real slow start and fell behind 31-0. So we had to work hard to get out of that hole, but we weren't able to make it all the way back.
How does it feel to win the Big Ten in your first year?
It feels great, Illinois hasnt won the Big Ten since 2001 so tehy were overdue for a win.
What bowl do you think the Illini will end up in?
I feel like we will end up in the Rose Bowl because of our Big Ten Championship. There is a small chance we might squeak into the Nation Championship Game but that is a long shot.
