This week we had a chance to chat with the Orange and Blue News (@IllinoisRivals) about this week's matchup between the Spartans and the Fighting Illini and the state of each team's season so far. They had a few questions for us, which I took the lead in answering, and then the Illinois publisher provided some of his comments on the Fighting Illini.
While I would love to pick MSU to win this game, I cannot in good conscience do so at this point. I absolutely think that they can win the game, but I am in "believe it when I see it" mode in regards to this team winning a tough true road game. I do that they will get there, but I don't think it will be this week. Champaign is just too tough of a place to win.
Check out the full story here.
Also, apparently they do not appreciate it when you accidently call them "Blue and Orange News" in the original version of the story. Whoops.
