00:00Bill seems to have a pulse on the Ohio State Buckeyes through the years.
00:03We're going to get his pulse on this game as well,
00:06as they are 14-and-a-half road favorites against a pretty good Illinois team.
00:10It's an early start, 12 o'clock Eastern on Saturday.
00:14You see the total there.
00:16That's not where it began, Bill.
00:17People are pounding the under in this one,
00:20I guess thinking that Ohio State is just going to shut down Illinois completely.
00:25We know the Illini have had a knack for scoring, though.
00:27But, boy, it tells you just how good the oddsmakers think Ohio State's defense is.
00:32Well, somebody's got to score 10 points on them, and that hasn't happened yet.
00:36I mean, you're starting to hear historically good and those kind of things.
00:39One interesting test here, Luke Altmaier, 70% on passes between 10 and 19 yards.
00:45So he can pitch.
00:47And, you know, five touchdowns, zero interceptions.
00:50I know we're all holding that Indiana game against Illinois,
00:53but I think they're going to give Ohio State their best shot.
00:55I still like the Buckeyes to cover, though.
00:58By best shot, I mean something like 31 to 14, a somewhat low-scoring game.
01:03Maybe the wind plays a role in it.
01:04Ohio State and Illinois, they play for the Illibuck.
01:07It's worth mentioning.
01:08It's a turtle that they put the score on.
01:10Nobody said we were normal here in Big Ten country, and that's okay.
01:13All right.
01:14All right.
01:14All right.
