So simple, yet so brilliant: Illinois is attacking the underbelly of Penn State's defense, the short pass over the middle.
I don't see starting middle linebacker Chris Colasanti ever being able to stop that pass. Sure, he'll sometimes make the tackle, but not until Illinios gets a 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-yard gain.
Meanwhile, Penn State's offense can't do squat even though it was given great field position after the Illinois turnover.
We could be looking at two mediocre teams, folks.
