ESPN's prediction:

"ILLINOIS at MINNESOTA

Brian Bennett: Upset special. Illinois has lost five straight and has no confidence right now, while Minnesota has nothing to lose while playing at home on Senior Day. MarQueis Gray and Duane Bennett have big days as the Gophers notch their second Big Ten win. ... Minnesota 21, Illinois 17

Adam Rittenberg: This wouldn't be that much of an upset, considering the way Illinois has performed recently. This one certainly could go either way, but Ron Zook is correctly making it about the players, not himself, this week as Illinois tries to end on a good note. The Illini have faced some pretty good teams during their losing streak, and Minnesota is not a good team. A.J. Jenkins turns in a big performance against a vulnerable Gophers secondary as Illinois ends its slide. ... Illinois 24, Minnesota 20"

Illinois Game Final Score

The weather conditions will play a factor in this game.

Minnesota 28
Illinois 27

*For this to happen, we will need to play a perfect game (no turnovers, more than adequate punting game, good field position, keep our defense off the field, minimal penalties, get some lucky bounces, and hope that Illinois turns the ball over).

*Minnesota wins it on a very late field goal.

To those people predicting the Gophers to score 30 points or more, ahhhhhhhhhh why? The Gophers have scored above 24 points in 1 out of 11 games.

Illinois - 23

It will be a close, low scoring game. Illinois has one of the 10 best defenses in the country so I'm seeing 24-13 Illinois. Zook should be fired regardless. See you tomorrow!

Sorry - our defense has been improving, but our offense just can't get it done. Please prove me wrong guys!
