Player Who Matters

Minnesota safety Antonio Johnson is coming up with a strong season and should be in the mix for All-Big Ten honors. The 6-0, 206-pound senior leads the team with 78 tackles with two broken up passes, and while he’s not flashy, he’s a rock against the run. Last week he came up with 14 tackles against Iowa after cranking up nine against Ohio State the week before.

What’s Going To Happen?

Minnesota will dominate at home. It’s overdue for a very strong wire-to-wire performance, and even though Illinois will come up with a few good defensive stops to stay alive, it’ll get away late.

Illinois vs. Minnesota Prediction
Final Score: Minnesota 27, Illinois 17, Line: Minnesota -4.5, o/u: 47
