Love the hook here. 3 reasons why I like Ohio, well actually 4. I love their QB Tettleton, he is a playmaker, great paser and has a NFL caliber WR and has set a ton of records at Ohio U and can also take off and run it and make plays with his ground attack. The DEFENSE for Ohio is vastly better, I have seen No Illinois all year play like idiots on defense and Ohio U well disciplined. Also the coaching is key. Rookie head coach for No Illinois with very green coordinators, and Frank Solich a no dummy in big games, 7 seasons here, and all the years at Nebraska and I know him fairly well from my radio days in Lincoln, he will have his team focused and they will play hard every play. Experience in big games count, and I have the better QB, and not to say that No Illinois QB Harnish and a solid running game is not good because they are good, but Ohio’s defense is better than what they seen have in awhile. So I have the better QB, coach, defense, and experience getting points. NIU lost this title game last year and want it, but I think Frank Solich can out coach them win in a squeaker.
