This is a monster matchup in the Big Ten.

It's going to tell us a lot about who is actually going to wind up in Indianapolis.

Dante Moore has impressed me so much this year.

Texas is unranked, have not played well against an FBS opponent at all, especially on offense.

They're favored by a point in a half.

This game is, I think, a game that could end up

being the best game of the weekend.

These fans are the best in the country.

A day like today is why we love college football.

Remember, just a few weeks ago, this was a top 10 ranked Illinois team. This week, they're ranked 17th in the country.

Now, the Buckeyes come into this one with what has become the best single unit in all of

college football. This defense has been outstanding for Ohio State, led by their new

defensive coordinator, Matt Patricia. They've got great players, no doubt, but they've also

got what I think is one of the more intricate schemes now going on in college football, and they

can execute it because of the versatility of really three individuals. And listen, they're all

playing well, but I'm going to name three. Arvell Reese, the linebacker number eight, zero,

sunny styles, and then the great safety,

number two, Caleb Downs. Those three guys, their versatility, their intellect, the way that

they can handle concepts, they make this defense so difficult to face. And the reason is,

from an offensive perspective, there are no indicators. So you don't know what they're in. You don't know when they're pressuring, running man, running zone. All of that becomes very difficult. And then that defensive line has played really well up front. So that makes them the single best unit in college football, at least up to this point. They're only given up five points per game. And they've only given up two touchdowns so far all season long. So that's what Illinois will be staring at across

them when they have the football. But that offense for Illinois has gotten something going in the last
