Tennessee will be without some key pieces especially at WR where they will have no Brazzell, the 6'5 stud who was elite at stretching the field for this team, will no longer be an issue to focus on.
They are dealing with multiple other opt outs as well.
Tennessee will be down 3 starters in the secondary and now will face Luke Altmyer who just finished up a great year finishing with 21 TDs to just 5 INT while having a 80.1 QBR which was good for 12th in the nation. He now faces a Tennessee secondary that without the missing pieces ranked bottom 25 in the entire nation in passing yards allowed and this defense also ranked bottom 30 in redzone defense.
Illinois has been nothing special defensively but
Joey Aguilar has been turnover prone on the season throwing 10 INT good for 105th in the nation, which will be the key today. I also do think losing your 1000 yard 6'5 go to reciever will have the gameplan shift a bit, and will have the need for other guys to step up.
This will also allow Illinois to not focus too much on stopping one guy.
Illinois is dealing with minimal opt outs which also helps us out here. A couple great sharp signals on this one and almost all the money on Tennessee yet this line continues to move in Illinois favor. To make this even better Illinois actually played a stronger schedule than Tn.
