Fresno St. lost two defensive starters in the last two weeks, including a CB, and a defensive lineman. That doesn't bode well for a team that has to face a very strong running game in the Illinois team. Illinois should be able to move the ball freely vs. Fresno St.
I believe Fresno St. will come to play tonight, and if they do, they will have to lead with their offense. They do have a decent QB, and a decent running game. Illinois' defense has been good at times this year, but, in the last 3 games, they've given up 67, 38, and 27 points. I think Fresno's Bulldogs will score on the Illini.
ONE STAR PLAY ON THE OVER
I'm leaning slightly to Fresno St. in the game. I just can't see a Ron Zook-coached team as a 6 point favorite on the road in a non-conference game. The trouble is coach Pat Hill of Fresno St. has been surprisingly horrible as a home underdog(1-6 in the last five years). What the heck has happened to Pat Hill teams since that heart-breaking loss to USC some years back?
So, a slight lean toward Fresno St., but, no recommendation.
CALL 11:50A.M., SATURDAY MORNING FOR OUR RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE 12:00 GAMES.
