Well, nobody thought it possible (I know I didn't, and I always look for
upsets), but Illinois beat Ohio State.  Some may ask why; I may have an
answer.

Illinois is really a better team than their 2:2 record states.  They lost
their out-of-conference games, I believe, because they got lax.  They figured
that only USC, their first opponent, would be very difficult.  They figured
Southern Ill. and Nebraska (despite preseason hype, and I agree) were
pushovers.  Good estimate of their "ability", but bad attitude.  Oh, well,
they paid for overconfidence.  Now that they've been humbled a little, they
have the right attitude; to expect anything.  

After all this, all I have to say is ...

	WATCH OUT, BIG TEN!  ILLINOIS IS ON THE MOVE!
