Houser’s Day Could Decide Illinois vs Duke | Illinois Fighting Illini Football News

Illinois football’s offense showed promise against UAB, with Katin Houser looking sharp and the wide receiver corps firing on all cylinders. Facing a tough Duke defense that’s stout against the run, Illinois will need Houser to thrive through the air—especially since Duke’s secondary is vulnerable. But success hinges on elite pass protection; with key linemen sidelined and pressure looming, keeping Houser upright is non-negotiable. And while Duke gave up plenty of passing yards last year, turnovers could be the deciding factor—Illinois must win the turnover battle to secure another victory, as they did last season when they kept it clean. With Houser boasting the highest QBR in college football, expect fireworks—if the line holds. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
