Illinois couldn’t impress me if they were the only girl in the room on dance night.

On Saturday Virginia built up a quick 14-0 lead and never looked back.
Illini struggled getting off the field with absolutly no pass rush as sack leader Keith Randolph watched from the sideline with an injury.

I know this is a road game for Terps and they’ve struggled to cover as a road chalk,but right now they are the better team and you best kick your opponent when they are still trying to get up from last weeks loss.

Prediction: Maryland (-7.5)
