Preview of Illini game from an Illinois perspective
Weekend Preview: Illinois takes on Penn State in Big Ten opener
Nothing brings out the best in our players than an honest-to-goodness Big Ten battle. This weekend, we’re getting just that. Coach Robbie Wine brings his 10-13 Penn State Nittany Lions to town to face the 9-9 Illini.
The Nits are coming off a 3-1 weekend against Hofstra in which they rebounded from a 7-1 loss then won the next three. They also split two midweek games against Kent State. Once again, they came back to win the second game after losing the first. My point? Don’t expect them to lose heart or get demoralized after a loss. They’re more likely to become motivated.
