They have a very good QB/WR combo.
UCLA hasn't been as good at home this year.
They have a real coach in Bielema. Think more Barry Odom as opposed to Tosh.
Illinois has won four in a row and still holds out hope for the B1G title game. Who have they lost to? Peak Ohio St. Lost a close one to (now 7-2) Duke very early in the year. Lost a competitive game to Purdue. Has won four in a row, including one over an Oregon team that is now ranked.
This sounds like something we'd see on a usc board. The talent differential between UCLA and Illinois is just not large enough to say they have no chance.
