Pace of play

MINN- 31.27 seconds per play (2nd slowest in the NCAA)
ILL- 26.77 seconds per play (89th overall)

Offense

MINN- get their star RB back but still has a poor passing attack and without the star WR for the rest of the season should struggle vs a top 5 defense.
ILL- decent rushing attack but outside the top 100 for passing and has struggled all year.

Defense

MINN- I don't think the number do them justice even though the numbers aren't that back top 35 overall but in my mind top 20-25 in the Country
ILL- we all saw and know what ILL has on defense only giving up 8pts a game so far this year and a well rounded elite defense that keeps them in games
