Man Kotelnicki was on his game. He had everything dialed up.

The option game, direct snaps to the running back, couple plays with funky formations, and they had Illinois backpedaling all game.

We didn't see anything from Grimes and I'm sure that's by design. I think we're going to see an entirely different looking offense and play calls than we did in week one.

Watched Bielema press conference today and he was complimentary of the KU program and what they can do. I will have more from him and what he said.

For me this comes down to such a contrast of styles and I just don't know that Illinois can adjust to what Kansas can do. Bielema said something that this was an awakening game last year for his new defensive coordinator because Kansas schemed the heck out of them.

I like the matchup for KU.
