per Joe:

4. What's the best case scenario for Illinois this week against Minnesota, including QB health, etc.?

Jeff George Jr. plays like his dad and the Illini keep it close. He had a tough opener, but he hung in there and played better as the game went on. I fully believe the players like him and will rally around him. If he is able to throw for 300 yards and a couple of touchdowns in a close game, it will make Illinois feel better about its chances later in the year. You won't see Chayce Crouch, but you might see Wes Lunt. Getting him back sooner rather than later would ease the burden on George.
