Illinois will not be easy--for the Gophers. Illinois is easy for other teams, but not for the Gophers--so long as Bielema is the coach. For all his good points, PJ seems to have some kind of complex about Bielema. Bielema plays us very aggressively; we play Illinois as if we are afraid to make a mistake. And we lose.
