After challenging his players to make plays before 220,000 hostile fans on the road the past two weeks, Ron Zook put a challenge to the Illini Homecoming crowd for Saturday's Minnesota game.
"That's the one thing about the Big Ten, I don't care who you are playing and when you are playing them, you better be strapped up and ready to go. So we're going to need all the fans. Everybody rest up on Friday. I know it's homecoming, I want them to enjoy homecoming, but we need them in that stadium. We need them yelling and we need to have the twelfth man, we really do."
Notes
- Now's not the time for Illini to relax.
- Patient Illini support Martez Wilson.
- Zook's media luncheon remarks.
Tim Brewster's homecoming
Minnesota coach Tim Brewster was the starting TE on the Illini's 1983 Rose Bowl team. Brewster, who wanted the Illini job in 2004, is charged up for Saturday's contest.
- Brewster is fired up to beat the Illini.
- Gophers see program similarities in Champaign.
- Video rewind: Brewster's 1983 game against Michigan.
- Gophers defense goes from brutal to respectable.
Michigan game wrap-up
- Juice's performance (300+ yards passing and 100+ rushing) has occurred only two other times in Big Ten history.
- From my site, a fantastic photo set from the stands of Michigan Stadium.
