ST. LOUIS -- There's a half-hour before kickoff and the drenched tailgaters are filing in for the third-straight opener between Illinois and Missouri.
I'd attempt some poetry here, but let's go straight to the travel roster. Illinois' 70-man squad features six true freshmen, 12 redshirt freshmen and just 13 seniors.
The true frosh:
2 QB Nathan Scheelhaase
6 CB Joelil Thrash
8 CB Patrick Nixon-Youman
12 CB Terry Hawthorne
26 RB Justin Green
99 DE Michael Buchanan
Senior RB Daniel Dufrene, who has been wrestling with a sprained ankle, hasn't done a ton during warmups, though I just saw him jog and he didn't appear to have much of a limp.
More at halftime and after the game.

Pull the plug on this guy and move on to Mcgee. Put juice at tailback and ahead of the overrated committe guys they have. If i were Benn i would tell zook no more plays out of the backfield, a business decision
