Pretty cold temps, night game, against an opponent most expect a at least a 10 point win against.  Sure Illinois is a Conference opponent, but one the Buckeyes hold a 65-30-4 all-time series advantage over, and one that they should beat this year. The days are getting noticeably shorter.  How hardy do you think the the crowd is going to be at tailgating in the cold and dark leading up to the contest?  Will it be a relatively subdued (non lathered up), bundled up, group that will make little noise?
