Fiesta Bowl Preview: Texas Should Beat Ohio Stateis still an efficient passer. Look for him to give the Longhorns' LB corps trouble all day. Buckeyes' Chris Wells should warrant some attention from the Texas defense as well. The Junior RB gained over 1000 yards this season in only 9 games. DifferenceOut for redemptionhe of the otherworldly passing stats, not to mention 576 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground, is Chris Wells. The injury-plagued junior tailback, likely playing his last game for the Buckeyes, is their best home run threat. Although Pryor is equallyPryor has Young-eyed lookis tall. He is strong. He is hard to tackle. He can throw.' Pryor teamed with running back Chris Wells to give Ohio State a powerful 1-2 punch in the running game.

Demand high as single-game football tickets go on sale
Illinois football tickets sold at a furious pace Tuesday morning.
Illini single-game home tickets went on sale at 9 a.m. and by the end of the hour, the November 15 contest against the Ohio State Buckeyes was sold out. It became the fifth sellout in the last two years.
"Selling out the Ohio State game so quickly after single-game tickets went on sale is another great example of the excitement surrounding the upcoming season," said Jason Heggemeyer, assistant athletic director for ticket operations in a press release. "The anticipation from Illini fans for this season and this game in particular has been incredible."
Two more home games against the Indiana Hoosiers on October 18 and the Iowa Hawkeyes on November 1 are on the verge of selling out. The first five rows at Memorial Stadium on the east and west sides have been made available, creating an additional 1,500 seats. However, once those tickets are no longer available, the game will be entirely sold out.
"Needing to open up extra seats for these games is a great situation to be in," Heggemeyer said. "Illini fans continue to show that they're some of the best fans in the nation and that they're very excited about this season."
During the 2007 season, Illinois sold out four games in a row against Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ball State, which was a first since 1986.
The 2008 State Farm Arch Rivalry football game between Illinois and Missouri sold out just as quickly when tickets became available Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. The game will be featured on ESPN on August 30 at 7:30 p.m. Now in its fourth year, the matchup features two squads ranked in the top 25. Last season, the Tigers defeated the Illini 40-34 in thrilling fashion at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. An average of 62,601 fans attended the past three games played in 2002 and 2003 in addition to last season. Attendance is expected to surpass previous showings.
"The excitement surrounding the Illinois and Missouri football programs is taking the game to a whole new level," said Kathleen "Kitty" Ratcliffe, president of the St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission, in a press release. "We're looking forward to the incredible atmosphere the matchup will create throughout downtown and inside the Edward Jones Dome on August 30."
