Football Gameplan previews the 2010 Texas Bowl featuring the Baylor Bears against the Illinois Fighting Illini. Emory Hunt discusses the game and each team, including his advice to the Illini to keep Baylor's defense guessing. He continues on to suggest Baylor needs to play gap-control defense and their linebackers need to "sell-out" against the run. In the end, Hunt predicts Baylor will win the game, as they have what Hunt calls an "outstanding quarterback."
