Penn State vs No. 12 Illinois Preview: Can Lions Take Out Another Giant?

The last time a top opponent came to town, Penn State dropped 87 points in route to defeating No. 6 Wisconsin. Penn State has a knack for pulling one of these upsets most years, regardless of coach, but sometimes, we get a little treat and the Nittany Lions knock of two such opponents in a season! Can this year be the treat year?

Illinois has been good more often than not under Brad Underwood, and this year is no exception. The only knock on the Fighting Illini so far is that they themselves haven’t knocked off a top 25 team yet.
