'The Hat' stays in Champaign, as the Illinois football team knocks off their in-state rival Northwestern by a score of 20-13.
Bret Bielema's bunch has now won in back-to-back years in the battle for the hat, bringing the program's record to 59-55-5 against the Wildcats. This win brings the Illini to 8-4 on the year, as we now wait for their bowl game to be announced in the coming weeks.
It was a blistery cold game in Champaign for the navy and orange. There were plenty of people on this roster who contributed and who made this win possible.
