Illini try to buck Badgers' recent run

Familiar voices

Today's game is Illinois' third on Fox Sports 1 this season — and third in the last four games. The same crew is on the call, with Justin Kutcher on play-by-play and Petros Papadakis and three-time Pro Bowl running back DeMarco Murray providing analysis. That trio has seen the Illini give up 42 unanswered points in a 63-24 loss to Penn State and 46 unanswered points in last week's 46-7 loss to Purdue.

Super chunk plays

Purdue put up plenty of big plays on Illinois last week — 18 to be exact — but the Illini haven't always been on the receiving end of those type of game changers this season.
