After the nail-biting victory over the USC Trojans, a few standout players for the Illinois Fighting Illini topped the Big Ten's weekly honors.
On Saturday, the Illinois Fighting Illini had the redemption game of their lifetime when they defeated the USC Trojans, just a week after an abysmal performance against the Indiana Hoosiers.
After the two-point victory over USC, the Fighting Illini received some well-deserved praise from the nation and, more specifically, the Big Ten.
Following his 356-yard performance and two touchdowns, quarterback Luke Altmyer was named the conference's co-Offensive Player of the Week, alongside Oregon quarterback Dante Moore.
