The Illini travel to Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday looking for their first win up there since 2002.
Wisconsin is off to a slow start this year at 2-2 overall, and 0-1 in the Big Ten Conference after losing to Ohio State last week. The Badgers have also lost to Washington State while defeating Illinois State and New Mexico State.
If the Illini are going to defeat the Badgers and show the Big Ten and rest of the nation that they are for real, they need to do these two things.
