Illinois needs a bounce back, but can the Illini get enough stops to pull out a win over Rutgers on Saturday in Champaign?
With losses to Indiana and Ohio State, the top two teams in the country, Illinois still had a case for the College Football Playoff. Last week’s loss to Washington, 42-25, out in Seattle dashed those hopes, however. Now, the Fighting Illini need to bounce back and end this two-game losing skid and preserve the strong season.
