Road trip number two has arrived for the Ohio State Buckeyes in the quest to defend the school's national title.
OSU travels to Champaign, IL today to face off against the Illinois Fighting Illini in what will serve as a hundred-year celebration of sorts in the rivalry between the schools for the Illibuck trophy.
Illinois enters this contest having yet to receive a bye week this season after completing the sixth game on its schedule last week to the tune of a 43-27 win over Purdue. The Fighting Illini currently sit 17th overall in the AP Poll and have only tasted defeat thus far this season at the hands of an Indiana squad that delivered a stunning 63-10 beatdown to them three weeks ago.
