The Nittany Lions took care of business in their last game, handling Maryland’s several attempts at a comeback to win a pivotal game. Penn State now finds itself in another pivotal game, against an Illinois squad that has found some rhythm in the past few weeks.
While the Illini have lost two of their last four games, dropping one they likely should have had against Wisconsin most recently, they still have the firepower to keep up with the rest of the conference.
