Fresh off their bye week, Rutgers (1-4; 0-2) travels to take on Illinois (2-3; 0-2) in what is both team’s best chance at a Big Ten win this season. The Illini are currently favored by 2.5 points, but the outcome of this game can clearly go either way. While Chris Ash hasn’t announced a starting quarterback yet, the odds of Kyle Bolin starting are slim. Illinois is bad in defending the run and Rutgers will likely look to exploit that weakness. How the Rutgers secondary holds up against the pass happy Illini, who will likely be without leading rusher Mike Epstein, will be another key factor.
