Rutgers (1-2) will face Illinois (0-3) at 1 pm ET on Saturday as the favorite for the first time in a Big Ten game in six seasons. Can they deliver and become the surprise team in the conference at 2-2? While we wait to find out, our contributors make their predictions.
David Anderson: I am incredibly hyped for this game and curious what will happen because Illinois gets back their starting center, starting kicker, and backup quarterbacks. They had been playing their 4th string QB who can’t throw much nor set protections with the backup center, so opponents just dug into against the run.
