Q&A: What to expect from Illinois against Wisconsin

The No. 23 Wisconsin Badgers look to bounce back from a rough defeat as they host Illinois on Saturday morning inside Camp Randall Stadium.

Illinois (3-3, 1-2 Big Ten) come off a 46-7 blowout loss to Purdue last weekend. Its rushing offense (nearly 229 yards per game) is potent, but it gains less than 385 yards per contest overall and is 108th in the nation in third down conversions so far.

Its defense ranks among the best in turnovers and interceptions nationally, but gives up 31.5 points and 504.7 yards per game, along with nearly 200 yards on the ground per outing.
