Location: Memorial Stadium, Champaign, Illinois
Television: Big Ten Network
Illinois Fighting Illini
After a tough loss to Indiana last weekend, the Illinois Fighting Illini will look to rebound this Saturday when they host the Purdue Boilermakers. Illinois is now 1-2 on the season and 0-1 in the Big Ten. The Illini have a lot of potential on offense, but they need to find a way to be more consistent. Quarterback Tommy DeVito has thrown for over 500 yards and four touchdowns this season, but he also has four interceptions. Running back Chase Brown has rushed for over 300 yards and four touchdowns, but he was held to just 23 yards on 12 carries last week. The Illini defense has also been a bit of a disappointment, allowing over 30 points per game. Illinois should be able to win the game as long as they can get their offense going early. The defense will also need to step up and make some big plays.
Purdue Boilermakers
The Purdue Boilermakers are coming off a big win over Indiana last week. Purdue is now 2-1 on the season and 1-0 in the Big Ten. The Boilermakers have a solid offense led by quarterback Aidan O'Connell. O'Connell has thrown for over 600 yards and six touchdowns this season. Running back King Doerue has rushed for over 200 yards and two touchdowns. The Purdue defense has also been impressive, allowing just over 17 points per game. The Boilermakers will be a tough opponent for Illinois, but the Illini should be able to win the game if they can play to their potential.
