The Fighting Illini lost their first game of the 2024 season two weeks ago, 21-7 in a hostile environment to current No. 4 Penn State. Illinois still has two ranked wins on its résumé and could be favored in as many as six of its final seven games, including a big 22.5-point spread against Purdue. The Illini will look to get the job done with the nation’s No. 12 scoring defense (14.2 ppg) while getting quarterback Luke Altmyer and the offense back to top form.

The Boilermakers have lost four straight games since defeating Indiana State (49-0) in their season opener, with those four losses coming by an average of 35 points.
