Last game: 31-0 win vs. Chattanooga
Next game: Oct. 1 @ Wisconsin

Taking away its Week 2 loss against Indiana, Illinois has outscored opponents 93-9 in its three other games. The Illini offense is much better than expected, and the play of Tommy DeVito and Chase Brown has complemented the defense well.

After three relatively easy wins for Illinois, they now travel to Madison to take on Wisconsin, who just got pounded on the road by Ohio State. Illini running back, Chase Brown, currently leads all running backs in the country in total rushing yards (604) this season, so it will be a ground-heavy game for the Illini and Badgers. Expect a heavy dose of Braelon Allen to try to stymie the impressive secondary of the Illini and this should be a dog fight at Wisconsin on Saturday.
