No. 9 Penn State Hosts No. 19 Illinois in Prime-Time Big Ten Showdown

Both teams enter the game undefeated, with Illinois looking to overcome its underdog status against a formidable Penn State squad.

  • Penn State aims to build on its historic offensive performance last week, where it amassed 718 total yards against Kent State.
  • Illinois quarterback Luke Altmyer has shown significant improvement this season, throwing 10 touchdowns with no interceptions.
  • Penn State's wide receivers, initially a question mark, have stepped up, with tight end Tyler Warren leading the team in receptions.
  • Illinois has already defeated two ranked teams this season and is eager to add Penn State to that list.
  • Penn State's linebacker Dom DeLuca and cornerback Cam Miller are questionable for the game due to injuries sustained last week.
