#9 Illinois faces #19 Indiana in ranked primetime showdown | Illini

(WAND) - The #9 Illinois Fighting Illini head to Bloomington, Indiana, for a primetime matchup with the #19 Hoosiers.

Illinois is unbeaten entering Big Ten play after ending its nonconference slate with a 38-0 beatdown of Western Michigan at Gies Memorial Stadium. Quarterback Luke Altmyer threw two touchdown passes as running back Kaden Feagin added 100 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The Illini scored 28 points in the second half after overcoming a slow start.
