After missing two games against UTSA and Virginia, Illinois football quarterback Brandon Peters will retake his place under center.
The Illini currently sit at 1-2 entering its third home game of the Bret Bielema era. No one said that year one would be easy, but the Orange and Blue went through some major growing pains in subsequent losses to UTSA and Virginia.
