We all want to quickly forget the dismal performance the Illini put forth last week at Wisconsin, but this week doesn’t get any easier for the Illini.
Purdue is coming off a down season last year plagued by injuries and lackluster play, but it got off on the right foot in Week One. Purdue is coming off a hard-fought, impressive win against Iowa. The Boilermakers used a balanced attack against the Hawkeyes, recording almost 300 yards passing and over 100 yards rushing.
However, they conceded 460 yards to the Hawkeyes last week, providing some hope for an Illini offense that managed just 218 yards of offense in the season opener.
