Illinois is coming off of their second conference win of the season against Purdue, making their second half of the season better than the first half.
“To put two Big Ten wins together like that is big for our program.”
“We celebrated and then we moved on, a lot like last week.”

“Life tells you you can’t live in the past. We knew we had a second half of football coming up.
