The Illini are facing the first part of on-field adversity this season, with Bill Cubit's team taking a two-game losing streak into Saturday's game at Penn State. What does the offense need to do better against a stingy Nittany Lions' defensive line? Who's healthy? Who's not? Can the Illini still make a bowl game? Does a third straight loss seal Cubit's fate? Any discussion is welcome in beat writer Matt Daniels' weekly chat, slated for 2 p.m. on Friday from State College, Pa.
