Illinois is 2-3 after Saturday’s win at Nebraska. It was the first time the Illini have won in Lincoln since 1924. Now, they will come back to Champaign to host one of the best teams in the conference and in the nation - Ohio State.

Here’s what Lovie had to say:

On last week’s win

• The team did a lot right and made improvements over the last week.
• A good week of practice carried over to the game against Nebraska.

On facing Ohio State this week

• The Buckeyes have been one of the best teams in the Big Ten Conference (and college football) for a long time.
