Part of Fox Sports 1 announcer JUSTIN KUTCHER's preparation for football broadcasts includes making sure he can get to the stadium on time.

Kutcher is set to call his second Illinois game of the season Saturday when the team hosts Purdue. He is working with analysts PETROS PAPADAKIS and DeMARCO MURRAY.

From his home in Charlotte, N.C., Kutcher planned a flight this morning to Indianapolis, then a drive to Champaign-Urbana. The storms in the Southeast weren't expected to be a problem.

"As long as my plane is here in Charlotte, I'll be good to get there in the morning," Kutcher said.
