Former Michigan football quarterback Brandon Peters helped lead Illinois to a stunning 24-23 win over No. 6 Wisconsin on Saturday, throwing a wrench into next week's showdown at No. 4 Ohio State.

Peters, who transferred to Illinois in the offseason, completed just 9 of 21 passes for 174 yards, but his two touchdown throws, including a 29-yarder to Josh Imatorbhebhe with 5:53 to play in the fourth quarter, helped the Illini pull off the biggest upset of the college football season.
