No. 7 Penn State can’t afford a slipup against an Illinois team that needed a field goal in the closing seconds to beat Toledo 30-28 in its opener and lost 34-23 at Kansas last week.
Penn State can’t afford a slipup against an Illinois team that needed a field goal in the closing seconds to beat Toledo 30-28 in its opener and lost 34-23 at Kansas last week. For the Illini, this is a chance to make a bold statement in a nationally televised game against one of the nation’s most talented teams.Penn State has an explosive offense with a quarterback who has thrown with pinpoint accuracy, completing 43 of 55 passes in the Nittany Lions’ first two games.
Illinois: QB Luke Altmyer. The transfer from Mississippi has quickly put his stamp on the Illinois offense. He leads the Big Ten in points responsible with 32, and has a team-leading 139 yards rushing. He’s just 164 yards away from cracking Illinois’ top 10 list for career rushing yards by a quarterback. Altmeyer’s 72-yard touchdown run last week against Kansas was the second-longest run ever by an Illinois quarterback and the longest in 91 years, since Gil Berry ran 75 yards for a TD in 1932.
