Game 5: Penn St
Posted by Dan O'Brien - September 28, 2007
Finally, a big game at home! A few fun facts about Saturday's contest: Illinois (3-1, 1-0) will try to beat a ranked opponent for the first time since 2001, and go
2-0 in the Big Ten for the first time since 1991. #21 Penn St (3-1, 0-1)—coming off a 14-9 loss at Michigan—has a dominating
9-1 record against the Illini since joining the Big Ten in the 1990s. Tomorrow's game features Illinois' 5th-ranked rushing attack (265 yd/game)
versus Penn St's 6th-ranked run defense (55 yd/game). Besides all that, the big question is can Illinois play well and finish against a
good conference opponent? The Illini proved last year they could play with the top of the conference, this year is the time to prove they can close a game.
Pregame thread.
Official preview.
