Did you know? Big Ten in Week 6

The Illinois defense has forced at least one turnover in 20 consecutive games, dating back to a Nov. 14, 2009, game against Northwestern. The streak was extended on the final play of last week's Northwestern game when defensive end Whitney Mercilus fell on the Wildcats' last-ditch lateral attempt.

Indiana has outscored its opponents 59-24 in the fourth quarter this season. The Hoosiers also have a 31-10 edge in first-quarter scoring, but they've been outscored 51-16 in the second quarter.
