The Nittany Lions have won four of the past five meetings vs the Illini

The Nittany Lions have won four of their past five meetings. But this is also a weaker Penn State team, having lost the speed of Stanley Pringle and the girth of Jamelle Cornley, putting more pressure on all-star Battle to make plays. "We've dug ourselves a hole and we've got to pull our way out of it," coach Ed DeChellis said Monday. The Illini surely haven't heard the end of 38-33. The Big Ten Network probably will show lowlights of the anti-classic during its broadcast. That's fine by Weber, provided the score is reversed. "I don't care if we win 32-31. It doesn't matter," he said. "Just find a way to win."
