Hoosiers' Chappell will test Illini defense

"He's the best quarterback we have seen this year," Zook said. "Their quarterback is the real deal, and those receivers (Tandon Doss and Demarlo Belcher) are the real deal. He is hard to get to. You can say, 'We're going to blitz him,' and you can't get to him because he gets rid of the ball so fast."

Chappell leads the Big Ten and ranks fourth nationally with 309.7 passing yards per game. He has thrown 16 touchdown passes and only three interceptions for the Hoosiers (4-2, 0-2 Big Ten).
