Game Preview
Illinois brings the 125th-ranked defense into Saturday’s home game with No. 7 Penn State wounded and ready to make major changes.
Toledo put up 28 points in the season opener. In a 34-point outburst Friday night, Kansas scored touchdowns on four of its first five possessions to drop the Fighting Illini to 1-1 and send head coach Bret Bielema back to the drawing board.
“Everything’s on the table because the standard of defense in which we play it’s just unacceptable,” Illini defensive coordinator Aaron Henry said of lineup changes discussed with the coaching staff ahead of the Nittany Lions’ visit to Champaign, Ill.
