Notes

Pre Game

Coming into this game Illinois is 0-3 in Big Ten play and Wisconsin is 3-0. All the predictions put this one in the win column for Wisconsin by multiple scores.

But that didn't happen.

Illinois fought hard in the first half, but started to lose steam. A late fumble by Heisman candidate Johnathon Taylor and Illinois is setup for the go ahead score. And they did.

A stunning defeat for Wisconsin and an epic win for Illinois.
