The Badgers, typically scoring an average of 12 points per game, exceeded expectations by reaching the end zone three times. Illinois’ sole touchdown was a short run by Luke Altmyer midway through the second quarter.

Illinois moves to 7-4 before the last game of the regular season, returning home in hopes of defending the Land of Lincoln Hat Trophy against Northwestern on Saturday, November 29 at 6:30 p.m.
