We have reached week nine of the college football season and this is a Big Ten showdown.
In this game the Illinois Fighting Illini make the trip to Ross-Ade Stadium to take on the Purdue Boilermakers. The Boilermakers have won the last three games played between the two teams.
Illinois Fighting Illini
This has been a weird season for the Illinois Fighting Illini but they are coming off one of the biggest wins in their programs recent history.
[dfads params=’groups=220&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
They come into this game having lost four of the last five games but the one win was a big one in their last game over the Wisconsin Badgers.
At times the defense has struggled but against the Badgers they stepped in a big way, especially in the second half and that led to a 24-23 victory.
At quarterback the Fighting Illini are led by Brandon Peters who has thrown for 971 yards, 12 touchdowns, and four interceptions.
In this game they need big plays from Peters and the defense needs to step up. If they start out strong they will have a chance for a win.
Purdue Boilermakers
On the other side of this matchup is the Purdue Boilermakers who have dealt with a lot of injuries and it has derailed their season.

They have won only two games this season, but in their last game against Iowa they stepped up big and even though they lost, they only were defeated by six points.
At quarterback the Boilermakers are led by Jack Plummer who has thrown for 1,292 yards, nine touchdowns, and five interceptions.
At times the Illini defense has been bad, and the Boilermakers need to try and attack that. If the offense can have success they should have a good chance to come away with a win.
If the offense struggles and keep the Illini around there is going to be a little issue because the Illini have a lot of confidence.

Even so, I think the Fighting Illini can do enough in this game to keep it close. The Boilermakers will make a play late to win, but the Fighting Illini will cover the spread.
