Illinois has looked like a brand new team for the last few weeks.
After a hot start, a four-game losing streak appeared to derail the season for Lovie Smith and the Illini. Then came the upset of Wisconsin during homecoming which was followed up by a strong road showing against Purdue.
Now, Rutgers is on deck with Illinois needing just two wins in its final four games to become bowl eligible. It has been a dramatic turnaround, and the team is looking for a strong win without any letdown against the Scarlet Knights.
