Illinois is looking to make it back-to-back wins after securing its first victory of 2020.

In Week 4, it was backup quarterback Isaiah Williams receiving his first career start against Rutgers. He became the fourth different starter for the Illini this season, and he shined with a school-record performance in securing the last-second win over the Scarlet Knights.

Heading into Week 5, the Illini are optimistic with all signs pointing toward a Brandon Peters return after testing positive for COVID-19 early in the season. Having both Peters and Williams available for the game could open up the offense and the playbook a bit against a hungry Nebraska team.

The Cornhuskers are also looking to keep the positive results coming after taking down Penn State for their first win of the season. It will not be an easy task with the way Scott Frost’s squad is playing.

Thursday evening, Illinois unveiled its hype video for the contest, and there definitely appears to be a tease at the return of Peters. Check it out:

Saturday’s kickoff is set for 12 pm EST on BTN.
