Chase Brown, No. 21 Illinois look to run over Purdue

No. 21 Illinois sits in first place -- just one game above four teams that are tied for second -- and will have to fend off one of those contenders on Saturday when it takes on Purdue in Champaign, Ill. The Fighting Illini (7-2, 4-2) were riding a six-game winning streak before falling 23-15 to visiting Michigan State last week. Tommy DeVito completed 25 of 37 passes for 288 yards and a pair of scoring strikes to Isaiah Williams, and Chase Brown rushed for 136 yards, but Illinois couldn't overcome 23 unanswered points from the Spartans.
