The Ohio State Buckeyes are trying to get back to the college football playoff and have a chance to win a second straight national championship. The Buckeyes will look to remain without a loss on Saturday afternoon as they go on the road to face the Illinois Fighting Illini in Champaign.
Ohio State pulled out a 28-14 win last week against Minnesota in a game that should have been a cakewalk for the Buckeyes. J.T. Barrett is 41-for-62 for 472 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions for the season. Barrett will be looking the way of Michael Thomas with his 39 catches for 575 yards and seven touchdowns. Ezekiel Elliott leads the running game with 1,244 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns for the season.
Illinois flew past Purdue last week with a 48-14 win and are just one win away from clinching a bowl berth. Wes Lunt has played well at quarterback with 2,000 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and four interceptions. Geronimo Allison has found his hands on the ball a lot from Lunt this year with 56 catches for 756 yards and three touchdowns. Ke’Shawn Vaughn has rushed for 665 yards and six touchdowns to lead the run game for Illinois, who are so close to that elusive bowl berth.
