Illinois had hoped after an open week and facing another struggling Big Ten

Illinois had hoped after an open week and facing another struggling Big Ten team that they would finally find a cure to end its losing streak, which was extended to five straight.

"We talked about how we can't beat ourselves," defensive end MichaelBuchanan said. "That's one of the things we continued to do today. It's like we're all kind of pressing too much and trying to do a little too much in our jobs."

The Illini scored on their opening drive with a 2-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase to Eddie Viliunas for a 7-0 lead. They took a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter with a 5-yard Scheelhaase touchdown run.
