Illinois was on a bye last week and will host Oregon in week nine before heading to Maryland. It be the eighth game for the Illini as they continue their quest to six wins and bowl eligibility. Illinois will be without quarterback Katin Houser, but the Illini could still be favored against Maryland.
There will be nine Big Ten games in Week nine, with all of them happening on Saturday. The Big Ten slate will be carried across FOX, FS1, NBC, CBS and the Big Ten Network, as usual.
