The last time Illinois played at Ohio State, quarterback Juice Williams implored coach Ron Zook to let the Illini gamble on a late fourth-and-1 with a seven-point lead.
Williams picked up the first down and three more as Illinois kept the ball away from Ohio State and beat the country’s No. 1 team 28-21.
On Saturday, Williams and Co. return to the scene of that signature victory.
But this time, the No. 13 Buckeyes’ offense, led by quarterback Terrelle Pryor, might be too much for the Illini’s wobbly defense.
