Illinois football has a big matchup with Purdue on Saturday, and we are going to need everyone healthy and ready to go.

This is a huge game for the Illini, as we look to get back over .500 for the first time this season. But it won’t be easy despite Purdue only being 1-3 this season. The Boilermakers have talent, and they can put points on the board.

What Illinois needs right now is all hands on deck. This is a must-win game, especially if we want to make a bowl game. Beating Purdue will go a long way in stabilizing the season and continuing the winning ways of the Bret Bielema era.

Illinois and Purdue do have to deal with some injuries heading into the game, though.
