The University of Illinois football team is in a struggle of their own.
The Fighting Illini will try to snap a three-game losing streak in a face-off with Purdue University.
Neither team is nationally ranked in the top 25, but they're both underdogs in the Big ten Conference.
Head coach Lovie Smith keeps an open mind, saying this is a Big Ten game with history and they're just getting to the heart of their true game plan.
Kickoff is at 2:30 in Champaign.
