No Place Like Home?
Wisconsin is still shaken following a home loss to Illinois
It wasn't pretty but the Illini won the game last night. The run game wasnt there for most of the game but Juice Williams threw the ball all over the place. The biggest play of the game came when Tavon Wilson forced a fumble on a punt then picked it up and returned it for a touchdown.
