Some of the numbers are hard to fathom as Illinois visits Camp Randall Stadium Saturday morning for a Big Ten Conference game at Wisconsin.
The Illini actually have a better record at 3-and-1 than the disappointing 2-and-2 mark put up by the Badgers.
More stunning is the fact the Illinois defense is giving up fewer points a game than the hosts – eight per outing for coach Bret Bielema’s “D” and 19 for UW.
Of course, Wisconsin has faced a tougher schedule.
The Badgers are a seven-point favorite to beat Illinois for the 12th time in the last 13 years.
