#12 Penn State Nittany Lions open Big Ten conference play against #22 Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday evening at 8pm EST.
The Nittany Lions (4-0) have begun the season on an unprecedented tear, scoring more points in their first four games than any team in the school's 122-year history.
Penn State currently has the nation's top scoring differential at 42.8 points. They have the country's sixth-ranked offense (538.5 yards per game) and seventh-ranked defense (222.3 ypg).
Despite their success, they have hit a few snags in the road. Several players have been suspended throughout the season, such as Maurice Evans, who had 12 1/2 sacks last season. Evans is expected to return from his suspension to play against Illinois.
Evans will be utilized in a scheme to help stop Illinois quarterback Juice Williams, one of the nation's best dual-threat quarterbacks. Williams has thrown for 450 yards in a game this season and run for 174 yards in another.
Last year, Illinois defeated 27-20 last season as the Illini received a big game from then-freshman Arrelious Benn, who had six catches for 84 yards and a touchdown and took a kickoff 90 yards for another TD.
Benn will be amongst the bevy of receivers in this match-up as Penn State sports arguably the best receiving corps in the Big Ten with Jordan Norwood, Deon Butler and Derrick Williams.
In the backfield, Penn St. is also talented. Quarterback Daryll Clark has thrown seven touchdowns and run for two this season, while Evan Royster (8.1 yards per carry) and Stephfon Green (7.3) rank second and third in the Big Ten in that category and have combined for 11 touchdowns.
